A Uniquely Local and Delicious Experience! - The Cusco walking food tour was a fantastic way to explore the city and its local flavors. It had a great balance of walking and food, allowing us to experience the sights while enjoying some truly delicious dishes. The empanadas, picarones, and wood-fired chicken with chips were definite highlights—so fresh and full of flavor! This tour offers an authentic taste of Cusco and is a must for food lovers looking for something uniquely local.

Great tastes and a great guide - Angelo was knowledgable and interesting. We spent a relaxed afternoon, strolling through Cusco’s streets sampling local foods at the market and in eateries. I enjoyed the food and getting to know more of Cusco from a local.

Tour tailored to my interests - I really enjoyed this tour. Fabrizio was my guide. He took me to San Pedro market where we had several tastings. We went to a restaurant and had adobo and chicharrone and potatoes. We sat at a restaurant balcony with sweeping views of the city and had a pisco chilcano. He showed me many of the sites around the city. He tailored the tour and tastings to my interests which made it a valulable experience. Highly recommend!

Food tour - This was a great food tour! Harry was really pleasant and knowledgeable and was a pleasure to talk with. We hit spots that I otherwise would not have known about- and the food was delicious. Definitely worth it!

Best Time for my First Time - We did get lost , but Harry ( our food guide)was able to find us. We were reaching out to him he was already calling us to make sure we were ok. BTW he did send a text the day before confirming trip, he also sent me a text letting us know he was at the meeting spot. First question he asked was were we ok , were we feeling good with the change in altitude fortunately for us we were feeling great.It was wonderful to meet someone from my neck of the woods. I am from South Carolina. He lived in North Carolina and he has been to Charleston several times so we had a great connection the first time we met. He was very considerate of our needs .The first stop he took us to was a juice bar at Mercado Central de San Pedro. A holistic juice bar to help us with the altitude sickness with all these different flavors of healthy juices.We looked at souvenirs,snacks,holistic aids to help with certain conditions.Went over the history of the market. Food of course was delicious, he was very knowledgeable about it all . Overall great time .

Fun Afternoon in Cusco. - So much fun! We were where the locals hang out. It was a blast. In addition to tasting local food, the guide gave us some history of Cusco as we walked.

Overall great experience - I had a great time with Angelo. His English is very good, and he is a good conversationalist, telling about the background of the dishes, and overall engaging. He definitely got me to try foods I had not yet tried, and I had been in Peru for 10 days by then. He also gave me some good restaurant recommendations for later. I would recommend doing this tour at the beginning of your trip, so you can learn about what you might like to try throughout your stay. My only complaint is the website advertised 3 hours and 10 tastings, and it was more like 2 hours and 5-6 tastings.

It's Okay! Price NOT WORTH what we received. - Our guide Angelo is well spoken and interesting. I will give him credit that he's very knowledgeable about the culture and he did interact. There were 5 of us in this tour. 1st Stop: Each of us had Jugueria (juice)-mixed with tomato(sacha tomate) /pineapple /orange juice. 2nd Stop: We sampled 2 kinds of passion fruits-one is sweet and the other one kinda sour. Good try! We had to share using 1 spoon. 3rd Stop: free chocolate samples from the market vendor that they sampled before you buy (those little round choco). 4th Stop: While walking to go to Copacabana for the empanada-he bought a toasted FABA beans on the street. He each handed us 1 bean for us to try-Dang! It was very hard! 5th stop: The Aunthentic Empanada- we all (my family) loves this-delicious!!! The dough was made of mixed sweet potato & pumpkin. I bought my own drinks. Suggestions: He should keep this for the food tasting all the time. 6th Stop: we had chicken& french fries at Los Toldos- It was okay, nothing special about the chicken. He ordered a pitcher of Peruvian red corn drink (but he told us to pay for it when we checked out. 7th/Last Stop: We had Tamales Josefina-desde 1924, he bought 3-he said to split 1 tamales to another person and he had to split one to me (interesting). So overall, didn't spend 3 hours, not 10 food tastings and drink(s). So I will say NOT worth the money we paid for.
