Great Cusco Food Tour! 🌟 - We loved this food tour we did with our guide Fabrizio in Cusco! Not only did we sample so many delicious traditional Peruvian dishes, we also learned so much about the areas rich history, traditions and culture. The guided walk through the huge market after the restaurant tastings was so fascinating!
We definitely would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cusco and please request Fabrizio as your guide!

Excellent Food Tour in Cusco - My husband and I had a great food tour with Angelo. I would recommend doing this tour at the beginning of your stay as it was a very good introduction to Cusco.
He was a really nice, friendly guy, full of energy and very charismatic and his tour was definitely one of our highlights of Peru.
We started in San Pedro Mercado, tasting different juices and chocolates. We then moved on to other cafes, where the locals go, and sampled various different foods that we would never have discovered on our own. He also told us a lot about the history and culture of Cusco. I asked a lot of questions about life in Peru and he answered them all very patiently.
His English was excellent and he was very easy to understand. We would have liked to have done another tour with him but sadly my husband was poorly, and then we ran out of time. Angelo also recommended two restaurants: Morena Peruvian Kitchen and Cicciolina, both of which were excellent.
Angelo made the tour really fun and I would highly recommend him as a guide and we would definitely use him again.

More than just a food tour — felt like hanging with a local friend - We booked this private food tour in Cusco with Angelo, and it honestly felt like hanging out with a friend who knows the city inside and out. He went out of his way to accommodate my girlfriend’s many allergies (no pumpkin, avocado, milk, etc.), customizing stops like a fresh smoothie with tomato, orange, and some unknown Peruvian fruit — no artificial sweeteners, just pure local flavor.
We tried sugarcane off the street, something that felt totally authentic and un-touristy, and a passionfruit-like fruit that was tart and refreshing. One of the more “sit-down” moments was a stop for roasted chicken and fries (photo attached), super simple but really well done.
Angelo also made the experience personal — we chatted about anime, Tekken, Rubik’s cubes, and he even made me a 20-minute video after the tour showing me how to solve one. Totally above and beyond.
The tour lasted the full 3 hours, and while I can’t confirm every one of the “10 tastings,” the vibe was relaxed and real — not rushed or staged. If you’re looking for a rigid checklist tour, this might not be for you. But if you want to experience the food culture and connect with a cool local who listens, adapts, and cares, Angelo’s your guy.
Highly recommend.

Please do this food tour. - This is a fantastic food experience. We did it on our first full day so that we could get used to the elevation and learn about the city. Angelo was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Great price, great food, great experience.

Must book tour - Angelo was a great guide. We learned much more about the city, Peru, and the history of agriculture than we were expecting. The food was amazing and the vendors we were able to interact with were great! Thoroughly enjoyed our time and after he sent us tons of great recommendations. Must book!

Good, Not Great - There was nothing particularly bad, or great about this tour. Our guide was friendly and provided insight to the local cuisine. It wasn’t 10 tastings, more like 5. Again, not bad, not great. I would try something like this again if only for the guide around the local culinary scene.

Nothing special - We had a few dishes that were delicious a trip to the market. The guide wasn’t all that engaging which was a shame as I had read lots of good reviews.

Disappointed - The Tour did not match the description, we did not go to any of the places listed on the tour itinerary nor did we eat ceviche
. One of the main reasons we signed up was because we wanted to see see San Pedro Market and the guide did not take us there. Also we expected a three hour tour and it was only one hour and 50 mi utes. The Tour Guide was very well informed and we did taste amazing empanadas and picarones, but we were expecting a better experience.
