5.00We had the pleasure of doing this culinary tour in Cusco with Carla, and it was an unforgettable experience! Carla is an incredibly warm and passionate guide who genuinely loves sharing the culture and traditions of her country. Throughout the tour, we tasted a wide variety of local specialties, and every single one was absolutely delicious, not a single disappointment! The places selected were carefully chosen, and everywhere we went we received such a warm welcome. Over the course of these 4 hours, we truly indulged ourselves and learned so much along the way. It’s impossible to leave this tour hungry! A huge thank you again to Carla, we highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Cusco. Bonus: you also get to enjoy a little sightseeing around the city during the tour!

5.00We had the chance to join this gastronomic tour and it turned out to be a really enjoyable and memorable experience. From start to finish, everything felt very well organized, and the selection of places visited was thoughtfully curated. Each stop offered something different, allowing us to explore a variety of local flavors and get a better sense of the city’s food scene in a very authentic way. What we appreciated the most was how smooth and relaxed the experience felt. It never felt rushed, and there was a nice balance between tasting, learning, and simply enjoying the moment. The atmosphere throughout the tour was very pleasant, making it easy to connect with the experience and fully enjoy each stop. A special mention goes to our guide, Fabricio, who did an excellent job. He was friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable, always making sure everyone in the group felt comfortable and engaged. His energy and professionalism definitely made a big difference in the overall experience. Overall, it’s a great option for anyone looking to discover local gastronomy in a genuine and enjoyable way. We would happily recommend this experience to our clients and anyone visiting the city.

5.00You start from the market and go up to San Blas, with a lot of ground covered in between to taste authentic and eat food and visit the city. Our guide Ana was super nice and a bottomless pit of knowledge. Just book and enjoy the flavors and sightseeing!
One of the best food tours I’ve taken!

5.00What an amazing tour! The tour guide Carla met me on time and was super friendly. She gave a lot of information about local history and Peruvian culture through out the tour. She also checked in a lot to make sure the pace of walking and distance felt good since the elevation can be difficult if you’re not used to it! We tried a lot of different foods and I felt that the tour around parts of Cusco will really act as a springboard for my own adventures now that I feel more familiar and comfortable with it. Every place we went was warm and welcoming. I am so glad I did this tour and would recommend it to everyone interested in trying new foods and learning more about Peruvian culture! It was wonderful!

Every place we visited clearly reflects local, family-run businesses, each with its own story and passion behind what they do.

5.00This tour was one of the highlights of my time in Cusco. It’s the perfect mix of food, culture, and local insight—far more than just a typical tasting experience. We tried an incredible variety of dishes super traditional of the Peruvian culture. One of my favorites was the San Pedro Market, where you really get to see local life in action and our guide was the BEST - he was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about his country and culture, so it felt less like a tour and more like exploring the city with a local friend. The walking portion was a nice cultural layer and the stops are key points in the city, so I highly recommend it!
