Cusco Food Tour

Fernando was very welcoming and friendly from the outset, with great communication throughout the tour. He was a local guide, and spoke very good English. His knowledge was excellent and he went above and beyond to make our experience the best it could be. We had been exploring Cusco for the last few days, but the tour Fernando took us on opened up our experiences, to places only a local would know. The tastings on route were all excellent and an opportunity to try local things... of the sweet, savoury and liquid kind. He also recommended some great restaurants to try. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Fernando to anyone else looking to explore Cusco, and do so as early on in your trip as possible.

Fernando was exceptional! He was very knowledgeable, funny, engaging and professional. My sister and I has so much fun learning and exploring beautiful Cusco with Fernando. This is a wonderful tour and I highly recommend. Really enjoyed the tastings and interaction with local vendors who were so warm and welcoming and generous in sharing their stories, traditions and history. This was a beautiful experience!

Fernando was an absolute local walking us through the alleys, shops, getting us to experience bits of Cusco via all his friends in the city. Enjoyed learning about the history of the place, the physical remnants, and interesting stories. Highly recommend.

I LOVED this tour! I have genuinely never had a better walking tour experience. Fernando has been extremely knowledgeable about the historical context, spirituality, and the Peruvian cuisine. We visited multiple restaurants, bars, the market to try out local dishes, pisco, and fruit endemic to Peru. I’ve also been shown how to make Ceviche and he was kind enough to give me recommendations for my upcoming trip to Lima. Highly recommend for the experience and the lovely local people you can meet along the way!! Thank you again, Fernando for your kindness and the wonderful experience.

Fernando carried on even though I was the only guest and he wasn’t feeling well (which I never would have guessed, from his energy and enthusiasm). So much interesting information, delicious tastings, fascinating history. Will return to a few of the restaurants and will return to the main square to visit the Inca museum and at least one church, b/c of Fernando!

Best walking tour I've done. The guide was excellent and we have loads of food and drink free samples . His English is clear and easy to listen to. I recommend him.

The tour with Fernando was amazing! I got a private tour because of some late cancelations. Because I’m an artist, he took me to some very cool galleries and artistic parts of the city that I would have missed. He had a lot of interesting facts and history to share. I felt like I had a better understanding of the city, history, and gastronomy of Cusco. A fabulous day that I highly recommend.

Fernando was super knowledgeable and showed us good spots around the city! We even got to eat a sandwich, try a bunch of different chocolate, and try a passion fruit pisco sour!

This was an incredibly good walking tour! We learned a lot about both history and culture and got to visit several interesting places that we would not have found on our own. I can truly recommend this tour!

Thank you Fernando for truly excellent tour. The route was great with a variation that meant there was also something new. The depth of your knowledge was outstanding. But most of all the product samples and brief entrances to various sites really brought Cusco to life. I have already recommended your tour to others.

Do not hesitate to take this tour with Fernando. I’ve taken many guided tours (through Guru and other providers) and this was by far one of the best tours I’ve ever taken. His knowledge of the history of the city (and all of Peru) combined with his interest in providing a truly local experience makes this a unique and VERY worthwhile tour. I can’t say enough about how remarkable this experience was. RUN, don’t walk, to book it!

Our tour with Fernando was great. He knows a lot about Cusco, the history, the culture, the food and the places - and he is very passionate about giving a good experience. We had a lot of great tastings on the tour and Fernando was very helpful with a lot of good recommendations. Would definitely recommend.

Very nice combination of cultural and historical tour of Cusco and tasting of several local foods an beverages. Fernando was a real nice guide and knew so much about the history of cusco and Incan culture. We visited over 20 mplace of interest, shops restaurants and bars. All of the tastings were completely free and we never felt pressured into spending money at the local shops, restaurants and bars we visited. We even got a free little souvenir from a shop allong the way. Highly reccomend!

Fernando is a great guide! I was traveling solo and the only one on the tour and he curated the tour just for my interests. I learned a lot about the beautiful city center, Inka walls, and Cusco’s history. We also ate some delicious food. My favorite were the ceviche and buñuelos. We visited a chocolate shop where I got to see chocolate being made and an alpaca store where a woman was weaving, with extra historical context from Fernando. Near the end of the tour, we also got to see a beautiful view of the city and drink muña tea. Strongly recommend. I liked the first tour so much we went on a second more “local” tour of Cusco so I could see what life was like for an everyday Peruvian living Cusco. I really appreciated the chance to see the city for more than just the touristic centers. Thank you for a great tour!

We had a wonderful time learning so much about Cuzco. Fernando was super knowledgeable and grounded in Inca history and culture. He was really thoughtful to take our interests into consideration throughout the tour. We enjoyed each and every anecdote, bite, and felt we were in good hands.
