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.

The best empanadas! - Angelo was an interesting and well spoken tour guide. We got to try delicious food and go to places we would have otherwise not known about. Highly recommend doing this and the earlier in your trip the better!

A Delicious Experience! - Angelo was a fantastic guide. The meeting point was easy to find and he was there at the agreed time.
He is very knowledgeable about the local area and has incredible experience working in the restaurant business all over the world. We had a personal emergency, that had nothing to do with the tour, and were unable to complete the tour. However, Angelo was super helpful in getting us the help we needed. We were very grateful because we would have had a hard time communicating on our own in this situation. Afterwards he even offered to continue the tour even though we were beyond the time the tour originally would have ended.
Angelo is very professional, friendly, and genuinely a great person who we felt very comfortable with.
We would 100% recommend taking his food tour!!

Fabulous Food and Fun with Fabrizio - Fabrizio took us on a culinary cultural adventure. He is a great communicator, professional AND personable, friendly and fun. He took us to amazing restaurants off the beaten path with generous portions of mouth watering local fare. He is extremely knowledgeable about his home town’s history and was a great resource for things to do and other great places to eat. If you go to Cusco book this tour with Fabrizio, it will be the highlight of your time in Cusco.

Fun with Food in Cusco - Reynaldo was incredibly knowledgeable, warm, and interesting. What a treat it was to be able to sit and eat where the locals go and discover some culinary gems that we would never have thought to try or seek on our own.

Nice way to explore Cusco - We had a nice time with Fabrizio! We walked around Cusco and he explained a lot about their history, and he took us to some very local places, that we probably wouldn't have found on our own, and are glad he showed them to us! He tailored the food to our needs, as we don't drink alcohol. We were full pretty quickly after our first two pork dishes, so after we tried a few desserts, and ended at a chocolate shop. We spent more time together after and got coffee after :) it was a great way to explore Cusco with a local. I would recommend this tour!

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.
