Great Customer Service
So I actually was super sick and could not go so my husband went without me. Not only did he come back having had a great time but the tour guide sent him back with chicken noodle soup for me and muna tea because I missed the tour. It was very kind and thoughtful! My husband stated it was great and would highly recommend to anyone visiting Cusco!
Operator response
Ohh we hope you are feeling better and that the famous chicken diet soup and muna tea helped . We are so glad to hear hubby enjoyed. Safe travels

Food and fun in Cusco
Our guide, Joel, took us to 6 different places with good mix of street food, restaurants, and tiny shops. It was fun to stroll around town after dark with lights, shoppers, and music all around. In addition to the food, we learned a lot about the culture. It was a very festive and memorable evening !

Exceptionally well done
Having taken many cooking classes over the years, the private class makes all the difference. It’s personalized and you participate in every step. I will not take another group class for cooking.

Great food tour with a wonderful guide
Sonia is a great guide. So much food! Be very hungry when you go. She found plenty of yummy food for the vegetarians in our group.
Operator response
Thank you , so glad you and we had happy vegetarians!!

A great experience learning about delicious Peruvian food!
Had a great time with Sonia learning about and eating different Peruvian food and drinks. It was fun to walk around Cusco to find some of the hidden gems with tasty treats. We appreciated that she was able to accommodate our 2 vegetarians and 1 person who couldn’t eat red meat. Got to try so many delicious things but my favorite was the papa rellena. Yum! Thank you to Sonia for making it a fun and memorable experience. Would definitely recommend to other travelers visiting Cusco.
