History, Culture, and Food All Rolled into One
Fabrizio was a wonderful tour guide! He was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the city and Incan empire. He also had great explanations and stories for each food item we tried. The highlight was definitely the market visit and the fruit portion. We got to try so many local fruits straight from the vendors. This was an amazing way to see Cusco, learn its history, and try Peruvian cuisine!
