Fabrizio was very enthusiastic and we had a great time being shown around Cuzco city. He took the time to show us some Incan ruins and local history on our walks in-between the different stops. We felt very safe the entire time and shared lots of laughs!! We felt that we made a friend in the process. 10/10 would recommend Fabrizio as a guide!!!

We really enjoyed our time with Harry. He was friendly and shared information about Cusco and his personal history along the way. However, we expected to have an appetizer at each of our stops. We had none. Harry brought potato chips which were great, but we expected more food than that. Additionally, there seemed to be a bit of lack of planning. The 2nd place we went was closed (long term) and the 3rd was full. Great time but not what we expected

Cusco is a very lively city full of little shops, restaurants, and bars. It was a lot of fun getting to see this scene through Fabrizio’s eyes. He mixes his deep knowledge of Cusco culture and sites with his love for food and pisco to make for a fantastic night out. Didn’t feel like a city tour at all. In fact, it was more like an evening hanging out with an old friend you didn’t know you had in Cusco. Unmissable.

We had a lovely day walking around Cusco with Fabrizio. He took our two families to some hidden gems where we got the local flavor while dining in real local spots. He talked about the history of the city while we cruised the streets. Our last spot the kids discovered their new favorite dessert picarones! A perfect day in Cusco with a real local.

Fabrizio provided a wonderful tour tailored to our interests. When touring the market, he explained the different sections which greatly enhanced our experience. Additionally, when I mentioned wanting to buy a painting, he helped find a reputable artist! Fabrizio’s English competency was beyond those of other tour guides I’ve traveled with in Peru (different company), and my friend and I would recommend this tour to anyone! :)Fabulous tour of the highlights of Cusco!

Fabrizio was an exceptional guide who made our day in Cusco and Sacred Valley truly unforgettable. From the very start, he was punctual and professional, arriving right on time with a comfortable car that made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. We felt completely safe and at ease with him throughout the day, which is so important when traveling as a family. One of the highlights of our trip was visiting Saqsayhuamán, a site I had been eagerly looking forward to. Fabrizio made the experience even more special by sharing fascinating insights about the site, bringing the history and culture of the Incas to life in a way that was both engaging and easy to understand. He adapted the pace of the day to our needs, ensuring we never felt rushed while still making the most of our time. What stood out most was how Fabrizio tailored the itinerary to perfectly match our family’s interests and preferences. The sites we visited were absolutely stunning, and it was clear he had thoughtfully planned the day with our wishes in mind. His ability to balance professionalism with a friendly and approachable demeanor created a truly personalized experience that we will cherish. Choosing a private guide like Fabrizio made all the difference. The privacy and personal attention allowed us to explore comfortably at our own pace, ask as many questions as we wanted, and fully immerse ourselves in the beauty of Cusco and its surroundings. It was clear that Fabrizio genuinely cared about ensuring we had an amazing experience, and we couldn’t have been more satisfied. I highly recommend Fabrizio to anyone looking for a private guide who is knowledgeable, attentive, and truly dedicated to creating a memorable and tailored experience. He exceeded our expectations in every way, and we’re so grateful for the incredible day he helped us create!A memorable day

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. Great experience overall

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!!What an experience!!

Fabrizio ist ein sehr freundlicher und netter Guide. Er ist zu jeder Zeit auf unsere Wünsche eingegangen und hat mehrfach gefragt, was wir sehen möchten und was uns interessiert. Durch ihn haben wir viele verborgene Geheimnisse der Stadt zu sehen bekommen, an denen wir alleine einfach vorbeigelaufen wären. Es war eine sehr tolle Erfahrung und wir würden eine Tour mit Fabrizio sofort wieder buchen. Verborgenes sichtbar machen

Angelo was great and tried to get me to try food that I haven't already tried since I've been here. Pretty tall order as I had tried most everything, including all the street food. He took me to San Pedro market and the San Blas market and was able to fulfill the task. I also went back to a place that wasn't open during our tour that he was going to take me to and it was amazing. Great job Angelo!Angelo was great!

We booked our tour with Fabrizio. Our flight was unfortunately delayed and we arrived in Cusco later than we expected. Fabrizio was so gracious working with us to reschedule the tour for a time that worked better. As Fabrizio was unable to make the new time, he kindly arranged for Pauld to meet us. It was an amazing tour of Cusco and we learned so much history of the area we would never have known! Pauld brought us to a huge local market that left us amazed. He showed us pre-Incan, Incan and post-Incan foundations that are still used and still structurally sound! We never would have known! We had the best fresh squeezed juice blends, visited an incredible art exhibit and found the best place for economical tourist shopping. Thank you Fabrizio and Pauld! You are both incredibly sweet and knowledgeable! You are friends for life now.Absolutely Worth every moment!

We had such a great time with Fabrizio. He’s very knowledgeable about Inka history, local culture and gives great restaurant recommendations. I had to cancel my trip last year and he was so helpful and quick to respond to any questions I had during the planning process for both trips! He offered great suggestions and worked with us to customize our tour. Best of all spending time with Fabrizio was like enjoying time with an old friend, he made us feel so welcome. I can’t recommend him more! Fabrizio Should be your first choice for the sacred valley or any tour in the Cusco area. Thanks for a fantastic time Fabrizio!!!Fabrizio was fantastic!

My wife, Tia, and I had the distinct pleasure of spending time with Fabrizio for the full day Sacred Valley tour— customized exactly to our needs. He was extremely responsive and even offered to talk beforehand because my wife has altitude sickness quite often and was a little anxious about our first couple of days at altitude. Fabrizio took care of us and treated us to a worry-free day. We enjoyed every single site he took us to and perhaps most importantly his pacing! He never once rushed us, but also kept us informed in how long he recommends for each site so we didn’t miss out on anything. I warned Fabrizio ahead of time that my wife needed lots of time meeting Alpacas, and he certainly delivered. I don’t think I’ve ever seen her so happy. Fabrizio also customized our needs for coffee, food and brewery stops, and captured amazing photos along the way. He was equally up for more challenging hikes or adventurous food options. Fabrizio also made us laugh and put us at ease with his jovial conversation and delightful stories. I could have easily hung out with Fabrizio for a week. Just book him. We are relatively seasoned travelers and would go back to Peru— a rare sentiment to return to a place when there is so much world to see, and it is in part because of what Fabrizio was able to share of his amazing country. Fabrizio will make your trip a great one

We had a great afternoon with Fabrizio. We had a very limited time to enjoy Cusco before moving on to our next destination and we knew the best way to get the most out of it would be with a local so we booked a tour. He introduced us to dishes that we wouldn't have thought to try and taught us things about the city we hadn't learned in the endless documentaries we'd watched and books we'd read. We laughed, wandered, learned, and ate. If you are looking for a fun, informed, outgoing guide you should absolutely consider booking with him. Fun, knowledgable, and charismatic

We enjoyed learning more about Cusco from Fabrizio! He was kind and showed us around the area. Unfortunately the tour did not meet our expectations in terms of learning about the gastronomy of the region as there wasn’t a lot of explanation about the food itself. It felt like more of a history tour with breaks for eating. More of a history tour

Fabrizio gave us a really engaging tour of Cusco centre from a local’s perspective. He took us to the market, introduced us to some of the stall holders and arranged us to taste some locally produced chocolate. We then went to a local bar and guinea pig restaurant and tried some local beer before marching up some rather steep hills to take pictures in the best viewing spots. Throughout, Fabrizio explained the history of Cusco, local customs and prompted us to stop for photos in the best spots. A very enjoyable experience with a brilliant guide that we will remember for a long time to come. Picture perfect local tour

We had a great experience with Fabrizio. He picked us up at Cuzco and took us to various interesting places in the Sacred Valley on our way to Ollantaytambo, where we picked up the Machu Picchu train. The itinerary was very well chosen, he was knowledgeable and efficient, and this trip proved to be a great idea. I wish we had hired him also on the return to Cuzco...it would have been far better than taking the bus back. He took us to Chinchero, Moray and up the ruins in Ollanta itself...a magical experience that prepared us for the magic of Machu Picchu.Excellent

He even gave us a choice for our last tasting between dessert or craft beer (we chose the latter). Overall, we all agreed that it was a wonderful night.
