Our Full Coverage City Tour of Cusco with Angelo was one of the absolute highlights of our trip to Peru! From the moment we met him, it was clear we were in expert hands. Angelo's deep knowledge of Cusco’s history, culture, and especially its incredible food scene made every stop meaningful and memorable. He took us to hidden gems around the city—places we never would have found on our own—and his restaurant recommendations were spot-on and absolutely delicious. What truly set this tour apart, though, was Angelo himself. His enthusiasm, quick wit, and genuine love for Cusco and Peru were infectious. He brought the city to life with stories, humor, and heartfelt pride. If you’re considering a tour in Cusco, don’t hesitate—book with Angelo. You won’t regret it! See the Real Cusco – Thanks to Angelo!

We had a wonderful time with Fabrizio. We were worried (but curious) about going beyond the tourist area and he made us feel comfortable and took us to some excellent food spots that we never would have been able to visit on our own. Fabrizio is great!

Wir hatten das Glück, Cusco mit Angelo zu entdecken – und was soll ich sagen: besser hätte es nicht laufen können. Angelo ist nicht nur super sympathisch und zuverlässig, sondern auch jemand, der mit echter Leidenschaft über seine Stadt spricht. Er hat uns mit viel Wissen durch Cusco geführt, spannende Anekdoten erzählt und auch für all unsere Fragen geduldig Zeit gehabt (und das waren nicht wenige!). Man merkt einfach, dass er liebt, was er tut. Ob zwischen den alten Mauern oder auf einem Aussichtspunkt mit Blick über Cusco – Angelo hatte immer den passenden Kontext parat. Es war nie trocken, sondern lebendig und nahbar. Wenn du also Cusco nicht nur sehen, sondern wirklich verstehen willst, dann geh mit Angelo los. Absolute Empfehlung!Great Tour in Cusco

My family of four had a fantastic tour of Cusco with Fabrizio. He absolutely reflected our energy and pace. He paused and gave us time to catch our breath when necessary and filled us with history, culture and stories of Cusco and the Incans. He engaged wonderfully with our 24 and 20 year old sons and helped expand their horizons with appreciation of Peru and her culture. Our time together with Fabrizio has been the best part of our trip. Thank you for the wonderful days!!Wonderful tour. Amazing guide!

Fabrizo was very flexible when we had to change our tour date due to other commitments. He picked us up at our hotel to start the tour which was very nice. We went to two restaurants, the first where we had fantastic adobo and chicarrón and enjoyed a local beer. We then went to another restaurant and had picarones. Delicious and we were so full. Plenty of delicious food. But what we didn’t know was that we wouldn’t get the tastings that were listed on the itinerary. It felt a little more like we went out for dinner and dessert rather than sampling a bunch of things. But it was still all very good. If we had known the change of date/time would have changed the food itinerary, we may have considered cancelling or going with another guide. It’s fun to sample multiple things. Fabrizio was a very knowledgeable guide. He knew a lot about the city and answered all of our questions. A bit more quiet and not as gregarious as our experience with other tour guides, but still provided us a good tour and experience. Nice tour of Cusco and great food

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 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!!!

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

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

Amy🇺🇸 United States

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

We booked a tour with Fernando to take a stroll through the Cusco and learn about its rich history during our 2 days of acclimatization prior to a 7 day Choquequirao trek. Fernando is a great guide, knows a lot about Cusco's history and culture and is able to tweak the presentation to keep all member of the group engaged. Honestly, we didn't realize how much we would have missed during our walks through the streets - had it not been for this tour. Fernando brought the city and its history alive for us during these 120 minutes! Highly recommend his tour as an introduction into the rich Inca history of Cusco.An amazing 2 hour walk through Cusco!

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!

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 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!

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.

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
