Fluor was a great tour...

Colman_N, Sep 2025

Fluor was a great tour guide! She was able to accommodate gluten free diet. Tour was very informative and fun! We left the tour super full so be ready to eat! My favorite part was picking the fruit at the market and then eating them all at the end of the tour.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

So happy to hear you enjoyed the tour with Flor.

Fabulous tour for foodies!

Erin_C, Dec 2024

This was a fabulous tour. We went to so many little gems that we would have walked right past without knowing. We also went to several personal vendors and tried so many new things. Come hungry because you will eat A LOT!

Response from Host, Jan 2025

So glad you enjoyed the tour ! Happy new year!

Great experience in Cusco

Lizbet was a wonderful guide. She is very knowledgeable about the history and preparation of food in Cusco and Peru. We had an amazing experience, ate great food and learn so much. Lisbet also took us to hidden gems of restaurants that you would not find unless you were a local. We had a fantastic time. We would happily do this tour again and would highly recommend Lizbet and this tour.
