"Fabrizio customized our tour to fit our wants for the evening and was a great storyteller to boot. The food was delicious and we had lots of laughs to go along with it. My friend and I had a great time and have already recommended him to other friends we met in Cusco!"
"If you want to have a wonderful tour of the tastes and history of Cuzco there is only one Fabrizio! Personable and witty, he will keep you entertained and informed with his epicurean elan. There are plenty of other tours and plenty of other guides. But, there’s only one … Fabrizio! "
"Angelo was a knowledgeable and thorough guide! It was a nice experience early in our trip to understand the local food and market better. My only recommendation would be to expand the tour a bit further - there were only 5 stops and it would have been nice to explore the market more and taste some other local flavors. "

Amazing food tour experience!
"Fabrizio was an amazing guide, extremely knowledgeable and very accommodating to us. He truly knows the local history of Cusco and the hidden restaurants that are absolutely amazing (one was not even on Google maps). We have tried many classic Peruvian dishes, yet this tour was entirely unique and incredibly delicious. We highly recommend anyone who wants to see the real Cusco to take this tour. You will not regret it!"

A great experience
"We wanted to do some food tastings and also learn about Cusco and its history. We got both with Fabrizio. The weather was bad but he still did the tour with us which we appreciated. "
"Super enjoyed our time with Fabrizio. The day was perfect. It was like having a local family member show you around the region. Wow, the lunch was incredible. We ate at Las Manos and it was incredible. If you can, go there with Fabrizio. He was so kind in helping me with my Spanish learning. In summary, for me and my grandson, it was an incredible day with a great local guide. Thank you."
"Fabrizio is an incredible host. The food was excellent, being vegetarian was not an issue. He accomidated us with exceptional flavors of Perú! He is full of knowledge, generous with his time, humor, and gave us way more then \"food tour\" vibes.
On a personal note Fabrizio is an honest man and we were safe in his hands.
I would reccomend his for the best of people. He is a gem. Mahalo nui loa Fabrizio "

Pick Fabrizio!
"Fabrizio is a wonderful guide and an intelligent, fun, knowledgeable person to spend the day with. I was traveling with my daughter and eight year old grandson. He made sure Sam had a wonderful time too.
Cusco is a beautiful and charming city stepped in history and Farizio helped make it all come alive.
When the tour ended I felt like I was saying goodbye to an old friend. I would recommend him over and over again."
"We’re a family of five with kids ages 18, 15, and 11. Fabrizio was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and spoke excellent English. He even took us slightly off the beaten path, which we really enjoyed. Along the way, he introduced us to a traditional Peruvian game called Sapa. We got to play it while waiting for our lunch at a very cool outdoor restaurant. The whole experience was more than we could’ve hoped for."
"HE IS THE BEST TOUR GUIDE IN CUSCO and ONE OF OUR FAVORITE GUIDES OF ALL OUR TRAVELS!! We had the opportunity to spend 2 AMAZING days with Fabrizio. We signed up for the 3 bites and a drink Cusco and 7 hr Sacred Valley tour. The bite and drinks evening was the best tastes we had in Cusco. We went back to the restaurants he took us too because they were so good. Time flies by when talking with Fabrizio. His insight and and understanding of Cusco and the INCA history/culture was extensive. It felt like we had a college professor with us for those 2 days. WE HIGHLY WOULD RECOMMEND SIGNING UP for a personal tour of Cusco and the local region/Sacred Valley. Fabrizio will not disappoint and exceed your expectations. Ciao - Kevin and Jack"
