Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"A gentle but interesting walking tour of Custco. Noe took his time helping us acclimatise to the steep roads and altitude yet still giving us plenty of information and showing us some lovely sites. We didn’t choose to visit inside some of the sites and on reflection probably should have. "
"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. "
"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! "
"Bravissimo Fernando! Grazie per la tua preparazione e passione con cui ci hai fatto apprezzare la tua splendida città. Sei stato una guida preziosa e attenta."

"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!"
"We've done 3 tours with Fabrizio - Sacred Valley, Cusco city tour and the 10 tastings of Cusco. We've had a great experience starting with the food tour as one of the first things we did in Peru. Fabrizio won't bring you to fancy restaurants and give you food no Peruvian would touch - he will instead give you the chance to try real local snacks, talk to you about the history and culture of his country and quickly turn into a local friend. Do not hesitate to ask him for a favor in accomodating your tour schedule, we found him to be very flexible and supportive with the specifics of our case. Furthermore, he also adjusted the tours to fit our wishes, resulting in the ability to see more than initially planned. We suggest that you book one tour with Fabrizio and take it from there - with all the tips and recommendations he could give you about Cusco. Ask a lot, be curious and connect! That's what we've done. "
"Fernando made Cusco come alive for us with his charming and informative walking tour. Excellent English speaker, highly recommend!"
"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."
"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. "
"Fabrizo was really flexible allowing us to change the time of booking and met us on time. He was really friendly, informative and passionate about Cusco. He moved at our pace and took us to some great places including a brilliant explanation around the main market in Cusco. "
