    Great Customer Service

    So I actually was super sick and could not go so my husband went without me. Not only did he come back having had a great time but the tour guide sent him back with chicken noodle soup for me and muna tea because I missed the tour. It was very kind and thoughtful! My husband stated it was great and would highly recommend to anyone visiting Cusco!

    Response from the operator: Ohh we hope you are feeling better and that the famous chicken diet soup and muna tea helped . We are so glad to hear hubby enjoyed. Safe travels

    Curious Monkey Cusco- Eat the Streets, Walking Food Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.

    How much does Curious Monkey Cusco- Eat the Streets, Walking Food Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $80 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cusco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Curious Monkey Cusco- Eat the Streets, Walking Food Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cusco is not rushed.

    Is Curious Monkey Cusco- Eat the Streets, Walking Food Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 174 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Curious Monkey Cusco- Eat the Streets, Walking Food Tour?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Curious Monkey Cusco- Eat the Streets, Walking Food Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Curious Monkey Cusco- Eat the Streets, Walking Food Tour?

    +

    Around 61 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cusco can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cusco and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Curious Monkey Cusco- Eat the Streets, Walking Food Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cusco within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Cusco?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Cusco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sacred Valley Full Day Tour, Full-Day Humantay Lake Trek (Meals Included), Cusco: Rainbow Mountain & Red Valley Premium Day Trip with Meals. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Cusco?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Cusco?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Curious Monkey Cusco- Eat the Streets, Walking Food Tour?

    +

    Included: Local guide; Pickup and drop-off from designated meeting points; Local taxes; Tea and coffee; and Food tasting. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Curious Monkey Cusco- Eat the Streets, Walking Food Tour?

    +

    Our meeting location is Plaza Santa Catalina just past the Monastery Santa Catalina entrance. You will see your guide on the left by the fountain(puma statue or a red wall Sep 2026 )waiting. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Curious Monkey Cusco- Eat the Streets, Walking Food Tour offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Curious Monkey Cusco- Eat the Streets, Walking Food Tour?

    +

    Is Curious Monkey Cusco- Eat the Streets, Walking Food Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
