    Amazing food with Carla

    This was a fun and delicious tour! Our guide, Carla, was easy to understand and felt genuinely happy to be there. One walking part was a little bit of a tough climb, so be aware if you struggle with that. Overall we’d highly recommend!

    A must do!

    I am so glad that we decided to do this tour! Rodrigo was a fantastic guide, I can not say enough great things about him. He was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, a great storyteller - touching not just on the food, but the architecture and ancient ruins as we passed through the streets, cultural implications, etc. It was just my friend and I on our tour which led to a more private, intimate experience which was a nice surprise. Very well paced, a good amount and variety of food, and organized to guide the information. Would definitely recommend this food tour, we left it with a greater appreciation and understanding of Cusco (and Peru at large) and its rich history!

    Make sure you bring your appetite

    Carla was such a great tour guide! We loved all the food and enjoyed learning about the cities culture from someone who truly loves Cusco. We were so full by the end of the tour. So many delicious snacks, meals, and desserts. Definitely worth the money.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so glad Carla’s love for Cusco shone through and that you enjoyed discovering its culture and flavors with her. Leaving full and happy after all those tastings is wonderful to hear! We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Carla.

    Walking tour Cusco

    The walking food tour of Cusco was amazing. We started off in the Local market, and then some amazing local restaurants around the central area. Our tour guide Carla was excellent. She was extremely knowledgeable about food, locally and in general, and helped to ensure we had an amazing experience! I highly recommend it. 5/5

    Response from the operator: Thank you for the wonderful recommendation! We’re delighted you enjoyed discovering Cusco’s local market and restaurants with Carla. Her passion for food is a joy to share, and we’ll gladly pass along your kind words. Thanks for making us part of your time in Cusco!

    Cusco: Andean Food and City Tour with San Pedro Market: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Cusco: Andean Food and City Tour with San Pedro Market cost?

    +

    Prices start at $70 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 Cusco: Andean Food and City Tour with San Pedro Market take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 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 Cusco: Andean Food and City Tour with San Pedro Market worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 40 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Cusco: Andean Food and City Tour with San Pedro Market?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Cusco: Andean Food and City Tour with San Pedro Market suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Cusco: Andean Food and City Tour with San Pedro Market?

    +

    Around 14 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Cusco: Andean Food and City Tour with San Pedro Market 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 Cusco: Andean Food and City Tour with San Pedro Market?

    +

    Included: Lunch; and Licensed tour guide. Not included: Hotel pick up/drop off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Cusco: Andean Food and City Tour with San Pedro Market?

    +

    Main entrance of San Pedro train station (outside) Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Cusco: Andean Food and City Tour with San Pedro Market offered in?

    +

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