Curious Monkey Food Tours is the original walking food tour around the historic centre of Cuzco. We love Cuzco and we love the food even more so, we created this tour to share some of our favourite market and street food vendors.

AMAZING! Thanks to Lizbeth, who made our Cusco food tour a fantastic experience. We were fortunate to have a small group of just three people. Lizbeth took us on a whirlwind tour of magical tasting for the next four hours, from simple Peruvian tamales to the most exotic, delicious, and juicy fruits. My favorite was lunch at Yoli, where we had pork adobo. The adobo broth alone was heavenly. Additionally, we did a tasting of Anisada to aid with digestion after having the pork adobo :) Lizbeth then took us to San Pedro Market. It was a wonderful experience to see the locals going about their business by shopping and dining at their favorite spots. Lizbeth also took us to Mercado Casccaparo. What we enjoyed the most about our food tour was Lizbeth's passion as a guide. Her childhood stories of going to the markets with her mother made it more personal. We could envision her as a little girl enjoying both markets' offerings.

Flor was a wonderful tour guide and very attentive and thorough in her explanations. She was conscientious about how we were doing with the altitude, went into great care with sanitizing the utensils, and we enjoyed the tour and her very much! Choose Flor!

Flor was amazing and very accommodating. She was attentive to our well being as we were still acclimating to the altitude when we took this tour. She's so passionate about her culture's gastronomy and history that it really made the tour that much more enjoyable. Her recommendations for places outside of Cusco were also amazing. Overall it was a great tour, made better by a great tour guide.

We loved our tour with Flor! It was a great way to get to know the layout of the city on our second day there, and to learn the history. Flor was so nice, friendly, and easy to talk to, and her love of Cusco and Peru shines through her as a tour guide. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting her and the locals she introduced us to, and listening to all she had to say about the food, culture, and history in Cusco. She was able to give us advice about other things to do in the area as well. The food was beyond plentiful - come hungry! Highly recommend this tour company. Signing up online was seamless and they we quick to return emails about my various questions.

Liz was so incredible- she really took good care of me, gave interesting information about the city and food, and was so much fun. She really made this a great experience, and gave me helpful tips and recommendations for restaurants in the city. Definitely ask for Liz as your guide!

This tour is an amazing way to learn about Peruvian food, culture, and history! We had such a fantastic time with our guide Liz, who was extremely knowledgeable and kind. We would absolutely recommend Curious Money food tours to anyone coming to Cusco in the future.

I’ve done multiple food tours in a few cities across the globe and this was by far the best one. Our guide, Flor, was extremely knowledgeable about everything Peru related and was able to answer all our questions about food, culture, and getting around the area. She got us inside looks into multiple spots, did not hesitate to offer to take our picture, and was all around an amazing guide.
One of us being a Vegetarian with some allergies, Flor was extremely accommodating and was able to take us to only locations where they served veggie options and was able to work around any allergies we had. She even booked us a reservation at another restaurant for dinner when she heard what food we were still looking to try. We tried foods we’ve always wanted to, and some we had never even heard of and we are happier than we could’ve hoped for. I could not recommend Curious Monkey and Flor more!

We did a walking food tour with Curious Monkey during one of our acclimation days in Cusco. We were looking for someone who could guide us around and explain the local food, markets, produce. Well, we lucked out with Flor. She’s the most friendly, knowledgeable introduction to Cusco we could have hoped for. Flor took us to her favorite places and we learned so much from her. All the food was delicious. Everyone Flor interacted with at the markets just loved her too. Don’t miss out on this tour as you get used to the elevation.

Our guide Liz gave the best city food tour I’ve ever done. She introduced us (a couple plus a friend) to foods and restaurants and markets we wouldn’t otherwise have tried. She was terrifically knowledgeable, describing the difference between the many types of foods. She brought cups and utensils so we could have small samples of many different foods and know it was all clean. She even washed lots of fruit with materials from her backpack! She shared SOOO much of Cusco’s culture. And she adjusted the tour to our needs. Then we saw her later on the streets of Cusco and got a big hug! We love Liz!!

We really enjoyed our food tour with Curious Monkey! Our guide was Flor and she was awesome. She took us to a lot of places we never would have found on our own. She was very knowledgeable about everything in Cusco. We felt very well taken care of - she even carried her own plates, cups and silverware for us to use to make sure we were safe. Would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Cusco.
