Spectacular - Spectacular! The guide was cute! I got lucky pq ended up doing the walk alone. It explains a lot about the country’s culture and history. We pass through non-touristic areas and eat with locals. It was all a delight! At the end we ended up in an art gallery to try local coffee and chocolate. All very intimate and well thought out. Daniela was the guide and was perfect in everything! Do not drink coffee before the tour!! It's a lot of food!!!!

Best food tour and more - My wife and I usually go on a food tour wherever we travel and this might be the best one we’ve ever done. Ecuadorean food is incredible and the tour took us to places we never would have found on our own. More than that, our guide Santiago was the best tour guide we’ve ever had. He was incredibly insightful. While it may have been a food tour, we learned so much about Ecuadorian culture, history, art, and politics— it really helped us start off of our visit to Ecuador. Can’t recommend enough, muchos gracias Santiago!

Great food tour! - This was a great food tour and Santiago was an excellent guide. We've found a great way to learn about a region and culture is through its cuisine. This tour did not disappoint. It was a wonderful experience! Santiago was friendly and very knowledgeable. All our stops were interesting, the food provided was delicious and plentiful (do not eat before this tour!), and Santiago provided a wonderful overview of Ecuadorian culture. He chose delicious spots to introduce us to the local food and drink. He also pointed out several sights along the way including an interesting street with beautiful street art and an artist coop. A bit pricey but well worth the cost. Highly recommend.

A must do tour for any foodie or visitor to Quito - We always enjoy a foodie walking tour early in visiting a new city. This Quito version excelled thanks to Santi, our guide. We were exposed to more unique foods than imaginable. Ecuador is truly a foodie paradise. Santi also introduced us to the local art scene and it's impressive graffiti.
