Great tour, come hungry! - What a fantastic tour. Off the beaten path into neighborhoods you wouldn’t go to yourself and into some amazing markets and food courts. Santiago, our guide, is very knowledgeable and passionate about his home town and country and it was a pleasure to spend a few hours with him. DO NOT HAVE BREAKFAST before this tour so you can really enjoy all of the culinary delights along the way. Very highly recommended.

One of my favorite food tours I've taken. Authentic and delicious! - This was a really neat experience. We were able to eat at a few places that I would have 100% walked by without a second thought. These were authentic, local, and delicious. Santiago was a great guide and made for a really great experience learning about the different foods from Quito. Big fan!

Delicious Food in Quito - Our excellent guide, Ernesto, showed us a part of the Quito food scene we would have never found on our own. The food was fantastic and Ernesto’s discussions were informative and fun. We happily recommend this tour.

Must do! - Our guide, Santiago, was knowledgeable and made the tour feel like a friend was showing us around. It was a small group (6 including him), which was perfect. The food was amazing and we felt we got a real overview of Ecuadorian flavors and cuisine. The 5-10 min walk between stops was perfect. Really could not be happier with our tour and highly recommend this tour with Santiago. We left full but not feeling too full (a hard balance!), and like we got a real taste of the city.
