Great intro to Quito local street food - Natalia was a great guide. She shared insights about Quito’s food, history and current life. She brought us to places we could not have found ourselves, where locals go for lunch during their work days. Food was delicious and there was lots of it. The final stop at the small art gallery was a great unexpected plus.

Incredible food tour with wonderful guide - This tour and especially our wonderful guide Daniela was excellent. Such a fantastic introduction to Quito city. I can’t recommend this tour enough. We feel we have made the most of our limited time here and have learnt so much and enjoyed so many amazing local food and drinks. If you are coming to Ecuador don’t miss this experience. Also to note we felt completely safe and it seems the media has exaggerated the situation here. Tourist numbers are down so come and help Quito and it’s lovely people.

A Taste of Quito - This was perhaps the best food tour I have ever been on during a vacation. What I really loved was the guide talk not only about the food but also about the culture of Quito and Ecuador broadley. I had so many things that I never had before. I also appreciated the guide's spontaneity when one business was closed. I highly recommend that you go on this food tour above others. And go with a friend because it is a lot of food!

Best foodie tour and guide! - Best foodie tour! A must-do experience in Quito. Do this tour first to gain a better grasp of the city’s vibe. Santiago was knowledgeable of the street cuisine, markets, produce, culture and local street art. We could not have had a better guide! I highly recommend Santiago and this street food tour. Many thanks!

Delicious and entertaining! - Daniella was an amazing guide for the trip. It’s a well thought out food tour with a ton of food to try (fruits, juices, soups, plates….loads) but a good amount of walking and seeing the neighborhoods while digesting between stops. If the walking is too much you can jump into a car no problem. I would recommend this at the beginning of your stay in Quito especially so you have time to have your favorites again!

Great food and wonderful guide - like a longtime friend showing us around his hometown - I can't say enough about what a great tour with had with Santiago ("Santi')! We started with the most incredible fresh pressed juices and sugar cane at a tiny hole in the wall storefront that we never could have found on our own. Then we spent the next 3 hours walking through three quiet neighborhoods in Quito and stopping in a variety of places where we didn't see any tourists - just locals. Santi knew all the proprietors and they gave us amazing service. We had a delicious pork meal, crispy fresh potato chips and empanadas, exotic fresh fruits and smoothies, traditional seafood soup and finished the day with local chocolates and beverages. Walking between neighborhoods helped re-build an appetite between stops. All the while, Santi shared insights about foods and associated traditions along with local architecture, history, politics, and street art. His English is perfect, even though we did most of the tour in Spanish because we wanted to practice. An unforgettable experience. Highly recommend Santi!

The best gastronomical your in Quito - The experience was amazing. The Bondabu team have really got it together and really what it's all about ! They took us to eat delicious food whilst giving us a cultural immersion into the history of street food and of Ecuadorian culture itself. I am from Quito and they took us to little joints and parts of town I've never been in my whole life. I was pleasantly surprised. At the end my belly was really happy and I would definitely do it again with friends and family also.
