A great way to see Quito - My group of 14 friends and I had a great tour with Vivi! We had limited time in Quito and this was a fun and efficient way to see many of the highlights of the city while also learning about the history, culture, and cuisine of Ecuador. Highly recommend!

Great Tour - Check it out - We had a day of relaxation in Quito in between travel and decided to check out this tour. Kevin was our tour guide and he was the best! Very personable and knowledgeable of the history and culture of Ecuador. We probably enjoyed 4 different stops each with several small samples of different foods and sweets, and visited a few stores where we could browse for locally made (and in many cases indigenous) souvenirs. Our tour was approximately 4 hours and well worth our time and money. Thanks Kevin!!!

Best Quito Tour - I googled the best walking tour in Quito and this one showed up first. After experiencing the tour, I can see why! Stefy was our extremely knowledgeable guide. Her English was excellent, which was great because our Spanish is very weak. You can tell that Stefy loves her country and wants you to love it as well! My husband and I were so impressed with everything this tour covers. It is such a great value for the money! We visited so many cultural places and tasted some amazing treats! This is our first time in Ecuador and this tour was the best introduction to Quito as well as Ecuador!

A gourmet walk to remember. - Had a great experience on this tour, Vivi was truly the best guide l've ever had. Very attentive, modest, bubbly personality and empathetic to all our group's needs. We learnt so much and experienced some of what I think will be the best flavours I'll experience in Ecuador. Highly recommend giving this a go if you're in town and not sure where to start!
