Great for food lovers! - This was a wonderful tour! I love to experience new cultures this was more than just tasting different foods. Our guide Vivi was awesome. She was so knowledgeable about the different foods and the culture around the dishes. My wife has a gluten allergy and she made sure to accommodate the food choices for this. We got to visit some markets for some quick shopping along the way. I cannot recommend this tour enough for anyone that likes to try a variety of local food and learn a little about what Ecuador has to offer!

Food tour - Quito - Malena was a wonderful tour guide. I ended up being the only one on the tour, so I had the opportunity to connect with her and learn more about Ecuador. I highly recommend this tour! The food from the local spots was really tasty, and it was a good mix of different dishes that Ecuadorians eat.

A great way to experience local food and street scenes. There was a very wide variety of tastes and textures. - We had a great time with our guide Vivi. She was very thorough in her explanation of the many different local foods we sampled during the tour. This tour is a great value for the price. We left food on the plate at each stop and were still stuffed at the end of the tour. Our tour was at 10:00 am. I would recommend not eating before the tour or having a very light breakfast so that you can fully enjoy each dish.

A tour worth considering - Interesting food tour. More food to sample than ability to digest. The guide was informative and responsive, but at times, hard to hear clearly because of the cadence and high pitch.
