4.00Vivi was an excellent tour guide Knowledgeable and happy to tell and answer any questions about Ecuador. We walked by and stopped outside many churches and landmarks. But we didn’t go in any. There wasn’t that much food and I wasn’t crazy about most of it. But that’s just me. The tour will give you a taste of old town . Thanks.Vivi I did enjoy meeting and talking with new people. I am glad I took this tour.
Best introduction to Quito

5.00This is the best intro tour for anyone new to Quito. It was the perfect mix of experiencing the local cuisine and history. Our tour guide, Kevin, was knowledgeable, engaged the group, and kept it interesting the whole time. If you’re thinking about a way to get your feet wet in the city when you arrive, this is a no brainer.

5.00We really enjoyed our tour with Daniel. We had previously taken a tour of the “old town”, but found this tour with tastings in small shops to be very informative. Daniel provided a great mix of local and indigenous history on the tour.
Vivi is awesome

5.00It was a great tour thanks to Vivi our guide! She gave us many information about Ecuador, Quito, Quechua language, history, etc. The tastings were great, and we stopped to see the most important buildings in Quito where Vivi gave us explanations. I would recommend this tour for any tourist. It is complete as it includes sightseeing and tastings. Really much appreciated!
Fantastic tour and day!
