Best food tour in Quito

5.00I had a fantastic food tour in Quito with Edwin and would highly recommend him. I ended up being the only guest, so it became a private tour, which was a real bonus. Edwin’s English is excellent and he’s extremely knowledgeable about Quito’s history, culture, and food scene. He explained things clearly and thoughtfully, and I learned a lot beyond just the food. He was also very attentive to my food preferences and allergies, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and well cared for. The pace was great, the food was delicious, and the tour felt personal rather than scripted. If you’re looking for a food tour that combines great local insight with flexibility and genuine care, Edwin is an excellent choice.

5.00We landed in Quito after a sleepless red eye flight and decided to hit the ground running with a walking food tour. It turned out to be a wonderful decision, we got to meet our guide Kevin who showed us around Quito’s old town while sampling food and learning about Quito’s rich history. Kevin was a charming guide while entertained us with stories and historical facts. We tasted chocolate, jam, coffee, empanadas, and candy. Overall it was a great introduction to Quito with a knowledgeable guide.
A great way to experience the historic center of Quito!

5.00Great tour - learned about Quito’s history with humor and tasted chocolate, wines, jams, etc. Daniel was a great guide. 4 hour walking tour with rest stops. Interesting architecture and felt safe. We had a 12 hour layover in Quito and Ubered into Quito for the tour and then had dinner there.

5.00I had a private tour as I was the only participant. Kevin has a detailed knowledge of the history of the buildings and the cultural aspects of Ecuador. The tour was a great introduction to Quito’s centre, the people and the food. Chocolate tasting was interesting.
