Make this tour a priority while in Quito - We had a fantastic time with our guide, Santiago. The food was delicious - best empanadas we’ll probably ever eat - and the overview Santiago provided of Ecuadorian flavors, ingredients, and cultural traditions was top notch. It was like a half-day Quito city tour with historical information and lots of amazing food. Trust me - you want to take this tour.

She is amazingly passionate about the food and the stops and really has formed a wonderful connection with all the food vendors and places we stopped at!

Grateful we didn’t miss this. Sensational day and huge highlight in Quito. - Had the most incredible day with Natalia! Food was spectacular and super varied. She was so kind and knowledgeable, and she was so easy to talk to. She gave us amazing insight into the local art and history of the city. Was one of the highlights of our Quito stay and was so grateful to taste so many things I would’ve have known to the otherwise! I’m a pescatarian, and she easily made this fit my diet. So grateful for that. She even gave us recommendations for a great bar near our hotel which we tried and loved. Thanks Natalia!

A real taste of Quito and a well-paced way to spend half a day. - Wow, what a day. After nearly two weeks in Ecuador, we only had one full day in Quito, and we spent it wisely with Daniela. We definitely felt like we got to see the real Quito, and taste a lot of authentic bites along the way. Daniela easily accommodated my husband's aversion to fish, and paced the trip perfectly. My highlight was choosing and tasting various exotic (to me) fruits at the market. Ending in the Espacio Cultural was a real treat. It was a relaxing way to end the tour, and our visit to Ecuador. Highly recommend!

Excellent Food Tour - Booked the food tour last minute, I ended up being the only person on the tour. I was met by Santi who was brilliant in showing the best local spots hidden away. Everything from local soups, juices to empanadas. Definitely have a very light breakfast before going on the tour. I was stuffed after the tour.
