Great city overview and food to boot! - Steffy was very patient with our large group and slow speed. We saw all the highlights of Quito and learned lots of history and interesting facts. The chocolate tasting was very interesting and the owner Santiago was superb. Lots of different tasting experiences. Always enjoy taking a tour Viator!

A Taste of Quito - We had a great time with Stephane! She spoke great English, was very knowledgeable and let us ask as many questions as we wanted. Wish there was a full day option because there was more we wanted to see & experience!

A great Quito experience - Malena was my guide for the tour and she was fantastic. She took us to many sights in the historical district and gave us great information about what we were seeing and eating. This was a great way to learn more about the history of Quito and some of the foods that are popular here. I highly recommend this tour.

Viví was great! - 5 stars to Vivi! She’s very informative and friendly, and did an excellent job sharing her love of Ecuador with her tour guests. I enjoyed learning more about the country and trying a few different foods that I wouldn’t have tried otherwise. 4 stars overall because it’s a very expensive tour for what you get. Essentially the same as the free walking tour but with a couple snack tastings.
