Brilliant city and food tour - We had a fabulous time with Malena - a really nice walk, great history and great food! We enjoyed the unexpected dancing, and being surprised by the food (dog poop, new ways to cheers, biting into sweets with liquor, the holes in the walls, etc.). We did this on our first day in Ecuador and it was a great way to get an introduction to the country and to have a tour of Quito - many places and cuisines we would not have tried otherwise.
