Authentic - We met up with Vivi and she was at the meeting point as arranged. The pre-coordination was wonderful and reassuring that everything was set. Vivi was amazingly friendly and shared so much about her country through all the food we ate and places we visited. It was a great introduction on our 2nd day in the country. It was exactly the authenticity we were looking for!

It was so great, thoughtful, and rich in history and food! - I had an amazing time with this tour. I had Malena as my guide. She was thoughtful, knowledgeable, patient, and kind. We tried different Ecuadorian food and sweets and I got a rich history of the country and Quito. I highly recommend Malena as a guide!

THE BEST EXPERIENCE IN QUITO!!!!! - The whole tour was incredibly stunning !!! I actually got mesmerized by the traditions in this magnificent country. Besides the culinary offer Fernando provides, we learnt a lot about the culture and History of Ecuador. Since it's a broaden distance between places we dropped by several landmarks and we had the chance to walk down the streets of the north part of Quito, which is the newest part of the city. Every single spot we visited had an incredible assortment of food and the dishes are extremely tasty and of course the indigenous market is remarkable, I got astonished and quite delightful due to the traditions and the food, I couldn't take another bite after the tour since there are a few spots with huge dishes 😂 but it was awesome. The last part of the tour was a traditional market where you can recognize all of the fruits which are harvested in here and the best part is the hospitality and kindness of the people everywhere. 10 out of 10 THE BEST TOUR AND EXPERIENCE EVER!!!!
