Historical walking tour of old town with food tastings - I 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.

Shoutout the informed Kevin! - Great tour! Kevin is incredibly informed and a very warm personality. We very much enjoyed walking around with him and getting to learn so much about Quito, many unique facts we would not have been able to otherwise learn. We enjoyed the snacks along the way, especially the candies and chocolates and purchased many to bring home! Definitely a great way to get a taste of a very nuanced colonial history and how this impacted indigenous communities as well as the physical architecture of the city. Would recommend! Thank you Kevin!
