I really enjoyed my time with Pamela wandering through different neighbourhoods, munching on snacks and trying various juices. With Pamela’s knowledge and interest areas, this was far more than a food tour as I got to hear a lot about Ecuador/Quito’s history, development, culture and more, which I loved. The spots we went to were super local and I wouldn’t have found them on my own, and each dish came with snippets of info such as regional variations. It was a great way to deep dive into the city in a short space of time and for a food lover like myself.

We had a great time on our Gastronomy tour with Vivi! having done the Old Town tour, this was a great way to see other parts of the city, learn a bit about the culture and get to try some great foods! we were also a group of Vegetarians, and Vivi made sure there were options for us to try as well.

We enjoyed everything about this tour - the culture, history and especially the wide variety of food (and fruit!) we were able to sample. Santiago was an excellent guide and host.

Santiago was a wonderful guide sharing with us the rich city heritage, street art, and of course differrent foods of Ecuador.

Nice to see areas of Quito we wouldn’t see on our own and try local foods
