Tour description

Do you want to try our typical dishes and live a gastronomic experience with a gastronomy expert? We will take you to the most typical market in Quito, where you can enjoy exquisite gastronomy, exotic fruit juices and desserts that will make you want to order another one. Your guide is a gastronomic expert, chef in the city of Quito, who knows Quito gastronomy, vegetables and fruits typical of Ecuador. We will meet in Plaza de San Blas, where it started to be the first market and we will go down to the market. Let us know if you have any food allergies or bans to be aware of you. Our weather is unpredictable and on the road it can rain, so I suggest you bring a cap and umbrella (Quito's sun is strong too), comfortable shoes and a bag where you can leave things safe (do not display valuables) , bring money to buy inside the market and hunger.!

They were awesome guides! She is an architect so she was incredibly knowledgeable about the buildings in the center, their history, what was it used before, and how the city has changed over time. Her partner is a chef and he had a wealth of information about the cuisine, ingredients and preparations. We tried different fruits, saw seafood, medicinal herbs, etc. We had a blast walking around the market and the city center. They are so kind, so nice and simply amazing human beings! They exhibit the best of hospitality of Ecuadorian culture, a must-tour!
