A Wonderful Tour
I had a wonderful city tour with Daniel. He was full of interesting facts, engaging stories, and local experiences to help you learn about the city. Additionally, he brought his own fun personality and flair to the experience. I'd definitely recommend the tour as a great way to experience historic Quito.

Very Worthwhile.
Daniel , the tour guide was GREAT!! Knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, and on schedule. I really enjoyed all the information and the tour. IT does involve some walking but all doable. Three hours is the perfect length. Thanks.

Why this scores 88
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Experiential Walking tour: Flavors and Folktales: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quito.
How much does Experiential Walking tour: Flavors and Folktales cost?
+
Prices start at $40 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Quito usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Experiential Walking tour: Flavors and Folktales take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Quito is not rushed.
Is Experiential Walking tour: Flavors and Folktales worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 88 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 183 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Quito, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Experiential Walking tour: Flavors and Folktales?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Experiential Walking tour: Flavors and Folktales suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Experiential Walking tour: Flavors and Folktales?
+
Around 64 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Quito can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Quito and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Experiential Walking tour: Flavors and Folktales start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Quito within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Quito?
+
On Outty we rank every Quito experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cotopaxi Volcano full day tour with all the entrances, every day, Cotopaxi tour from Quito -horseback ride and hike-NO TOURISTY way, Baños Full Day Tour from Quito Including Entrances and Activities. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Quito?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Quito?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Experiential Walking tour: Flavors and Folktales?
+
Included: Snacks. Not included: Tips. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Experiential Walking tour: Flavors and Folktales?
+
The meeting point will be in the park in front of the church. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Experiential Walking tour: Flavors and Folktales offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
