Muy delicioso

Our guide was Pamela and her tour was amazing from the start. The fruit and juice tasting was amazing, especially the naranjilla juice. We had a special treat of touring on a Thursday, so we were able to taste bollobde pescado, which didn't look too good (to me anyway) but was very delicious with the pickled aji peppers. The local art was a great teat and finishing with the chocolate tasting was perfect. Highly recommend the tour and especially with Pamela as the guide. Salud!

Unique City & Food Tour

My husband and I did this tour on our first full day in Quito. It was a great introduction to the city! We tried a variety of different street foods/juices and walked all over the city. We went to areas we never would’ve visited as tourists. It truly felt like an authentic experience! Santi was our guide and was fantastic!

This is Quito is a great title for this tour

We had a wonderful tour of Quito and learned so much about the current day life of art and culture. Even my husband, a native to Quito, discovered new parts. Ernesto found ways to interest all five of us. I would definitively go again. Although I might miss the torrential downpour at the end. But as knowledge as Ernest is about Quito, he can not control the weather. The tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Quito! Thanks

Nice introduction to Quito by a local.

My wife and I spent a nice half day being shown around the old and new city by Nico. He took us to local markets and small restaurants where we sampled the local foods. We also saw some of the local parks and historical sites. It was a good introduction to the city. Contact Nico if you come here!

Quito historical, markets and street food tour: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quito.

How much does Quito historical, markets and street food tour cost?

+

Prices start at $110 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 Quito historical, markets and street food tour take?

+

Plan for about 3.5 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 Quito historical, markets and street food tour worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Quito, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Quito historical, markets and street food tour?

+

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 Quito historical, markets and street food tour suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 3.5-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Quito historical, markets and street food tour?

+

Around 3 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 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Quito historical, markets and street food tour 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 Full-Day from Quito Including Entrances, 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.
