    Local Flavor Done Just Right

    Such a great time and a true local experience. Really enjoyed walking through the streets of Quito, learning the history of the city, and trying loads of food/drinks along the way! Definitely worth your time.

    Best Food Tour Experience—Anywhere in the World

    Neto delivered, without question, the best food tour I’ve ever experienced—and that’s saying a lot. Starting the day with fruit in Quito was nothing short of extraordinary. I’ve traveled extensively, and this was hands down the most incredible fruit tasting experience I’ve ever had anywhere in the world. The flavors, the variety, and Neto’s knowledge made it unforgettable. Beyond the food itself, Neto is an exceptional guide and host. His recommendations were spot-on, thoughtful, and clearly tailored with care and expertise. To top it off, he poured fantastic cocktails at his bar, adding yet another layer of fun and authenticity to the experience. What truly sets Neto apart, though, is how far he goes for his guests. A full week after our tour—when we passed back through Quito—he still went out of his way to send us an additional restaurant recommendation. That level of generosity and attention is rare and speaks volumes about who he is. If you’re considering a food tour in Quito, don’t hesitate. Neto is passionate, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making your experience exceptional. This wasn’t just a tour—it was a highlight of our entire trip.

    Fantastic food and walking tour!

    We LOVED our outing with Santiago. We got to try so many delicious foods while hearing about the history and politics of Ecuador and learning more about Quito itself. And getting to see cool street art and murals topped off the day. Highly recommend!

    Amazing food tour with local chef!

    We had a fantastic time on this tour. The guide is super friendly and knows so much about the local food scene. We tried a great mix of tasty street eats, and got to hear cool stories about each dish, as well as the history and culture of Quito. We really loved going off the beaten path to unique and local places. This really enhanced the experience! It was not just a “tourist” tour. We even got a recommendation and reservations for an AMAZING dinner after the tour. We highly recommend this tour. If you are interested in the Quito food scene, do not miss this tour.

    Quito street food Bites and Bricks with a Local Chef: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Quito street food Bites and Bricks with a Local Chef cost?

    +

    Prices start at $90 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 street food Bites and Bricks with a Local Chef take?

    Is Quito street food Bites and Bricks with a Local Chef worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 22 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 street food Bites and Bricks with a Local Chef?

    +

    +

    Around 8 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 Quito street food Bites and Bricks with a Local Chef start and how do I get there?

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.
