Free Food Tour Quito
Time: 14:00
Duration: 3 hours
Price: Free
Ecuadorian food is a mix of the three great civilizations which have inhabited the area over time: The ancestral, the Inca, and the Spanish. Join our free Quito Food Tour and journey through the essence of the millenary gastronomy of the Andes!
In Ecuador, the sun is closer to the ground as it is on the Equator, and so this proximity can change the DNA of fruits and vegetables, producing the most nutritious and tastiest harvests in the world. Visit the Mercado de San Francisco, the oldest in the city, and try some delicious juices and milkshakes with exotic fruits unique to this land.
Taste Quito’s best Seco de Chivo (goat stew) in a traditional restaurant near the Metropolitan Cathedral. Enjoy a tasty Chucchucara with pork fritada, one of the most popular dishes in Ecuador, as you admire the best views of the city!
On our Quito Food Tour you will explore the most delicious and tastiest side to the city, eat like the Quiteños do, try their best traditional dishes and beverages, and learn about a gastronomic tradition that’s rooted in the heights of the Andes mountains and bathed by the equatorial sun.

Part of all tips goes to a local charity
We loved the interaction with Katty, she gave our small group such good personal attention. And we never felt rushed on this tour across the town. Going as a couple and sharing the food was great - if I had gone on my own, I think I would have ended up unable to eat all the good good foods.

The tour was great! We only had a few people in the group, so we got to decide what kind of foods to try. The guide was very knowledgeable about the Spanish and English words for all the fruits and foods. My favorite part was sampling the fruits at the market!
