Quito Old Town: Walking Tour with Church History & Local Food Tastings

‹
Quito Old Town: Walking Tour with Church History & Local Food Tastings★★★★★★★★★★ 4.98 (183)3hYou walk through Quito's colonial center visiting four major churches — the golden Jesuit baroque, the oldest church with South America's first brewery underneath, the Gothic Basilica, and the Independence Plaza where the city's history is written in the buildings around you. Local food tastings are included, and if you visit Monday through Friday, you climb to the roof of Ecuador's first university for a view that ties the whole morning together.Is it for me?Right for travelers who want to understand Quito's colonial architecture and history through the buildings themselves, not just walk past them — the churches are the story, and the food tastings ground it in the city's everyday life. The walk covers cobblestones and involves climbing, so plan for steady legs and comfortable shoes.Free cancellationTravelers' pickfromUS$ 41View ›

‹
3 Hours Local Food Tour in Quito: Huecas Street Eating★★★★★★★★★★ 5.00 (114)3hA 3-hour guided food tour in Quito that takes you into huecas—family-owned eateries where locals eat—to taste dishes and hear the stories behind them straight from the people who cook. The guide leads a small group on foot through neighborhoods where the food is real and the payment goes directly to the kitchen, building an understanding of Quito's culture through what people actually eat every day.Is it for me?You order and pay at each stop as you go, which means you're learning to navigate Quito's food culture the way someone who lives here does—making real choices instead of following a preset menu. This suits anyone who wants to eat like a local and understand a place through the people who feed it, rather than collect a tasting experience.Free cancellationKids −37%fromUS$ 38View ›
