Experience the best of
Quito with Withlocals

"We had an awesome day with Cristian. He introduced us to a variety of fruits and local fare and some very traditional items. It was a delight to spend an afternoon with him. Bring your appetite!"

"We had a lovely day with Cristian. He is pleasant, has a good command of the English language and is a wealth of information. He would gives us an overview and then he left it up to us ask specific questions, which we really enjoyed."

"We had an amazing time with Cristian eating our way across Quito. We would never have experienced the wide variety of excellent local dishes on our own. Cristian was knowledgeable about the history of the ingredients, cooking techniques, and general history of Quito. We were very pleased we booked this tour!"

"Cristian gave us so much more than just a food tour. He pointed out several landmarks, cultural points, and explained many interesting things about the area. We sampled lots of Ecuadorian foods and had many different stops. Cristian was a great guide! We highly recommend him! "

"Cristian was super knowledgeable not only about food, but also about the historial aspect of Quito. The food tour was amazing, everything was delicious and Cristian really made us feel looked after with our dietary restrictions. If you’re thinking of going to Quito definitely book this tour with Cristian, you won’t regret it. "

"We had a fantastic food tour with Cristian. He is incredibly knowledgeable and will give you opportunities to taste some of the best local foods you may not find on your own as a tourist. As a cook himself, he is very particular and has put together a great tour of wonderful tastings. Hint: come hungry! You may want to have a very small breakfast before joining him for 3 hours of tasty delights. "

"Christian was very accommodating despite us being late to the party. He clearly loves his city and knows about all the right places to explore and makes it a point to explore the various locations. For me the highlight was a visit to a local place with many city-ethnic stands. I loved the smoked tripe and fritada. And we went to lunch the next day to sample again the best locra I had in Ecuador. "

"Cristian is very accomodating, friendly and helpful host, who reacts flexibly to his guests' preferences. His food tour is well thought out and went absolutely smoothly - except for the beginning, when my wife and I lost each other before meeting him. In the end, the tour started about an hour late, but he did not cut it short anyway. On foot and by taxi we visited several place that all were interesting for both the food and the ambiance - some touristy, some seemingly visit only by locals. Cristian has worked as a chef, so he clearly knows what he is talking about. Food and drinks ranged from absolutely delicious to somewhat challenging, all dishes were not like anything we would be able to find at home - exactly what we hope for in a food tour! As this is a totally private tour, the price is a bit higher than some other tours but in our view completely worth it."

"Cristian was an amazing tour guide. His English is perfect, well educated and has a great demeanor. His knowledge about the history and culture made our experience better than just a food tour. He was flexible with what we wanted to see and eat. He went far and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. Thank you so much Cristian!!!"

"We had a very nice tour with Christian. It was just the right balance of seeing historical sites and trying local foods. "
