Great start to our time in Quito. Very knowledgeable tour guide and we learnt a lot about the history and culture of Quito and Ecuador. The chocolate tasting at the end was an amazing bonus. Can recommend the tour to everyone to get insights into Quito.
I would recommend this to anyone who comes to Quito. It was the most personal, entertaining, interesting and fun walking tour!
Tefa was a brilliant guide. Knowledgeable, informative, engaging, varied topics, passionate about her town and country. The food stops along the way were great and didn’t feel pressured to purchase.
If you are planning a trip to Quito, stop searching immediately and book your tour with Tefa. She is, without a doubt, the most incredible tour guide we have ever had and truly the person you need to show you the heart of this spectacular city. Tefa did more than just guide us; she brought Quito's history and vibrant culture to life. She showed us everything—from hidden architectural gems to the grandest historical squares—all while sharing her amazing personality, which is full of warmth, humor, and genuine passion. Her knowledge is vast, but her delivery makes every fact feel personal and engaging. The absolute highlight of the day was the curated tasting tour. Tefa knows the best local spots, treating us to three unforgettable culinary stops. We indulged in delicious gourmet chocolate (a must-try experience!), sampled local artisanal alcohol, and enjoyed the most authentic, unique ice cream the city has to offer. These moments weren't just about food; they were a perfect blend of culture and flavor, thanks entirely to her thoughtful planning. Tefa is professional, kind, and genuinely invested in ensuring you have a perfect day. If you want an amazing tour guide and the best local experience in Quito, Tefa is the name you need to remember. She made our trip truly unforgettable!
Very good tour with food tasting and cultural part. Tefa was excellent guide.
Tefa has a wide knowledge about the city and answered all our questions. As we were doing the tour with our kids, she especially made it entertaining and very suitable for the kids.
Oskar was nice and showed us some good food spots. He always take care of our wishes.
Our experience with Tefa was great!!, very friendly and professional, 100% recomendable
It was just the two of us and felt very private. Our guide is charming and very knowledgeable able. It was relaxing and entertaining,
Tefa was amazing!! We had such a great time on our walking tour - she covered lots of Ecuadorian history, showed us all the sights in the historical district, and brought us to try chocolate, liquor, ice cream, and candy. Spent around 3.5 hours on the tour but it didn’t feel long at all! I would highly highly recommend this tour!!
Oscar really gave us a great insight in Quito amd Ecuador, was very knowledgeable about food and history and overal just very attentive and friendly.
Oscar is very friendly and professional, would recommend to anyone wanting to see and taste a bit of Quito
Loved it! Great tour, great tastings. Tefia shared a wealth of knowledge in a really engaging way and gave great restaurant recommendations too
Oscar was an excellent guide, and the tour was the perfect balance of information, sight seeing, and food experiences. It was a great way to see the historic center of Quito.
Fantastic tour! Mix of culture, food, architecture and politics plus more! Very knowledgeable of the area, including history and recommendations on where to eat or visit
You cannot do better than this tour for Quito. I have done a lot of walking tours, but this one is probably the best I've ever done. There was history, culture, chocolate tastings, ice cream tastings, alcohol tastings, ecuadorian food tastings... we walked all over the historic centre, and Tefa was fantastic at every turn. She even gave us advise on the metro and the best place to obtain a SIM card. Absolutely thrilled I spent my first day in Quito on this tour ❤️
Wonderful tour! I learned a lot and got to try some yummy chocolate and snacks! Tefa is an amazing, knowledgeable guide!
Oscar was a wonderful tour guide! He took us through old town Quito and shared his knowledge of architecture, art, food, and the local environment, culture, and economy of Ecuador. We especially loved all the food/drink experiences that were included, such as trying the Canelas drink for the first time, tasting Pristiños and new flavors of ice cream, and guessing the flavors of delicious cocoa at Yumbos Chocolate. He was a great guide who took time to get to know us and give us a great experience walking around Quito. Highly recommend Oscar for experiencing the city of Quito in just a few hours!
Tefa has that wonderful combo of being very knowledgeable and entertaining, and is well connected with people within the city. The tastings were incredible and offered a different perspective of the city, and she had many recommendations for places we could eat and visit afterwards. Tefa had a great knowledge of the social, historical, and cultural aspects of Quito and created great context to many of the things that we were seeing in the city. I've done a lot of walking tours and this is honestly one of the best I've ever had. Thanks so much Tefa!
Tefa is a very knowledgeable GuruWalker and answers questions with genuine enthusiasm. I enjoyed many tasty free samples and stops at scenic spots around the city. She also shared tons of helpful tips for continuing travels through Ecuador. Highly recommended.
Had a nice tour of historic old town Quito with Tefa. Learned lots of information about Quito and it's history, and also got to sample various foods and drinks along the way. Would recommend!
What a fun tour! It was a bit of everything! The tastings were of great quality and totally free (although the things we tried we're so good that we always ended up buying extras at cheap prices!). The tour was super informative and fun. I would totally recommend it!!!
Tefa was an AMAZING guide. She was so knowledgeable. We booked a very last minute tour and ended up being the only guests. She was very friendly and taught us so much about Ecuador. We have done many walking tours around the world and hers was so thorough, informing and well planned. Highly recommend Tefa! We would absolutely use her again in the future.
Superschöne Tour durch Quito mit viel Gelegenheit zu essen :) Sie hat ca 4 Stunden gedauert.
Stefanya was very knowledgeable, friendly and personalised the trip to suit everyone's needs. She ensured I got a taxi to the right place at the right price at the end of the tour.
