Shopping in the colonial city

Get ready for a tour full of colors, tradition and culture! During this free tour , we will take you to the best corners of the Historic Center of Quito so you can find the perfect souvenirs, those special gifts or that detail you were missing before returning home.

🌎 On this tour you will discover an incredible variety of authentic handicrafts, carefully made by talented artisans from different communities in Ecuador. You can choose between products made with straw, alpaca wool, clay, wood and even precious metals, each with its own history and meaning.
