Fun walking tour

Melissa_L, Dec 2024
We did the Street Food Tour in Cuenca with Diego. He's very informative and fun. We tried some food and drinks that we would not have otherwise. The tour took us to lots of places around central Cuenca including one of the markets. We recommend the tour and the excellent guide, Diego.

Lots of history and great foods.

The tour was excellent. Christian is the best tour guide. A wealth of knowledge and facts about the entire country as well. The foods we tried were never questionable. Simply delicious and as a suggestion, begin this tour ready to eat.

Spend a few hours to experience Ecuador food and culture with a professional and informative guide...

It's the best way to learn about the local food scene and culture. I had a wonderful experience with my guide Edi who answered all my questions. He was punctual and professional in handling the tour. I enjoyed tasting a variety of Ecuadorian food with insight to the origins of the cuisine.
