Streetfood-Tour in Cuenca, EcuadorE

The tour was very interesting and informative. Flavio the tour guide was knowledgeable, professional and very personable. It was a pleasure to work with him.

This is the perfect trip if you want to get introduced to Cuenca by a local. I got multiple snacks and was totally impressed with Edson and his professionalism. It is a great tour around Centro Historico!

This was great tour. Cristian was a great guide! The food he had us eating was amazing!I highly recommend this tour!

It was very nice. We tried many different Snacks like Tortillas, drinks, chocolates etc. And we also knew the city. I can recommend it!

What a fun tour. Delicious food, friendly and knowledgeable guide. The pace was perfect and we had the opportunity to stop at little shops as we went. I would do the same tour again!

Tuvimos una EXCELENTE gira y experiencia con Flavio. Flavio mostró conocimiento profundo de la ciudad y su cultura, y nos hizo sentir bienvenidos. We had an EXCELLENT tour of the city with Flavio. Flavio exhibited profound knowledge and passion for the city and its culture. Very importantly, Flavio made us feel welcome and at home.

FINALLY. Cuenca has an authentic French restaurant. Others, at best, are copies of French cooking that does not evoke and memories of traditional France. They merely use French names. They are not necessarily bad, but certainly not French. I am French from Quebec and, like all of us, a foodie. I have spend many years in France The place is newly opened, owned and operated by a handsome Frenchman from Orléans (where Joan of Arc came from). It is decorated in a style that is indistinguishable from 1000s of France restaurants, and the view from the windows on El Centro (the old city) compliments that. I began with a foie gras...nicely prepared and served with garnishes. (a first for Cuenca or Ecuador for that matter). Very pleased. I continued with an exceptional (and large) plate of grilled octopus ersillade, a favorite of mine. Best I have had here in 15 years. I finished with a Tarte Tatin (the legendary French dessert) and expresso allongé. My companion had a Magret of Duck, sliced and pretty and ended with profiterolles I am going back tomorrow with my wife. I shall take photos.

Edison was very accommodating by changing the day because it was raining heavily at our appointed time. However, he arrived on time, agreed on a different time, kindly dropped us off at a different destination, & met us the following day. He’s very knowledgeable about the history of and customs of Cuenca and Ecuador, of the city, and the best places to procure Cuenca foods. He was full of information about all the questions we had. It was a joy to spend time with him.

My husband, daughter and I did an evening tour with Cris and had such a great time. We got to learn a lot about Cuenca’s history and culture alongside the delicious food. We liked that we got to choose the amount of food we’d get, so we didn’t feel overloaded at the end. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about Cuenca. Cris was easy to talk to and had helpful suggestions for things to do beyond the tour as well.

We had an excellent tour with Christian trying a variety of street fits and hearing about the culture and history of some of El Centro in Cuenca. Christian was very personable and knowledgeable. We highly recommend this tour with him.
