I had the opportunity to have this experience back in late 2024, before it has been offered on this page. It's something that I can fully recommend. The tour itself is worth it to anyone who wants to get to know the city center. Also don't underestimate the sensation of trying all the different types of chocolate. It's wild how different it can taste, based on where the cocoa was grown. It comes with lots of background information on chocolate in general. And if anyone would know, it's Ecuadorians!
really enjoyed the tour. The way everything was explained was very informative and interesting. I was also treated very well, and I truly hope to visit again soon. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a pleasant day in Quito surrounded by a cozy, historic atmosphere.
