Quito after-dark street food tour

This was one of my favorite experiences in Quito. Santi is incredibly engaging, artistic, and genuinely passionate about sharing his city. If you’re interested in culture, street art, local stories, and hidden gems, this tour is outstanding. I especially loved exploring La Floresta, discovering the murals and galleries, and ending the evening on the gallery’s rooftop terrace with a beautiful sunset view over the city. It felt authentic, creative, and thoughtfully curated. As for the review saying it wasn’t a food tour—I think they simply didn’t read the tour description. It’s clearly centered around art, culture, and the neighborhood, with regional bites as part of the experience, not a multi-stop foodie crawl. Highly recommend this tour if you’re looking for something beyond the typical sightseeing itinerary. Santi made the evening memorable.

Pamela's local knowledge of street art and the local food scene was amazing, she took me to some delicious places and we tried some excellent dishes. Highlight was the Corviche!

I enjoyed walking through La floreasta looking at the graffiti and being taken to a shop selling pictures but I don’t appreciate this being a sales pitch. Also tackling it a foodie trip is cutting it a bit fine!! Went to three food cafes all we had was yuca done in three different ways - a sausage and this was based on the tour guides predilections - he loved his food grabbed food , ate quickly questioned my eating, this was certainly not worth the money. And there was only one cocktail which was nice in a cute cafe. And having to wait for Ubers in the pouring rain. And no other attendees only me. It was quite frankly awful!!

We really enjoyed the knowledge of our guide. He introduced the local culture and food to us. We had great evening.

Wonderful evening. Santiago was extremely engaging, knowledgeable and eager to share this special Quito neighborhood. We loved the street murals and gallery visit as well as the delicious regional bites. Santiago’s extensive travel experience reflects a compassion and perspective beyond his years. We highly recommend this tour.

Santiago was a fabulous guide. He explained the history and culture of Ecuador in great detail and ensured we had an understanding of the artistic works in the area. He was knowledgeable and very fun to spend the evening with. The food was incredible as well as the drinks. It was an all around great experience.

The tour of the La Floresta street art was interesting and the food was mostly very good. Indeed, the tamales we had were some of the best. But on the whole, the tour is way overpriced. The total cost of the food could not have been more than $15 per person. We were offered beer or water at the art gallery but no beverages with any of the food. I can't recommend this tour.

Great food and interesting street art. He tailored our meals to our dietary needs (no red meat) and it was fun to eat with the locals without a tourist in sight. My only negative is that it's expensive for 2.5 hours and street food.

Best tour! My husband and I visited Quito on our way to Galapagos for our honeymoon. Santiago hosted us for a great walking, food, art, and cocktail tour. His passion for the city and culture really made an impact on us and we can’t wait to visit again!

Santiago introduced me to delicious local foods in unique locations. We were in the Floresta neighborhood of Quito which is full of great street art. We also visited a fun art gallery. Santiago is very knowledgeable about many subjects. We finished the night with a glass of warm wine, a local custom.
