Best tour in Quito!
Lynn_M, 14-03-2022
My friend and I had such a great time with Angela and Jamie!! They were the best guides, very personable and easy to spend time with. We enjoyed the local sites, such as the Virgin of Panecillo and Inglesia de San Francisco. The cooking class with Chef Francisco was the highlight of the day, followed closely with the visit to Pacari Chocolate cafe for some hot chocolate! The chocolate tasting at Yumbos Chocolate was also fantastic and informative on the chocolate making process. We wish we could have stayed longer in Quito - 5 days was not enough! Would love to do a tour again with Angela and Jamie too! Oh, and we went back to Santhorno Empanadas (Chef Francisco's restaurant) to try the empanadas and they were fantastic!
Outstanding in every way! Five Stars!

Angela and Jamie gave us a day to remember! They were fantastic hosts and their love of Quito was well apparent. We enjoyed every minute of our tour and learned a huge amount about Ecuador history, culture and cuisine. We would highly recommend this tour!!
An UNFORGETTABLE tour of Ecuador with Angela and Jamie.

We've just returned from an AMAZING 10-day tour of Ecuador with Angela and Jamie. They are fantastic tour guides and we enjoyed every single moment with them.

They are knowledgeable, interesting and fun to be with. They are easy-going courteous and flexible: they tailor the tour to their customers and give perfect advises for attractions, restaurants, and shopping.

Their service is impeccable: I contacted them long before our tour by email and always got quick and detailed answers which helped me in planning our trip.

We were sorry when our tour ended and we feel like family with them.

When you think of visiting Ecuador - don't hesitate and take Angela and Jamie as your guides. You'll have a perfect experience
Tour History and Flavors of Ecuador
Darnell H, 28-07-2018
During our trip to Quito, we had booked the Flavors of Ecuador. From the moment we were picked up at our hotel until the end of the trip, the journey was incredibly personable and insightful. Jaime and Angela gave us a great overview of the ciity, its people, and the culture. This trip should be a must do for any visitor traveling to and through Ecuador. Afterwards, you’ll have a deeper appreciation for the Quito.
