Description
Good to Know
This tour offers a completely different way to experience Quito—beyond traditional sightseeing. Instead of just visiting landmarks, you’ll connect with the city through its urban art, local flavors, and creative neighborhoods.
What makes it special is the balance between culture, gastronomy, and storytelling. You’ll walk through La Mariscal and La Floresta with a local guide who brings each mural, market, café, and hidden corner to life with context and meaning.
You’ll discover authentic places most travelers miss: artisan markets, independent cinemas, bohemian streets, and contemporary art spaces—ending with a high-quality Ecuadorian chocolate tasting.
It’s an immersive, small-group experience designed for travelers who want to feel Quito, not just see it.
Carbonated beverages
Soft drink at the Ocho y Medio Cinema café, a cozy cultural space in La Floresta, perfect for a refreshing break during your experience.
Visit to La Mariscal Artisan Market
Visit to Santa Teresita Church (neo-Gothic landmark)

Off the beaten track in Quito
Really enjoyed this tour. It was a cool little experience that felt genuinely off the beaten track, with lots of interesting murals and local history that I probably wouldn’t have discovered otherwise.
