Description

Good to Know

What sets this experience apart is Ecuador itself, one of the most biodiverse fruit regions on Earth, where the Andes and Amazon converge. You won’t just taste unusual flavors; you’ll uncover the living heritage of farmers, healers, and families who have relied on these fruits for centuries. Unlike typical food tours, this journey reveals ancestral uses, seasonal rhythms, and the surprising ways fruits shape medicine, rituals, and everyday life. Each group is intentionally small (max 8) to keep the tasting intimate, and seasonal harvests mean no two experiences are ever the same. Many travelers call it the most colorful and eye-opening highlight of their Quito trip, and with our 5-Star Experience Guarantee (full refund if it’s anything less), you can book with total peace of mind

Photos and stories to take home with you

Cultural insights, nutritional info & fun facts

Optional Market tour!

Local guide fluent in English (and passionate about fruit!)

Snacks

Guided tasting of 15+ tropical and native Mexican fruits

Any other fruit, food or drink outside the tasting you would like to buy for your own.

Step into Quito’s vibrant markets, where stalls overflow with colors and aromas you won’t find back home — cacao pods cracked open, golden naranjilla piled high, and locals buzzing with morning energy. Meet your friendly Ecuadorian guide, a true fruit lover, who introduces you to 15–20 exotic varieties. From sweet to tangy, creamy to earthy, you’ll learn how each fruit is grown, when it’s in season, and the cultural stories that keep traditions alive. Taste your way through samples like velvety caimito, zesty passionfruit, and caramel-like mamey sapote. Discover ancestral uses for healing, fun preparation tips, and insider tricks on how locals enjoy them, with chili, lime, or straight from the peel. End the experience with a deeper connection to Ecuador’s biodiversity, your taste buds awakened by flavors you’ll never forget. Small groups ensure intimacy, and spots fill fast, so reserve today to secure your place in Quito’s most colorful tasting journey.

Walking food tour

Overall really nice enjoyable tour! Good information and yummy food, my fingers did get a little sticky but nothing a little hand sanitizer couldn’t help with! The streets were easy to walk through, granted our group was rather small just 5 of us total. We tried at least 10 different foods including meringue, candies, fritata and more! I would definitely do this tour again!

Thank you for joining us! 😋 We’re glad you enjoyed exploring Ecuador through such a wide variety of local sweets, snacks, and flavors. Trying foods you might not otherwise encounter is a big part of the fun, sticky fingers included! We’re especially happy you enjoyed the small-group atmosphere and would happily do it again. Cheers, Maira from Cook in Fiesta

Wonderful experience!

Awesome experience getting to explore the food scene of Ecuador. This was basically our first stop getting off the plane and it was a great introduction of Quito. This would be a great tour for a solo traveller, couple or group! The group size was very personable and comfortable. Our guide Paul was awesome and so much local knowledge and insight. The 2 hours was a perfect amount of time. 10/10 recommended!!
