The perfect start to our trip! Everyone was wonderful and we learned so much about Ecuador and the food native to the land. Our lunch was phenomenal and it was such a unique experience with very knowledgeable and kind people. Highly recommend! Learned so many new ways to elevate our cooking at home.

We really enjoyed our food tour of Quito with Andreas. He picked us up at the hotel and took us from place to place while explaining the rich and tasty culture of Ecuadorian food. He took the time to explain the nuances of each cuisine and at the same time we really enjoyed the tour of Old Town Quito. We would definitely recommend this tour. Total time was just under 5 hours.

What an amazing and wonderful experience. Shopping for the food in the market and then returning to their location to prep and cook the food. Highly recommended for such a unique experience.

If 6 stars were available, this would be our rating! A really fun, informative and hands-on experience, starting with visiting the Quito market to get some of the ingredients. Down to earth, mainline Ecuadorian cuisine, hosted by a super friendly family in Quito’s Old Town area. Do this!!

We had a wonderful afternoon shopping at the Central Market with Andreas followed by a cooking class with Magola and Sylvia. We cooked authentic Ecuadorian foods, many made with fruits and vegetables unique to Ecuador. We learned special techniques for making these tasty recipes and look forward to trying them when we return home. Our chefs were amazing; so welcoming and knowledgeable.

Beautiful people showing us how to make delicious food. Not complicated, I’m not a big cook myself, but really enjoyed the whole experience. Short tour of fresh market was great, amazing smells and sights. Then to a small kitchen to make potato soup, ceviche, and taste various fruits and drinks. Excellent. Good English if you’re concerned. Highly recommend for a few hours of fun, and full meal.

Andre the operator owner could not have been more accommodating and helpful in some special attention we asked for. His willingness to attend to our ever need was never questioned. If you are considering a special culinary experience and adventure I'd recommend his tour. You won't go wrong. Was a pleasure working with is company.

Awesome Friendly Knowledgeable Flexible Educational I feel like I totally understand Ecuador culture and economics

We really enjoyed the market tour, where we got to try many of Ecuador’s unique fruits. The recipes were simple, but it was interesting to see how meals were cooked based on Ecuadorian culture. Their English was very good, and they were all so nice

The market tour was very informational but the cooking experience was the best part. The ladies who host the cooking portion are lovely and knowledgeable about the culture and cuisine. The food was also very tasty.

I had an incredible experience with the Cooking Class and Market Tour in Ecuador! Magola and Silvia were fantastic hosts, creating a relaxed atmosphere with upbeat music while maintaining a spotless kitchen. We were hands-on in every step, snacking on delicious treats and immersing ourselves in Ecuadorian culture. The market tour, led by Andres, was equally amazing—he shared fascinating insights into the market and local foods. This is a must-do experience for anyone looking to explore Ecuador’s culinary traditions!

Great Experience! Wonderful group of people who just enjoy playing the game! Ok if you are a novice too. Courts are well lighted & maintained! Fun Evening!

Amazing cooking class! Made delicious Ecuadorian dishes including my favorite Shrimp ceviche & traditional potato soup! Enjoyed the entire meal afterwards in a beautiful patio setting.

Amazing cooking class. Enjoyed many of the delicious traditional Ecuadorian dishes including my favorite shrimp ceviche & potato soup.

Excellent tour of markets and a few bonus points. Galapagos Connoisseur LLC did a wonderful job. We were picked up on time at our Hotel. Our guide, Gean Pierre was most attentive to what we wanted to do on the day tour. We got everything accomplished and never felt rushed. The time in the car was filled with information on a wide range of subjects that came to mind. Our brief time in Quito was really enhanced by going to these markets. We walked away with travel treasures that would otherwise not be found. Thanks so much Gean for your knowledge and support.
