What people love about Food & Culinary Tours in South America
- The best of Quito and surroundings
We had an amazing time exploring Quito and the surrounding area. Our tour package included a walking tour of historic Quito, a day in the cloud forest around Mindo, a day in the Cotopaxi National Park, a visit to the teleferico and Mitad del Mundi, and Papallacta for the hot springs. Our guide Omar Carrera accompanied us on all these excursions and was an excellent guide and driver. We had many laughs with him, traded stories, and learned a great deal about the history and current state of the Ecuador region. While in Quito, we also decided to book an extra trip to Otavelo and Cotacachi for some shopping. Rolly drove and accompanied us there and was a delight to spend time with. Such beautiful countryside and things to see! Tour arrangements were made through Claudia the travel planner and everything was well organized and communicated with a personal and thoughtful touch. We couldn’t be happier with this experience! Thanks Claudia, Rolly and Omar for an unforgettable time in Quito ?
- Peruvian Gastro Tour
This was an amazing tour we had a great time and all of the tour guides were amazing. The food was great throughout the whole tour. Only downside was the accommodations in Cusco we stayed at the Hilton garden inn and while the hotel is a great hotel with awesome views, the views come with a harsh upwards climb (stairs and walkways) to get back up to the hotel if you go to the main plaza. It would have been better to stay a little closer to the main plaza center. Other then that I would definitely recomend this tour to my family and friends if they ever want to travel to Peru. Thanks for an amazing experience.
- Cafe Colombia
Colombia is just the most beautiful country, and it's beauty was only heightened by our passionate guide. She was a great advocate for her country and Intrepid. We stayed in boutique, locally owned accommodation in the best locations, ate like kings and really experienced the diversity of this country and its people. If you haven't been to Colombia, I couldn't recommend this trip more highly.
