Overview

Join us on a vibrant shopping tour through Quito’s Historic Centre, where tradition and creativity come alive. This free walking tour takes you to local artisan markets and shops where every item tells a story—from toquilla-straw hats to detailed Andean embroidery, clay pottery, wood carvings, and exquisite filigree jewelry.

You’ll meet talented artisans from across Ecuador whose crafts reflect generations of skill and culture. Whether it’s a Montecristi hat, a hand-woven poncho, or a delicate metalwork piece, each find connects you to a heritage preserved in texture, form, and color.

Ahead of your visit, we’ll share tips for bargaining respectfully and choosing items with deeper meaning. Bring cash so you can support local makers directly. Leave not just with souvenirs—but with memories of the people and traditions behind them.

Get ready for a shopping experience that’s authentic, colorful, and full of heart in one of the city’s most enchanting neighborhoods
