5.00Daniel easily flexed the itinerary for our day after hearing the previous visits we’d made. The day ended up perfect for us, seeing the key sights we hadn’t seen and including allowing for a little shopping time!
Must do!

5.00Daniel was a great guide. He explained the history of the area and the significance of the buildings and monuments visited. Because the cable car was fogged in, he recommended a side trip to a hummingbird sanctuary which was fabulous, even in the pouring rain!

5.00This tour was everything that was promised. Daniel spoke perfect english and was very informative, flexible and a lot of fun. He took us to a wonderful place for lunch. Just be advised to bring a bunch of small bills, ones & fives to pay the entrance fee for the churches and basilica. Some of them do not have change or take credit cards.
All the main sights

5.00We really enjoy our trip thanks to the passion, knowledge and friendlies of the lovely Christian. It was really busy in Quito post new year and Christian guided us around so well. He gave advice on what to do so we could complete our tour. He was extremely patient when we had to queue for a long time to take the teleferico. It was so busy! The tour content was very good and we saw a lot.
