5.00I ended up switching tours, so I can't speak specifically to this one. However, I can definitely endorse David; he was energetic, full of interesting information, very friendly, and obviously flexible (given that he allowed us to change the tour). He was also able to find a restaurant with pescatarian options for my spouse, which was great. Highly recommended! He also owns+operates a business called ecuadorianguide so we'd recommend finding more info there.
Fabulous day with excellent guide!

5.00We had a tremendous experience with David, who gave us a beautiful tour of the old town complete with interesting historical background, showing us aspects of historical, political, religious, and artistic history. The Teleferico and swing were fantastic (and we pet some llamas), and he was cautious and patient with our different needs to adjust to the altitude. After that, it was off to the actual Equator. David was engaging, thoughtful, and conscience of our needs, offering water and constantly checking in to make sure we were ok at every point. Can’t recommend him highly enough! But be prepared to pay entrance fees to all of the different attractions, those are not included in the tour price.
Best Way to Experience Quito!!

5.00We had a great time with David! He was friendly and extremely informative. The detailed information was helpful in gaining a better understanding of Ecuador and Quito's history. It was a private tour, and he was receptive to our preferences and tailored the tour based on our needs. His expertise gave us additional insights we wouldn't have otherwise known about. He also provide great photo and shopping opportunities for one of a kind souvenirs. Highly recommend this comprehensive tour!
Excellent trip!

5.00This tour was a great way to see the best parts of Quito. The Unesco world heritage old city was very interesting. Then the cable car with its magnificent 360 city views and the middle of the earth tour was a lot of fun. David our guide recommended a wonderful local restaurant with great food for lunch. He was an amazing guide and very knowledgeable about his city.
Rich in information, pleasant and relaxed. It was amazing!
