Quito guide with Ricky

5.00Ricky is one of best guys to do this with.. we had very short amount of time. He took us to the most important part of Quito, gave us a lot of history about the country and city. He is extremely knowledgeable. He took care of us very well and we were able to see everything we wanted to see in a short amount of time we had.. thanks to Ricky.
One of a kind scenery!

5.00This was a great experience! Well worth the money and Ricky was truly incredible. He is very knowledgeable about everything with Ecuador and he took us to all the best spots! I would truly recommend this to anyone. The views from the top of the cable cars is truly one of a kind!

5.00Pamela and Rickie were awesome. Very professional and very friendly. They tailored the trip to the things that we wanted to see and moved at an enjoyable pace. We hiked to the waterfall, fed the humming birds and butterflies, and had a nice lunch. They’re very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna of the area, as well as the points of interest. Rickie is a great driver, which is a must for the long winding drive to Mindo and back. We highly recommend Pamela and Rickie for this tour.
It was just what we were looking for.

Everything we could want in a tour

5.00Because we were staying in the heart of Quito's Old Town, my friend and I decided that we wanted a guide to help us explore some areas outside the city, especially the Middle of the Earth complex and the Teleferico. We were so fortunate that Viator linked us with Pamela Rivadeneira, who proved to be our ideal guide -- knowledgeable, fluent in English, and exuding a genuine warmth that went beyond the hospitality we learned to expect in Ecuador. Pamela listened to us, paying attention and care to our particular interests, so much so that we booked her services for two additional days. Our tours with her weren't just private; they were truly personal.
Great day in Quito. Great experience

5.00Friendliness, flexibility and good treatment. Even though I changed the itinerary for extraneous reasons, they took me to others without inconvenience. I finally met more places. They accommodated my schedule perfectly: "it was great."
Great tour of Quito highlights

5.00Our guide Ricky was so friendly and knowledgeable. We had a fun and relaxed time with history, culture and science thrown in. The views from the cable car are awesome and we practised some yiga breathing to overcome the altitude. Both the historical and actual middle of the world places are fun lovely meal with a great view and the conversation great.
Anytime again

5.00We were traveling together with the wonderful Pamela in Quito and went to Mitad del Mundo at the end. Pamela organized the day very well. We were out on a very sunny Sunday, during the holiday season. She has also asked several times about our well-being (height can get to you quickly) and designed the tour entirely according to our needs and was therefore always flexible. She could tell us a lot about the culture and customs. She also took many photos and videos of the tour, which she later shared with us.
Great, Personalized Care

5.00Great, personalized care from Ricky. He opened doors, gave history lessons, and allowed me to take my time during climbs at high elevation. Would absolutely recommend. 10/10
