5.00On my first full day in Quito, Pato picked me up promptly from my hotel. He connected with me through WhatsApp prior, to share what I needed to bring. Pato brought enthusiasm to the the day by sharing historical, geographical, and cultural stories pertaining to Quito and the surrounding areas. Each site was thoroughly explored and enjoyed! The restaurant chosen was excellent with local foods and ambiance. We talked easily throughout the day - felt like I was with a friend! I would not hesitate to recommend Ecuador a Color's City Tour with Pato as the guide! Melinda from Ontario Canada

5.00Milton was a very good guide and the driver was very good as well. You can customize this tour, which was great. We had just been to the equator 3 months prviously in Kenya, so we should have skipped the Middle of the World. But if it is your first time definely do it! The historical city has wonderful architure and is very lively! We were there on a Sunday, so were able to experience some church rituals and activity on the plaza. We even tried the meto, which was surprizingly good! We enjoyed the Botanical Gardens and Milton was very knowledgable about the plants, especially the orchids!
Fabulous experience in Quito!

A Unique and Personal Tour of Quito

5.00We were looking for a tour that we could customize, and this one worked out perfectly. Our tour guide, Pato, listened to what we wanted, shared some of his ideas, and we came up with exactly the tour for the day that was perfect for us. In addition to visiting the old downtown, the gondola which included a light meal and swinging in the clouds at 13,000 feet, touring the Basilica and then the most spectacular bird sanctuary that we had ever seen, several personal favourites of his own were added. One unique thing was touring a local fruit and vegetable market, where our guide brought his own knife and cut open some of the unique fruit that we would never see in Canada. We were able to taste several delicious fruits that were from Ecuador farms. He also recommended a restaurant called La Vid which was absolutely outstanding, in the Market Square. We were thoroughly impressed overall and would highly recommend this tour to others and Pato as a guide in particular.
We had an amazing day...

5.00We had an amazing day exploring Quito with our guide, Pato! Our itinerary included the TelefériQo, the Basilica del Voto Nacional, Quito’s Old Town, and the Intiñan Equator Museum. Pato was fantastic from start to finish—super friendly, fun to be around, and incredibly knowledgeable about the history and culture of the area. He shared so many interesting stories and details that we never would have learned on our own, and he made every stop engaging and memorable. From the stunning views at the TelefériQo to walking through the historic streets of Old Town and visiting the Equator, everything was perfectly paced and enjoyable. If you’re visiting Quito, I highly recommend touring with Pato. He truly made the experience special and unforgettable!
A Fantastic Private Tour of Quito with an Exceptional Guide, Patricio (Pato)

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Our private and personalized tour of Quito with Patricio (Pato) was truly an exceptional experience. From the very beginning, Pato demonstrated incredible knowledge about the history, culture, and traditions of the city. His explanations were detailed, engaging, and easy to understand, which made every stop even more meaningful. Visiting TelefériQo was breathtaking, and Pato made sure we had enough time to enjoy the views while also sharing interesting facts about the surrounding volcanoes and geography. Our visit to Middle of the World Monument was equally fascinating, as he explained the science and history behind the equator in such an entertaining way. Pato was professional, friendly, and very attentive throughout the entire day. He made the tour feel relaxed and personalized, always making sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment. His passion for Quito and for guiding visitors truly shows. Highly recommended!

5.00We had a delightful day with Galindo. We visited the Center of the World, went on a cable car ride up the mountain, toured the Quito Basilica, and walked through old town and some beautiful churches. Galindo booked a delicious lunch with Ecadorian favorites looking out on the town square with the large statue of the Blessed Mother watching from atop the hill. Our tour ended with a chocolate shop visit. The day couldn’t have been better.
