5.00Jonathan was an amazing guide. Very knowledgeable and personable. We learned so much about the city of Quito and enjoyed the little challenges along the way. We weren’t able to do the cable car because of bad weather, but Jonathan more than made up for it and took us to see a volcano and we got some amazing views. I definitely recommend.
Amazing experience

5.00Very well planned, but at the same time didn't feel pressured. Our tour guide Jessica and driver Havier were super amazing. Loved everything from beginning to the end.

5.00We had half day to explore the main attractions of Quito. Eduardo ,our guide, offered as a unique experience. He was really to the point with a lot of information about everything. He could answered any question. We suggest this tour unreservedly.

5.00Love, the fact that it was customizable. Our guide moved some things around because of times that churches and cathedrals were closed for services so that we could get to all the things that we wanted to see.
Great day!

5.00This is a full day and worth every minute. Jonathan was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. We walked around old town and he described so many statues and architecture in great detail. We went to the equator, basilica and a view of the volcano crater. Weather was a bit tricky but he pivoted nicely. We had empanadas for lunch and he gave us recommendations for other places to visit and eat. Great day! Thank you Jonathan.
Best honeymoon tour

5.00Jonathan and James were absolutely amazing! Jonathan knew absolutely everything there is to know about Quito and made it SO fun and interesting. They gave us the very best day. We covered the cable car, old town (including the Basilica) and the equator and they had an amazing lunch filled with local food!!! Couldn’t recommend them enough!
Quito tour - Grace as a guide

5.00Grace has undoubtedly been one of the most professional guides we have had on all our travels. Not only did he explain everything to us with incredible passion, dedication and enthusiasm, but he also showed himself to have impressive knowledge about every detail. You can tell that you love what you do: transmit, connect and turn the experience into something much more special. He is a person with a lot of information, but also with a warmth and dedication that make a difference. It definitely deserves five stars. We would recommend it again and again without thinking.
A nice overview of Quito

5.00Milton and our driver were prepared. He was there promptly at 9, and we went to the top of the volcano on the Teleferico - the gondola. Great vistas. Milton was so smart to take us there first thing. When we came back down, the line was getting very long, and the extended wait would have been very annoying. We explored the old town. One comment on that, it would have been nice to know that we were doing that so we could have brought along a hat and water. So, if he explained what was next on the agenda, we could be more prepared. Our tour of the Equator was great, and Milton knew lots of interesting things to share with us. He had pre-selected a place for lunch, and again, a little bit more explanation of the menu would have helped. On the whole, we had a delightful day and learned quite a bit about the culture and symbolism.

5.00Our guide was fantastic: knowledgeable, patient and friendly. Everyone with us from seniors to 6 year old enjoyed this tour. Definitely leave time to go back and spend more in the historic district of Quito as we only saw that part briefly but overall excellent. Loved the equator experience and Initiyan museum.

5.00With only one day to explore Quito, it was great to have a knowledgeable, friendly guide, like George to show us the sites. We started with the cable car ride, as George suggested, because mornings are clearer. Our old town visit started with a tour of the Basilica, and gorgeous views of the old city. Next, we wandered through a few of the old town squares, visiting two churches and seeing historic buildings, shops and street vendors. Our day concluded with a trip to Intiñan Museo de Sitio at the equator, a fun and informative way to end a fabulous day! We highly recommend this tour and George.
