Fantastic Guide

5.00We had a great experience with Pamela. It was easy to book over WhatsApp. She even accommodated a later start time since we arrived in Quito late the night before. She and our driver were both fantastic. They showed up on time, and showed us around the old town and the equator museum. We couldn’t recommend more!
Book here for the best experience!

5.00What a wonderful day. Saw many of the great sights in the Quito area and did so with Pamela who made the day all that much better. A wonderful guide that is very detailed, caring and attentive. She may be the best tour guide I’ve had in all my trips to over 40+ countries… no exaggeration!
Activity, science, history and fun

5.00Fantastic tour with Rick. He picked us up and took us to the cable car station. It was a beautiful day 8am and the visibility was amazing with the Cotapaxi volcano sight. Admission was discounted for seniors (had to show proof)). Very reasonable. Rick helped us with altitude adjustment by yoga breathing. The Intiman museum was very educational. I enjoyed that a lot. After that we went to Mitad del Mundo for pictures. The length of the tour was just right. Rick is also a careful driver. Very knowledgeable and engaging and a great photographer as well. Highly recommend this tour.
AMAZING

5.00Ricky did an amazing job showing me around Quito! He took amazing pictures for me and made the experience informative and special. In just a few hours he left me with such a good impression of Ecuador I want to come back to spend a longer time here. 10/10 experience. He also showed me where the BEST empanadas were!!
Great day in Quito!!

5.00We spent the entire day with Rickie touring the old town area and middle of the world monument and we had a wonderful day!! His knowledge of history and facts was outstanding and he presented them with a smile on his face the entire time. It was like spending 8 hours with a friend. Highly recommend him as your guy for any and all excursions you do in and around Quito. We booked him for our Mindo day next week already!!

5.00Pamela was such a great guide! Quito is a beautiful city, but being shown around by a knowledgeable local made all the difference. The tour felt very thoughtfully planned, and Pamela was incredibly flexible and accommodating to what we were interested in, even adjusting along the way to make sure we still had a great experience when the weather wasn’t cooperating. Because the tour isn’t run through a large company, it felt very personal and intentional, which really reinforced how much effort and care Pamela puts into creating a meaningful experience. It was especially helpful all transportation was taken care of! I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Quito.
