5.00We had the best experience. We actually booked through our hotel & they provided the best company. Our guide spoke perfect English and was very passionate and knowledgeable about his beautiful country. We were in the Galapagos and only had one day so we went horseback riding to see all the beautiful volcanos! We will be back and use this tour group again. We felt very safe and Ecuador is a very clean country with the kindest people.
A fantastic day at Quito

5.00Ricardo showed us around Quito. We strolled through the city, visited the Gold Church and drove to Mida del Mundo, where we were able to do some great experiments on gravity. All in all, a great day! Ricardo knows an enormous amount about the architecture, history and culture of Quito. It was interesting, informative and exciting. The organisation was also very good and the driver deserves our thanks too! We can highly recommend Ricardo as a guide. Claudia&Albert

5.00We had such a good experience with Ricky! He is very knowledgeable and accommodating. He made sure that we saw everything we wanted to see and constantly checked in to make sure we had access to water/food/restrooms when needed. He had a lot of interesting information to share, which really enhanced the experience of visiting Quito’s famous spots. Overall we had an excellent experience and would definitely recommend booking a tour with Ricky!
Great way to spend a day in Quito!

5.00Ricky introduced us to Quito with all its facets as well as the local cuisine. We were excited about his knowledge of the history and architectural styles of churches. In sunny weather he could show us all volcanoes and name them.

5.00We had a great day with Pamela! She showed us the highlights of her city and also responded to our wishes. She speaks very good English, so you can follow her very well even as a non-native speaker. After the first tour, we immediately agreed on a second tour with her.
Great tour, great guide!

5.00Took a tour with Pamela and she was a fantastic guide! We could tell she wanted us to have the best experience possible and was flexible when weather shifted our plans a little bit. She was kind and the knowledge she shared was extensive, we learned a lot. Had fun too! She was also gracious enough to take photos for us throughout the day. I would highly recommend a tour like this for experiencing the city of Quito. Grateful we found it and met Pamela!
Extremely pleasant and interesting!

5.00Our tour guide, Pamela, enhanced our first visit to beautiful Quito tremendously. First day we walked Old Town area: Basilica del Voto Nacional ( unique gargoyles!! ) and climbed up to the top for amazing views and explanations of how the city was settled. She showed us the largest Nativty scene - it was stunning as it must have been 40 ft long, moving parts and even clouds with falling rain! We walked many of the Old Town Streets but at our pace and stopping at sculptures or shops, eg. The next day we drove to the Middle of the World and visited the Monument as well. Many fun things to learn here ! Pamela is an expert regarding the history, flora, and fauna- her enthusiasm and love for Ecuador taught a us to love and appreciate Quito and all of Ecuador! Muchas Gracias Pamela!
