    We were fortunate enough to have Pablo as our guide on this fun day trip. We walked and walked as he told us all about the historic part of Quito. Such a charming city and Pablo was so knowledgeable and excited to share with us all the history and hidden places that he knew about. We even had a wonderful lunch with him at a super fun restaurant he suggested, We spent the whole day together and had the best time! We didn't want it to end! We said our goodbyes and thought that was that and to our surprise, Pablo ended up being our guide the following day too!!!! He is absolutely wonderful in every way and we would highly recommend this tour and the Middle of the World tour also. Great memories were made both days Thank You Pablo!!!!
