Exceptional guide in Quito – truly made our trip

5.00We had an incredible experience in Quito, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Sol. From the moment she picked us up at the airport, everything was seamless and thoughtfully organised. She took us to the Mitad del Mundo where we stood right on the equator—such a memorable experience—and we also loved visiting local spots to see how biscotti and chilli jam are made. Sol was knowledgeable, warm, and genuinely cared about making our trip special. She dropped us off for our journey to the Galápagos Islands and was there again to pick us up when we returned, arranging a fantastic city tour and a beautiful restaurant for lunch before our flight. What really stood out was the extra effort—she created a WhatsApp group for us (something we hadn’t had on previous tours), shared great recommendations for restaurants, and helped organise our time in Quito perfectly. We had already been travelling together as a group for 10 days before meeting Sol, but she truly elevated the whole experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend her to anyone visiting Quito.

5.00It was our first stop in a tour of South America and was a great introduction to Ecuador. Alphonso met us at the airport on arrival and escorted us throughout our 3 night stay in Quito. We experienced the equator line museum, a tour of Quito old town and a day in Cotopaxi national park. Alphonso was knowledgeable, very friendly and extremely helpful - a superb guide. Very highly recommended - thanks for an unforgettable time in Quito.

5.00A fabulous city tour exploring Quito and the surrounding area. Etiel ensured we had a wonderful experience seeing life out in the community villages, in Quito old town and provided advice for exploring the north of the city. His walking tour in the old part of the city provided us with chocolate tasting experience, ice-cream delights and the city’s speciality cake all topped off with a wonderful lunch at Pims restaurant near to the Virgin Mary statue overlooking to city. A great way to wrap up a wonderful experience. Etiel is so knowledgeable and provided us with great insight into life in Quito.
A trip to remember
