5.00Guide Karina and driver were very professional and pleasant ,maximising what we saw in one day in Quito . Made sense to go to Middle of the World museum first ,before it became crowded . This was an interesting museum where we learnt about the indigenous cultures of Equador as well as equator . Old Quito is lively and beautiful and we saw all the highlight churches and squares . All dealings with the company were friendly and professional . Highly recommended.

5.00The day was great. I had a half day between flights so Roberto picked me up at the airport and drove to the Middle of the world, an amazing view point and then walked around the old city. Afterwards he drove me back to the airport. Roberto had amazing knowledge of the city as well as the history of Quito. I would definitely recommend this tour. Gracias.

5.00Roberto is a fabulous guide and a genuinely nice person. Traveling solo as an older woman, I felt very safe with him, and there was flexibility in which sites to see. For example, I opted for a fabulous view of the city from near the Virgin of the Panecillo as the cable car was shrouded in clouds impacting visibly. The views were absolutely spectacular, and he is a knowledge guide who was able to impart quite a bit of history. He was extremely responsive and the conversation was wonderful. I enjoyed the tour so much that I have booked another tour with him, this time to see the cloud forest.
Amazing Quito

5.00Amazing Tour of Quito!! Our tour guide, Juan Cevallos, met us at 8am at the JW Marriott and he was awesome from the moment he greeted us until he dropped us back off at the hotel at the end of the tour. He is so knowledgeable on the city of Ecuador. He took us to the Panecillo, Mitad del Mundo, El Centro Historico, took us to a bunch of churches and even a chocolate store to hear how it's made! Juan is so friendly and we really enjoyed his guidance. He even took us to eat fritada at a local spot. It was delicious! I would highly recommend!
