  • Great personalized tour of Quito

    This private tour was great value. Marcello was full of interesting facts and went out of his way to show me aspects of Ecuadorean culture not explicitly included in tour. The views from the top of the Telerifico were unfortunately somewhat misty but still very dramatic. The church of La Compania was amazing with all its gold leaf. Thanks also go to Eduardo who did a great job of navigating the Quito traffic.

  • Perfect day out

    This was my second trip with Eduardo after a great time in the Mindo Cloud Forest. For this trip it was just me and Eduardo so we started with a trip up the Teleferico to enjoy the view before visiting the middle of the world museum at the equator. We then spent the afternoon visiting the old town where Eduardo gave his expert tour explaining the history of Quito before we had a traditional lunch. Highly recommended, brilliant door to door service and a very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly guide. Thanks Eduardo!
