Exploring Quito Old Town with Ayllu was fantastic. He is very knowledgeable and friendly and made walking around the old streets more valuable and purposeful rather than just wandering around aimlessly. Also made me feel very safe.

Alexis is a passionate and enthusiastic guide with extensive knowledge about Quito and all of Ecuador. I really enjoyed our 2.5 hour tour of the Old Town. The cacao tasting was really good and I learned a lot about the production and differences in chocolate. There was no pressure to buy anything but I plan to go back to enjoy some gelato. This was the perfect way to get introduced to Quito and the local culture. I highly recommend booking this tour to begin your adventure in the city.
Cacao taste at his best!

Very knowledgeable and friendly guide! This was an excellent introduction to Centro histórico on our first day in Quito. The guide did not push for tips, but we were happy to tip him. Thank you!

I booked this tour somewhat at the last minute. The chocolate is certainly a highlight! Have the one with plantains! They're the best.
