5.00What a wonderful way to spend a free day between travels. We learned so much about the history and land of Ecuador. Loved that we had a full day of adventures, but did not feel rushed at any time. Jhonatan was extremely knowledgeable and was a delight to spend the day with. Highly recommended this tour on your travels. We started the day with cable cars, then onward to the Basilica, Old Town, Mitad del Mundo and the Intinan Museum. Ask him to take you for empanadas in Old Town. Though the small stand was sold out, the other foods they offered were amazing. Perfect day!
Outstanding and so...

5.00We had one day in Quito before heading off to the Galapagos and chose this tour. We are so glad we did - it was awesome! The tour covered everything we would have wanted to do and was brilliant for the whole family (Mum, Dad and 11yr old). Jhonatan out guide was great fun, he was so knowledgeable and explained things really well and also made it really fun for our daughter. Given we’d just flown in from the UK the previous day and were somewhat jet lagged I was slightly worried about whether we would manage the full day but there was so much to do and the pace was just right that we were out all day! Marcelo our driver was also great, really friendly and did so well navigating the busier than usual streets as it was Palm Sunday and there were lots of road closures! Would recommend this tour 100 %!!
Great experience

5.00Jona (guide) and Javi (driver) were great. Extremely knowledgeable, flexible and fun. The cable cars didn’t work due to low clouds so we pivoted and viewed the volcanos instead. Highly recommend.
Fantastic day exploring Quito! Milton was very knowledgeable and we thoroughly enjoyed our day with him!

A city tour to remember

5.00What a fantastic day in Quito! If you only have a day to see the highlights of Quito, including the downtown area, the cable car overlooking the the city, and a visit to The Middle of the World (the fascinating exact spot of the equator), this is the tour to take. Our guide, Jhonatan, provided us with a day to remember, as well as teaching us a bit of Spanish! We had such a good time talking with him throughout the day, and this tour gave us an excellent sense of this beautiful city. The fact that it was a private tour for two was especially appreciated. I highly recommend Jhonatan to you!
