5.00We had a wonderful day with Gustavo. We visited historic sites, churches, Chocolate Mfr, and more. We wandered Old Town and met locals, spoke with merchants, tried new foods, and bought some treasures to take home. At the end of afternoon we stopped at a lovely restaurant to rest and relax. I had fresh ceviche which was delightful. Gustavo was very accommodating, made sure my girlfriend and I were safe, helped to facilitate purchases, and in general was a perfect gentleman. I would highly recommend him if you visit Quito.
Great tour of Quito and the Equator

5.00Gustavo and Elizabeth great people, professionals, very knowledgeable every time I travel to Ecuador, I use them in Quito and different cities around Ecuador. Last time I was in Quito, August 2022 I got the pleasure to go with Gustavo and his father to 'la costa' Pedernales and Cojimies Elizabeth a very professional host took us to Cotopaxi, beautiful experience, she knows everything about volcanoes in Ecuador. In general, they just want to place people with their experience covering all aspects of any trip you want to go. I highly recommend this company for Turing around Ecuador. Carlos and Rita Cordero

5.00I spent the day with Gustavo, owner of the Tours Around Quito. Old Town Quito was truly an amazing experience, I had such an awesome time I booked Gustavo for additional sites in Quito. Gustavo has extensive knowledge of his city and country. He also has an amazing personality, excellent English, punctual and very competitive rate. Since I spent a few days with him I was also fortunate enough to meet some of his other staff member. I felt the same warmth and kindness from them as well. I can honestly recommend this company and guarantee you will not be disappointed. I received far more than I could have even imagined. I hope to return back to Quito and use his services again.
Fantastic Tour Operator and Driver

5.00Elizabeth and Gustavo were fantastic. We used them multiple times in Quito and surrounding areas for both tours and airport transportation. Both were very informative, helpful and kind. I would highly recommend and I would use them again.

5.00We had the pleasure of spending 6 days with Gustavo as our guide starting in Quito, and then driving to surrounding areas. He was everything you would want in a guide - knowledgable, curious, caring and flexible. He knew so much about the area, where to go, had a car so we could be transported quickly, and when my daughter got sick, he was very helpful with the doctor/pharmacy helping us translate, etc. He's a very safe driver and we felt very comfortable leaving our younger daughter in the car with him a few times while we went hiking and she was too tired to walk. He was very flexible with itinerary changes we wanted to make as well. He is an excellent guide and we highly recommend him. Nick & Natasha Laul
Fantastic

5.00My day was full but did not feel rushed. I was well cared for and my hosts were very attentive. I experienced authentic cuisine at a restaurant that only the locals know. I will be back to explore more of Quito
