5.00We had a wonderful walk through historic Quito with Juan. He provided us with an overview of the history and culture of Quito's Old Historic District. Juan was very flexible and tailored the experience to our questions and interests. We came away so impressed with the team at Friends Expeditions. They went far above and beyond to assist us. Hours after our tour had ended, they helped us secure a taxi during an early evening thunderstorm ... and then checked in with us to be sure we'd reached our hotel safely. We highly recommend them!

5.00Jonathan was full of knowledge and happy to chat whilst showing us the highlights of the city. Would definitely recommend as a quick way to get your bearings of the city or just to ensure you see as much as possible if you are only there for a day we we were.
