We 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!

Jonathan 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.
Great guide and tour

We spent the morning with Ethel for our Quito walking tour. She was fantastic and really took the time to explain both the historical significance and political history of Quito to better understand the what and how of Quito. We toured many of the churches which by far were all unique and amazing and several of the plazas in the old town. Ethel was a great host and very accommodating and accomplished! Thank you so much for taking my husband and I for the tour. Highly recommend!
