Best tour in Quito you can’t miss! - Our guide Pedro was amazing. He told us a lot about the history and interesting facts of each town and attraction we visited along the way. Thanks to his expertise and driving skill, the transition from each location to the next was seamless. He even got out of his way to show us attractions along the way that weren’t included in the original itinerary. The day trip in Quito we did with Pedro was definitely a pleasant one. Highly recommend!

You won’t regret this tour - We had an amazing time with David on our trip!! It was truly an experience we won’t forget. David did a great job at making adjustments and making the day even more personalized for my boyfriend and I! Seeing Cotopaxi park and the volcano was spectacular! The hot springs after were just the best way to end the day. David was incredibly nice and extremely knowledgeable. He has so much passion for his county and was a great source of information on the history of Ecuador! Thanks David for making our trip incredible.
