Great First Day in Quito! - Luis was a great guide! Right on time, spoke great English, and even conversed with me in Spanish, to help me practice! The ride on the cable car was awesome, and the short hike was no too hard at all! Beautiful views!
It being my first day in Quito, Luis really helped me get a layout of the city! He even bumped into a previous tour guest who had lost her luggage at the airport, and he was assisting her get her luggage! Very nice! Highly recommend!

Great introduction to Quito! - Our tour guide Carlo Avila was a rock star! We learned so much about Quito’s history, culture, people in just one day! The tourist areas can be crowded and traffic difficult to negotiate, but he efficiently moved us from one tourist attraction to another attraction saving us time and stress. Carlos was engaged and enthusiastic, highlighting the best at each attraction and patiently answering our many questions.

Introduction to Quito and wonderful lunch! - While the cable car was the expected highlight the lunch stop at a local market made the trip memorable. So very good and fun to see the activity in the market. Hugo spent quite a bit of time learning about what we liked so he could pick the right spot. Well done.

Cable car tour in Quito - We enjoyed the cable cars. Our guide was very nice. The cable car was well timed as we went early and had good weather and beat the crowds. We enjoyed the views. We then went to old town and new town.
