The superb tour guide - The tour was an excellent way to explore Quito with important sights put together in one day tour. During the tour we visited the Inti Nan museum at thr Equator line, had a cable car ride to one of the vulcanos and a really interesting walk trough the historical centre to visit several sights. What really makes a difference when it comes to guided tours, is of course the guide. My guide, Kathy, was outstanding. With superb knowledge of the places we visited as well as knowledge of anything you would like to know about flora and fauna, or the history, culture and politics of Ecuador. Highly recommended.

Fun and insightful day in Quito - Pato took us on a fantastic adventure around Quito. We started with fresh fruit tasting in a local market, visited the Teleferico and the basilica for amazing views, ate a delicious lunch in the old town and had a fun time at the center of the world in Intiñan. Pato knew exactly where the best photo opps would be, but he also was extremely knowledgeable about the history and culture of the city. We had an overall amazing day and would recommend the visit!

Brilliant - From start to finish, Cathy was informative whatever the subject, exactly what you need from a guide, giving you time to acclimatise to the altitude not rushing you as so often happens. She was able to change our day to suit what I had already seen, and explained/pointed out a few things that I had not been aware of on my own exploration of Quito

A day in Quito - Lovely day spent with Galindo! From the "Mitad de mundo", the teleferic ride up the mountain or the downtown visit! Loved our lunch stop at " La Vid" and absolutely loved our chocolate experience!

Wonderful Experience With Talented Tour Guide - What a fantastic tour with our guide Kathy. She is so knowledgeable and accommodating to what we wanted in our tour. We saw the equator, the Middle of the World, hiked in the Andes, and visited the UNESCO World Heritage Old Quito plaza. We are traveling through South America over 3 1/2 months, spending the first two weeks in Columbia. This has been the best day. We had a fantastic lunch, followed by chocolate tasting. I highly recommend this tour, especially with Kathy. She was also a very safe driver and had a comfortable vehicle.

Amazing - I had a very wonderful day with my guide Roberto. He showed me all the most popular places in Quito and we had also a nice walk through the city centre. The best experience was for me the cable cabin surrounded by volcanos. Amazing 100%Recommendation
