Travel through Quito with Carlos! - Fun does not begin to describe the time we had with Carlos going throughout Quito! On our final day in Ecuador, we feel like we saw every corner of Quito, all thanks to Carlos! We were so thankful to have him take us around and were so delighted at his extensive knowledge of the city! He absolutely made our time in Quito sing!

Excellent experience and Great Guide (Irene)! - We did a couple of days with Irene and the Quito Tur Bus - although both days we took a private tour. I can't recommend Irene highly enough, she was an excellent guide that did a really good job. Her english was excellent and her knowledge was superb. Day 1 we did the historic city tour and Day 2 we went on the Otavalo tour. If you are in Quito then you should request her as a guide!

Super amazing tour of Quito - My family and I went on an amazing city tour of Quito. Irene was an excellent guide very knowledgeable with providing the history the city of Quito has. She treated us like family made the tour very enjoyable/ humorous and entertaining for all my family including my 5 year old. She was bilingual in English and Spanish which my father loved since he is Spanish speaking. We had the best time in Quito. Jimmy the driver was great and allowed us to enjoy the entire beautiful scenery of Quito. I definitely recommend anyone and everyone to have Irene as their tour guide when visiting Quito.

Amazing Quito with Irene. - Irene was the best tour guide. She was super friendly, knowledgeable, and very energetic. She spoke English which was helpful for my family members who didn't speak Spanish. This was a 5/5. We would certainly do another tour with Irene. We had an amazing time and everything went smooth.
