Great Quito Tour - My friend and I had a great tour of the old town with Daniel. He was a very knowledgeable and kind guide and gave us a great overview of the history of the area. Loved the gargoyles on the Cathedral representing all the animals in Equador. We enjoyed the cable car ride and swing at the top and had an informative tour of the scientific museum at the equator. Highly recommend this tour!

A Fantastic Tour Guide! - I cannot rave enough about Daniel. His knowledge is immense. His patience with an older traveler is impeccable. And his sense of humor is irascible. Smart, patient, and funny? What's not to like? The tour was breathtaking, thoughtful, informative, and fun. I highly recommend him! Thank you, Daniel!

Great and caring guide. Interesting choices. - Aurelio is a great guide. He took us to interesting places such as the outdoor Intiman museum, located on the trie equator. We learned about the indigenous animals, plants and people with exact replicas of their houses. We learned about chocolate and tasted raw and processed beans. our guide performed experiments to prove that we were exactly on the equator. At the end of the day we walked in the colonial city but someone bumped into my daughter and stole her iPhone. After determining who the culprit was by talking to nearby merchants, he ran towards the woman who boarded a bus. Aurelio entered the bus and recovered the phone by threatening her with prosecution. He recovered the iPhone. Aurelio is a real hero.

Great way to check things of your must do list - Loved the tour through the Old town and the museum at the equator. Unfortunately no view from the teleferico as it was cloudy. Daniel our guide was a fountain of knowledge and made this a memorable experience.
