An excellent introduction to Quito! - Andres was a wonderful guide: so friendly, a great driver and knowledgeable about his city, the food and the culture! We had fun exploring and would highly recommend any tours with him! He also gave us spot on recommendations for excellent dining and drinks. We consider him a friend now!

Great day getting to know Quito - Great day getting to know the Quito area! It was the perfect mix of experiences. Ending the day at the Itinan museum was perfect, actually our favorite part of the day. It was informative and very entertaining. The weather during the time at the Teleferico was cloudy, which unfortunately made visibility poor. Our guide Diego was personable, friendly and full of knowledge. Thanks for a great day!

The best for flexibility! - This was a good experience. We were traveling as a family with 2 young children, so the flexibility of private tour is worth the extra cost. Our guide, Jean Pierre, was very knowledgeable and spoke great English. We went to Teleferico, Mitad del mundo, and brief tour of old Town. Highly recommend!!!

Wonderful private tour of Quito highlights! - Our guide, Diego, picked us up without a hitch at the lobby of our hotel, and we were whisked away for a great day with Fernando as our driver. Diego gave us lots of interesting information about Quito and its history throughout the day, and was able to pace the day very well so that we never felt rushed (or bored) at any of the sites. Every single place we went to (teleferico, Jesuit church, intinan museum), was a highlight, and not to be missed on a trip to Quito. We had a fantastic day!

Excellent customer service and communication - We booked a full day tour with Andres. He reached out via whatsapp shortly after we booked to introduce himself. As we got closer to the trip date in late June 2022 a general strike, road closures and demonstrations took place in Ecuador in general and Quito specifically. Andres kept in touch as the dynamic situation developed. We discussed possible alternatives and substitutions to the tour, changed the day of the tour hoping that conditions would improve and allow the tour to go forward. We were not fortunate to see the situation improve. Once Andres and I agreed that there are no feasible alternatives, Andres cancelled the tour and a refund was issued within minutes of the cancellation. While we did not get to enjoy a tour with Andres due to circumstance beyond everyone's control; his open communications, honesty and excellent customer support and service is 5 star worthy.

Perfect private tour for English and Spanish speaking people! - Me and my husband had a private tour around Quito with Andres and we are so happy we did! We had some worries in general about tours in Quito, a lot of people said that it’s not the safest times right now. But we felt very safe with Andres. He picked us up from the hotel and dropped us off after the tour. He knew where and when to go, to avoids crowds or even clouds that would block the best view. It was so easy since we didn’t have to plan a thing ourselves or do any research. Andres speaks perfect English, which is great since I don't speak Spanish. He is very knowledgeable and fun. The tour was eventful, but no as tiring as usual group tours, and also so flexible (!). I was hoping to buy certain souvenirs and we adjusted our route so I could shop too. We are happy to found “our guy” and whenever travel back to Ecuador will book our excursions with him only. Thank you, Andres! Sending you the best wishes. Xenia & Cesar

Amazing jam-packed day! - Andres really worked with us to maximize our experiences. We saw a ton of things and he even took us to buy luggage to replace our broken suitcase. This was a jam-packed amazing day! We saw plazas, cathedrals, telemedicine, the equator, and shopped at an artisanal market for souvenirs.
