Amazing and Unique Tour of the Middle of the Earth - This was a very unique and amazing experience here in Quito do experience the Middle of the World. Josh is an amazing guide with so much passion and knowledge about the history about the middle of the world, the Equator. I was fortunate to have Josh as a personal guide so I gained so much knowledge was able to get some amazing photos. The views that we get from locations we visited are breathtaking. We actually went to where Latitude is 0.00.00, the only place that has those coordinates. To make this tour even extra special is the ritual.a Shaman performs on you to help improve yourself. It was a one of a kind ceremony that caters you. The ritual along with all the knowledge and places viewed made it one of the best tours that I have done around the world. Josh is a one of a kind tour guide, and glad I got to meet a new friend a long the way! 😁

Jossua was an excellent... - Jossua was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable about Quito's history and culture. I had an exciting time searching for true latitude Zero with him. My favourite part was the indigenous ritual at the end, it was very unique and worth it. The tour was private so you could spend as much or as little time as you like in any place or tailor it to your interests. He's also a good photographer

Fantastic equatorial tour! - It is good to know that in Ecuador there are guides who have a high level of conscientiousness (conciencia) and who are willing to teach you more than just geography. Jossua's guidance made me feel at home. Thank you for the warmth; I loved visiting the equator in this beautiful country!
