Excellent introduction to Quito - Our family booked two separate walking tours through our hotel--old town area and street food--and Pamela did an amazing job incorporating the two into one overall tour of Quito. Pamela is extremely knowledgeable and personable and it was a wonderful spending the day with her learning so much about Quito and Ecuador. We visited the so many sights in a short period of time. We were also able to taste so much food, which was fantastic. We really enjoyed getting to taste various dishes and so many fruits at the market, and we also had a chocolate tasting. We highly recommend Pamela as a guide!

Great way to see three attractions - We had a great experience with our tour guide Pamela and our driver Ricardo. They were very punctual at the meeting stop and the tour also ended around the time suggested. Pamela is very knowledgeable and the tour is filled with information. It was a great and comfortable way to visit the old town of Quito, the Teleferiqo, and the Middle of the World. You can leave your stuff in the car, and they were also very accommodating with dietary requirements.

Must-do tour of Quito! - Pamela gives an outstanding and comprehensive overview of Quito.
The stops are all very informative and a lot of fun.
If you’re in the city for one or two days, or a whole week, don’t miss this tour- a must-do!
Fluent in English, professional and kind.
It’s a wonderful experience!

Amazing tour of Quito and Surrounding - Amazing private tour with Ricky on the wheel. Quito has a lot to offer. Centro Historico, the Middle of the Earth, Mindo Cloud Forrest, Volcanos. That's what we did in a nutshell and our tour guide Ricky was very friendly and provided lots of information along the way.

Tour with a new Ecuadorian friend - Ricky was a phenomenal tour guide! He spoke English very well and arrived at our hotel at the designated time. He took into consideration it was Good Friday and how to get around the holiday crowds. His car was new, clean and comfortable. He drove very safely.
He always took into consideration what we would like to do and gave us a little explanation of where we were going, what our choices were and what would happen next.
He recommended a restaurant for lunch and called ahead to make a reservation. When we arrived, we were escorted in and the hostess chatted with us, discussed menu options and we were waited on and served promptly. The food and drinks were delicious !
We asked many questions about the Ecuadorian culture and he happily answered. He is obviously proud of his country!
Ricky picked us up at 8 AM and took us to the places we had requested. He then took us to the airport so we could catch our night flight. Our day with him was like spending a day with a new friend.
