Great day! - This is a full day and worth every minute. Jonathan was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. We walked around old town and he described so many statues and architecture in great detail. We went to the equator, basilica and a view of the volcano crater. Weather was a bit tricky but he pivoted nicely. We had empanadas for lunch and he gave us recommendations for other places to visit and eat. Great day! Thank you Jonathan.

Best honeymoon tour - Jonathan and James were absolutely amazing! Jonathan knew absolutely everything there is to know about Quito and made it SO fun and interesting. They gave us the very best day. We covered the cable car, old town (including the Basilica) and the equator and they had an amazing lunch filled with local food!!! Couldn’t recommend them enough!

Quito tour - Grace as a guide - Grace has undoubtedly been one of the most professional guides we have had on all our travels. Not only did he explain everything to us with incredible passion, dedication and enthusiasm, but he also showed himself to have impressive knowledge about every detail. You can tell that you love what you do: transmit, connect and turn the experience into something much more special. He is a person with a lot of information, but also with a warmth and dedication that make a difference. It definitely deserves five stars. We would recommend it again and again without thinking.

A nice overview of Quito - Milton and our driver were prepared. He was there promptly at 9, and we went to the top of the volcano on the Teleferico - the gondola. Great vistas. Milton was so smart to take us there first thing. When we came back down, the line was getting very long, and the extended wait would have been very annoying. We explored the old town. One comment on that, it would have been nice to know that we were doing that so we could have brought along a hat and water. So, if he explained what was next on the agenda, we could be more prepared. Our tour of the Equator was great, and Milton knew lots of interesting things to share with us. He had pre-selected a place for lunch, and again, a little bit more explanation of the menu would have helped. On the whole, we had a delightful day and learned quite a bit about the culture and symbolism.

Our guide was fantastic:... - Our guide was fantastic: knowledgeable, patient and friendly. Everyone with us from seniors to 6 year old enjoyed this tour. Definitely leave time to go back and spend more in the historic district of Quito as we only saw that part briefly but overall excellent. Loved the equator experience and Initiyan museum.

With only one day to... - With only one day to explore Quito, it was great to have a knowledgeable, friendly guide, like George to show us the sites. We started with the cable car ride, as George suggested, because mornings are clearer. Our old town visit started with a tour of the Basilica, and gorgeous views of the old city. Next, we wandered through a few of the old town squares, visiting two churches and seeing historic buildings, shops and street vendors. Our day concluded with a trip to Intiñan Museo de Sitio at the equator, a fun and informative way to end a fabulous day! We highly recommend this tour and George.

A Must Do Tour - Milton was a fantastic guide and gave us so much information about Quito and Ecuador. He arrived on time, was friendly, and made sure we enjoyed our time. We were able to take the cable car, spend time on the volcano, see many churches and the beautiful plazas, and spend time at the center of the world and the fun, interactive museum there. All in one day! Diego was a great driver and made sure we didn’t spend our time in traffic. A must do. Book now!

A great cultural experience - Our tour was fabulous! We only had one day in Quito and our guide Jessica made sure we saw as much as possible. We rode the TelefriQo cable car to the top and then hiked up to the swings where Jessica took great photos us swinging. We saw two cathedrals, had great Ecuadorian food, and visited the Middle of the World Museum and much more.
