Quito/ Galapagos - Landed in Quito the evening of the 1st March. Decided at the last minute to book the Full Day city tour. We wasn’t sure if we would get a next day tour but David replied by 6am the following morning and was at our hotel to meet us at 8.30am! and yes we where so so lucky. David is a great guy professionally and personally, knowledgeable without overload! and just wanted to know that we were happy with everything and we were enjoying ourselves. You can tell he really enjoys what he does and gave us so much information about Quito. He went above and beyond what he needed to do, also helping us with our checking in and paperwork at Quito airport for our onward journey to the Galápagos. Great guy and would have no hesitation in 100% recommending him and I will definitely be recommending him to people that I know are waiting for my return journey to the uk to see how my trip was before booking theirs to Ecuador. Thanks David for all your knowledge and help ;) Luceen & Martin

Outstanding! - The full day tour with Juan was outstanding. After an on-time meeting we headed to Old Town, which is a must see. Juan's knowledge of the history and architecture added to the tour. You learn so much more on a private tour and much can be accommodated to your interests. The ultimate treat was lunch at El Crater on the edge of the Puluahua volcano - one of the best Ecuadorian meals you will have. Highly recommended tour - it will not disappoint!

Great way to see Quito in a day! - Such a great experience! Learned so much about Quito and the Ecuadorian culture in just one day. David is very informative and we were able to see most of the city, the equator museum and the cable car. Loved it! Highly recommend for travelers.

Fantastic Day Touring Quito - David was our tour guide on 1/31/25 for a full day tour in Quito. He was so nice, knowledgeable, and his communication skills were excellent. He picked us up from our hotel and took us to some of the highlight buildings & public squares in historical Quito & then the cable car up to see the whole city. After a delicious lunch we went to the Equator Line. David was so nice that he even recommended a stronger spf sunscreen than we had brought for our trip & took us to a pharmacia to purchase some. I highly recommend doing a tour with his company.

Incredibly well looked after - Danny was such a great guide! He knows his stuff and enthusiastically shares his knowledge about Ecuador with his guests. The day started off great, though by lunch time altitude sickness sank in with me and I was really not feeling great (it was my first day in Quito). I did sadly have to cut my tour short, and Danny made sure I had what I needed. David (another guide from the same company) also followed up with me to make sure I was doing well, and offered to help me with anything I may need. As a solo female traveller I really appreciated the care both Danny and David put into making sure I was safe and healthy. These guys really care about their guests, and for this reason I would book another tour with them next time I’m in Ecuador.

Have a fantastic full day trip in Quito - It was a fantastic day with David. He was very informative and helpful. The Teleferico was closed and that’s why he brought us to Casa of Guayamin, a very interesting Ecuadorian painter. The whole trip was extraordinary and our guide David did the best! If you have only one day in Quito I would highly recommend this tour.

Great Quito Guide and Tour! - Danny was an outstanding tour guide who provided in-depth information about Quito and Ecuador. He was always friendly and concerned about our safety, his advice about things we could and occasionally should not do were spot on. He's a consummate professional.

Quito is more interesting than I know - Our tour guide was David. He told us a lot of the history of the Quito. He brought us to the historical centro and he showed us many churches on one avenue. The trip also went to the highland of Quito by cable car. The view from the mountain is excellence. I could see almost the whole Quito city. We had some altitude effect and decided not to climb near the volcano. I believe it should be fun for other people. The last part of the trip was to the equator line which is a must to do in Quito. My wife was able to stand the eggs. She has a lot of fun there.

One of the best tour guides I have experienced - I highly recommend Ecuadorian Tour Guide. Our guide David was very friendly, sociable and attentive. He demonstrated a plethora of knowledge about the city of Quito. I felt that I learned more than I had anticipated from the tour. One of the best tour guides I have ever had and I am a frequent traveler. I had no questions as he seemed to cover all aspects throughout the tour. He made a few recommendations for food and restaurants and we went to two of the restaurants which did not disappoint… Again, I highly recommend.

This is a must do! - This was a tremendously informative and interesting tour of signature locations in and near Quito. We saw areas in the old city, visited the equator, scaled a mountain and saw the Virgin of the city. It was a beautiful experience made more incredible by a fantastic guide.
