Everything we could want in a tour - Because we were staying in the heart of Quito's Old Town, my friend and I decided that we wanted a guide to help us explore some areas outside the city, especially the Middle of the Earth complex and the Teleferico. We were so fortunate that Viator linked us with Pamela Rivadeneira, who proved to be our ideal guide -- knowledgeable, fluent in English, and exuding a genuine warmth that went beyond the hospitality we learned to expect in Ecuador. Pamela listened to us, paying attention and care to our particular interests, so much so that we booked her services for two additional days. Our tours with her weren't just private; they were truly personal.

Great day in Quito. Great experience - Friendliness, flexibility and good treatment. Even though I changed the itinerary for extraneous reasons, they took me to others without inconvenience. I finally met more places. They accommodated my schedule perfectly: "it was great."

Fabulous, fun day out! - Our guide Ricky was so friendly and knowledgeable. We had a fun and relaxed time with history, culture and science thrown in. The views from the cable car are awesome and we practised some yiga breathing to overcome the altitude. Both the historical and actual middle of the world places are fun lovely meal with a great view and the conversation great.

Anytime again - We were traveling together with the wonderful Pamela in Quito and went to Mitad del Mundo at the end. Pamela organized the day very well. We were out on a very sunny Sunday, during the holiday season. She has also asked several times about our well-being (height can get to you quickly) and designed the tour entirely according to our needs and was therefore always flexible. She could tell us a lot about the culture and customs. She also took many photos and videos of the tour, which she later shared with us.

Enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. - Ricky was a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and clearly very proud to show off his beautiful country. His English is outstanding. He was an absolute gentleman - always opening the car door for me or offering a hand down a steep step or path. Thanks Ricky for a fantastic day.
