Excellent day! Our tour guide, Christian, was the best. We were met at our hotel, we spent the whole day together, and were delivered back safely. Christian even took us to a fantastic restaurant for lunch, it was so good my husband and I went back the next day. If you are looking for a day to see Quito, this is the tour for you! Wear good walking shoes.
Our guide, Christian, was wonderful but it focused too much on touristy things and not enough on the downtown. We would have loved to see a market. Talked about the Ecuadorian culture maybe even shopped a little downtown.
Daniel was an amazing guide & resource for this full day tour in Quito. He tailored the day to our interests, was a wealth of knowledge and even took us to a pharmacy before returning us to the hotel. He kept a running conversation so we were never sitting in silence. Great guide!!
We were having trouble with the altitude and our driver and guide , Paul and Lucifer, adjusted our tour to meet our needs. They were super accommodating. Paul was an amazing driver, negotiating tight turns, and tiny streets with ease. Lucifer was so knowledgeable about the Country, city, local customs, flora, etc. Both had great senses of humor and were warm, friendly and went above and beyond expectations. We highly recommend using them in your travels.
Great tour led by Christian. Very knowledgeable and easy to talk with. Enjoyed the sites around and a comfortable drive between places!
