Miriam is a wonderful person to spend the day with
Q6685KVstevenm, 15-12-2022
Miriam was warm and genuine, and generous with her time. The Teleferico was initially closed and we waited quite awhile and had to return later that day. She did not seem to mind the delay and was always good natured, informative and a pleasure to be with.
Old town fun stair climbs to great views

Andres was a fantastic guide, he brought us to many fun view spots in the old town and even a yummy lunch spot for traditional potato soup and empanadas.
Fantastic tour with Miriam
Gabriel_H, 18-11-2022
Miriam was a fantastic guide on this tour. She shared interesting facts about Quito and was flexible, accommodating and simply fun to spend the day with. The view from the mountain was wonderful, and the route that she planned in the old city included the most beautiful churches. We also enjoyed the visit to the chocolate factory store with chocolate tastings. Highly recommended!
Private Tour!

Luis is a fantastic tour guide. Our day began with Teleferico ride over 13,000 altitude plus a lovely hike even a bit higher to enjoy the natural environment, geography and clear fresh air. We next traveled to the tall Virgin of Quito statue stopping to see probably the last shepherdess tending her sheep while sitting in the grass spinning wool! Amazing! Our tour was fortunate to be scheduled during day of the dead festivities and we were able to visit crypts and sample traditional drinks and breads prepared by the novice monks for the occasion. Luis was knowledgeable, flexible and assured we got our value for the tour.
History abounds!

Carlos was my very knowledgeable guide. He was like an encyclopedia on not only Quito and Ecuador but about other parts of world history and current events that have or are impacting Ecuador. He was patient and responsive to all of my questions. I skipped the Cable Car tour because it was cloudy but there was plenty to explore in the historical district. He also took me to the El Panecillo (Angel statue) and pointed out everything as far as the eye could see including two volcanoes that were visible from here. It was an amazing day and I would highly recommend it and Carlos.
