Excellent guide who knew a lot about the city and made us feel that he cared about what he was doing for us and trying to make it special . Took us to a nice restaurant and explained the menu which has helped us when we have been to other restaurants later. A great day!

What a fabulous way to see all the sites of Quito. We opted for the private tour and would highly recommend it. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly and took us on an in depth tour of Quito. If you only have time for one tour this would be it.
