Mitad del Mundo and Historic Quito
grannyinla, Sep 2019
This was an excellent tour, guided by Christian. He was amazing: knew so much, and was so helpful in getting me around Quito. The Mitad del Mundo was interesting, showing the differences in the two hemispheres; the outside of the Basilica with its animal gargoyles; ... and the interior of La Compania is just breathtaking. We went back to a store we'd visited previously for a snow globe, and he suggested lunch at one of the little cafes on the Grand Plaza, which was fun (the owner was a terrible tease - but such a lovely twinkle!). In other words, Christian helped me to do what I wanted with the day, and was incredibly informative and helpful.

Beautiful Quito
Cynthia_J, Sep 2019
Our guide, Marcelo, was prompt, professional, helpful and extremely knowledgeable with 22 years of experience! He proudly showed us Quito's Old Town and hit all the main sites. He was flexible with our requests and a pleasure to tour with! Even with some awful traffic delays to the Middle of the World, he didn't rush us and urged us to do everything we wanted to. It was an amazing day!

We loved this tour. Our guide was helpful and flexible. He picked us up at our Air BNB and dropped us off where we requested. He was extremely personable and even shared his own food with us from a tourist stop. He took us to beautiful places with picturesq views and didn't mind taking pictures of us. We also had a great time at the Mitad de Mundo museum where he dropped us off and waited for us. I definitely recommend this tour!
