Passion and knowledge.
Christopher_G, Apr 2024
An excellent introduction to Ecuador. The guide's great passion and broad knowledge of his country were evident throughout the tour. His willingness to share this passion and knowledge was constant regardless of the topic being discussed. The guide also knew when to listen so the scene and natural sounds could be experienced. Pre tour communication was excellent with handy tips on what to wear and bring on the tour. The activities exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended.
Must see!

A lovely day in Quito with our expert guide Eduardo. This is a must see when in Quito! Be prepared to pay $10 per person for entry fees to the two destinations.
Great Experience
Claire_S, Apr 2024
Wonderful tour! Eduardo was so knowledgeable and kind. Our group really enjoyed our experience. Only doing the half day tour, we still managed to see and learn a lot. Transportation was comfortable and punctual. Highly recommend.
Excellent Tour

Superb tour, excellent tour guide and we were well looked after from the start. Excellent communication. I would not hesitate to recommend this company.
Marcelo was a great tour guide

The grandkids really enjoyed doing all the experiments at the Equator. Marcelo kept everyone engaged and present with his knowledge of not just the tour but Ecuadorian history.
We had a great time on...
Judy_J, Jul 2023
We had a great time on this half-day tour in the Middle of the World. Our guide, Marcelo, was very informative and open to suggestions. He is a fluent English speaker and a former museum guide. He also made some recommendations on places to see and food options around Old Town Quito.
Great way to see several interesting sites in a short time

I usually try to avoid private tours but this one was great. Eduardo confirmed the pickup time and location in advance and arrived right on time. The tour included several stops and Eduardo added colour and background to all of them as well as places that we passed along the way. He even found an ATM when I realized I had to pay cash for everything and didn't have enough. My favourite part of the tour was the Intinan Museum - probably because I am a science nerd.
