Enjoying Quito - An incredible and very complete tour, we visited beautiful places in the center of Quito. Our guide Julio was very kind at all times and he gave us a lot of interesting facts about the city. Something that made this tour very special was the tasting of craft beer, chocolate and sweets from Quito.
