Keto has many interesting things to see and do. - Galindo was a fabulous tour guide! He was so knowledgeable about the history of the area, agriculture of the land , and the economics of the country.
The restaurant selection was exactly to our liking and the chocolate tour was of great. Entertainment and enjoyment.
He catered to all of our needs. I would highly recommend him to anyone thinking of signing up for a tour guide.

Quito Day Tour - Our tour guide Diego was fantastic! He met us at our hotel with a smile and away we went! The day was planned perfectly with a stroll through historic Quito, chocolate tasting and history information along the walk. We visited a local market where we learned about local foods, vegetables and fruit. We even sampled some fresh delicious fruit. Great cultural experience! We were able to check all the boxes of the things we wanted to see and do! Diego drove us EVERYWHERE and engaged us in fun, educational conversation. He was a friendly, knowledgeable and easy person to spend a whole day with! Thank you Diego for an adventurous and fulfilling day!

Excellent tour, Diego was awesome. - My wife and I booked this tour as part of our stay in Quito. It was an excellent way to spend our 1st day in this new city/country. Diego was our guide for the day and he nailed it. He showed us everything we wanted to see, educated us constantly, answered every question and even helped with photo's. If you're looking to learn and explore - this tour, and Diego specifically, is excellent.

Highlights of Quito in a Day - We had a fabulous tour with Pato on May 2. There were three of us on the tour. We did the personalized city tour of Quito, Teleferico, and the middle of the world tour. This was an eight hour tour. Pato was a fabulous tour guide and he made the tour extra special and took amazing pictures of us when we were on the swing for the Teleferico part of the trip and took other amazing pictures as well. He also recommended a great restaurant called Lavid in the old town and we had an awesome dinner with him and a chocolate tasting in the evening. I would highly recommend this tour and Pato was an excellent tour guide. We hope to take additional tours with him soon.

Wonderful day tour of Quito with Jossua - We had a wonderful tour with Jossua. We were unable to take the gondola to the Teleferico due to damage from a fallen tree, but Jossua improvised and took us to the old city of Quito, the Middle of the World, Pululahua, the Basilica, an ice cream and chocolate shop. Jossua picked us up and returned us to our hotel near the airport. It was a full, busy and productive day!

Best Tour in all of Ecuador - Pato went above and beyond for our group. He was very social and engaging. Made every stop in the tour a fun one. He’s very considerate and checks on everyone went dealing with the altitude of Teleferico. He takes good photos at all the scenic stops. We can tell Pato is very passionate about his home country and shares history/stories. He also took us to eat at a really delicious and authentic Ecuadorian restaurant in the Old Town. Pato is one of the best tour guides I’ve had. This is a must do tour. I recommend booking during the week, it isn’t as busy with the long lines and crowds.

Great tour of Quito! - We had an absolutely wonderful tour with Galindo! We visited many places, making it a very thorough tour. We loved the Middle of the World Museum and the chocolate tasting experience. Galindo was so knowledgeable about the area, plants, customs, and history. He answered every question we asked. He was so kind, courteous, and professional. We are so thankful that he was our guide, making the experience such a positive one!

Average tour, pathetic guide - I had left a much nicer review of this tour, but Patricio aka Pato had the guts to contact me on WhatsApp and point out that I had only rated the experience 4 stars and he - quote, unquote - was used to getting 5 stars (emoji, emoji). I mean, seriously?!
Pato, you know what? Yes, you were knowledgeable, courteous and friendly, but your tour was average. Yes, average.
Oh and, try and be less of a reckless driver: let’s not forget you ran over a stray dog and killed it on my tour. I tried to keep it cool in the car but, it brought me to tears.
