Quito old town - Diego was an amazing guide. He taught us so much about how the Spanish forced the indigenous to become catholic. He showed us many spectacular views of the city, churches and old down town.

Quito Old Town Tour - Diego was a great guide. He provided a great deal of information about the sites visited as well as the city itself. The pace was ideal as one of us was having difficulty breathing. The chocolate factory was a great ending.

Great Overview of Quito - Our guide, Fabian, met us at the scheduled time and location, had a good driver, Dante, with him, and escorted us around the city by car and walking. Fabian is friendly, communicates well, and had an in-depth knowledge of the architecture and religious art works which we viewed.

5 star tour of Old Town Quito - Dante and Alex let our family of 12 on a wonderful “4 hour” tour of Quito city! We could not have asked for more. They were both knowledgeable of the sites and history of Quito and had much patience answering questions from all of us. The churches were beautiful, the Chocolate tasting was wonderful, and the lunch they recommended was perfect. We all agree that this tour receives 5 stars. Thank you, Dante and Alex.

Quito City Tour - disappointing - Good tour, however our guide was 45 minutes late in arrival. As a result, we were quite rushed at certain points. The Panecillo was great but she tried to skip the entry which provided the overlook. The cost was just $1 per person. We insisted to visit the museum and overlook which was very worth it. Traffic was horrible and we spent almost two hours sitting in traffic and looking for parking. One wonders if she had been on time if this experience had been better. We saw the outside of San Francisco but no time to go inside. We visited the Golden Church and visited the inside which was 100% worth it — educational. Guide bought some lychee ($1 for a bag) which we enjoyed for a sweet snack. More traffic. The other market stops were nice — lady at ice cream tried to cheat us out of change but guide resisted and defended. We loved the chocolate tasting! Truly educational. Finished one hour early, so in total the trip was two hours less than expected. Disappointing because, combined with the traffic, we could have seen and enjoyed so much more. Would not book again.
