Amazing Quito with Irene. - Irene was the best tour guide. She was super friendly, knowledgeable, and very energetic. She spoke English which was helpful for my family members who didn't speak Spanish. This was a 5/5. We would certainly do another tour with Irene. We had an amazing time and everything went smooth.

Highly recommend this trip! - Our guide Misael made all his efforts to accommodate our request during the trip which made it flexible. The information he introduced was so helpful for us to learn the culture of Ecuador, city of Quito. He also took us to try some special local snack/candy- that was so impressive. In my memory I printed the image of my crushing of the liquor candy into pieces and the liquor sprayed onto my glasses- the blue liquor candy! Lovely. The intinan solar museum, church, middle of the world, hill with statue of Virgin Mary, chocolate tasting tour, old city tour- all great! The trip was wonderful.

Temperature in the Equator is dependent on altitude - The trip to Mitad del mundo was nthe highlight of the tour. The Teleférico excursión was cancelled because the cablecars were inoperable. So, buyers beware, Travelzoo didn’t disclose this upfront.
