Freddie was very friendly, informative & flexible. He drove us to the volcanic crater, middle of the earth centre & the old town. He found a great place with a view for us to have lunch & the last stop was the chocolate experience. Top day. We learnt so much about the culture & lifestyle of Quito from Freddie. Highly recommend
