The guide arrived an hour and 10 minutes late! And we weren’t told of this until the time the Tour was supposed to start so we just had to wait around. She was good when she got there but that’s a bit much.
Agar was an excellent guide. She was very knowledgeable and explained things clearly and in a fascinating way. She was patient as we took photos at all the stops and even had a great sense of humor. Would highly recommend this comprehensive tour and wonderful guide!
Stefy was an incredible guide. She knows so much about Quito and is happy to share all of her knowledge. She brought us to many locations to try different foods, drinks, and treats. I felt she gave us a perfect snapshot of Quito.
Alejandro did a great job giving our family a tour of the old town area of Quito. We saw churches and he shared local history and information along the way. We also did a chocolate tasting we all enjoyed. We had an abbreviated tour due to our schedule and time but he did an excellent job and focused the tour based on our time table and interests perfectly.
Hello. Our trip around Quito was excellent. The guide was so nice and very knowledge. We enjoyed everything, thank you Viator for this tour.
Overall we enjoyed our tour with Alejandro. We loved seeing the city and especially loved the stops where we learned more about culture and food/ drink. Alejandro had a lot of good historical stories and insight for us into Quito. We were able to customize the tour by going into less churches to make time coffee tasting which we enjoyed.
Our tour guide, Alex, was great! We saw and learned so much. She clearly knew a lot about the history and superstitions of the area.
The guide spoke English well, very knowledgeable and patient. He took the time to answer many questions and was fexible.
Excellent guided tour of Stefi. Very interesting with the small excursions of Ecuadorian cuisine. Very good English.
I loved the tour, Stefy was an excellent guide very willing and informed, it is convenient to wear comfortable shoes and eager to learn.
