A Wonderful Tour
I had a wonderful city tour with Daniel. He was full of interesting facts, engaging stories, and local experiences to help you learn about the city. Additionally, he brought his own fun personality and flair to the experience. I'd definitely recommend the tour as a great way to experience historic Quito.

Very Worthwhile.
Daniel , the tour guide was GREAT!! Knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, and on schedule. I really enjoyed all the information and the tour. IT does involve some walking but all doable. Three hours is the perfect length. Thanks.

Amazing opportunity to discover Quito Old Town
This was a well-paced activity where the guide Daniel shared lots of information in a fun way. We had several opportunities to sit down and sample local foods and drinks, finishing with amazing chocolate at Yumbas. We are both seniors and despite the altitude, found this very manageable and hugely enjoyable.

An entire experience richer in 3 hours
I wasn't going to do this tour but could hook up from the hostel. I turned out to be the only one, but the guide was super enthusiastic and showed me 3 hours of places in the city that I wouldn't have found myself, I got to taste everything in different places, and also got excited to explore the city further. Thanks Daniel!

great for getting to know the center of Quito
I had a great time on the tour with Daniel. I was lucky to have a private tour and I felt that this way we were able to talk much more about different aspects not only of the city but of the culture, the food, and the country itself.
Thank you very much for the wonderful tour.
