Amazing historical city tour

I went on a tour with Andrea as my guide. She was super knowledgable and easy-going. The tour was a great mix of history, culture, art and tastings. Highly recommend!

Increíble ????????????????

El mejor tour de mi vida! Quito está lleno de historia, y descubrirla con este recorrido fue fascinante. Cada calle, plaza e iglesia escondía detalles sorprendentes: historias de la época precolombina, la conquista y la vida colonial que me dejaron con la boca abierta. La guía hizo que el pasado cobrara vida y que mirara la ciudad con otros ojos. Si visitas Quito, no te pierdas este tour: es una experiencia inolvidable.

Very informative and interesting tour

Our guide, Malena, was absolutely amazing and very professional. She shared so much useful and interesting information without overwhelming us (focusing on the gems) - you could see she was passionate about all the history. Our tour was nicely varied and seemless, including regular food and drink tasting stops. I would highly recommend this tour, and in particular Malena. (our tour was postponed by 30 minutes, but we were notified in advance. This didn´t detract from the positive impact of the tour)

Amazing!!

We just finished our with Oscar. We had an amazing time. His explanations are very clear, entertaining and detailed. We loved the time we spent with him and we were a group of eight people including four teenagers. Thanks a lot for sharing so much with us.

What an incredible tour !

We did the walkjng tour with Rasu who was ahsolutely wonderful! He was so knowledgable and so kind and patient as we were suffering from a bit of altitute sickness. You can tell hes really passionate about Quito's architecture and history which translated to the tour. We learned so much and got to explore every single part of the old town. The chocolate tasting at the end was beyond all my expectations. ¡ Muchas gracias Rasu !
