I had a great day exploring Quito and Mitad el Mundo with my guide. He was approachable, friendly and easy to relate with. He was also knowledgeable of the many attractions in his country. Keep up the great work!
Could have been better.
I had an excellent experience. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the city and spoke good English. We saw all the major attractions in Quito and had a nice lunch. The tour was from 9:30 AM- 4:00 PM! Money well spent, this was exactly what I was hoping it would be. I would highly recommend it!
