the tour guide did not present himself well in terms of what he wore. Even though he seems knowledgeable of the subject, but his explanation was very quick as if he wanted to finish the tour quickly.

We had a private tour with Alfonso who was very nice and spoke great English. The Equator and cable car to the top of the mountain were great, very fun but took up most of the day. Didn’t get to see much of Old Town. I must not have tipped good enough the day before as he seemed to loose interest today.

My tour guide Alfonso was so knowledgeable about the city of Quito. He was patience and flexible as well. Took us to a great restaurant for lunch and really gave us a great feeling about the city of Quito. I will return for sure.

Gabriel spoke excellent English and provided a thorough historical tour of Quito. From our visit to the Middle of the Earth to the depths of the city and beautiful churches and monuments, to the authentic lunch, our private group of 5 enjoyed this full day of getting to know Quito! Cindy B.
