“Two fantastic days in Quito”
We had two fantastic days in Quito with Gustavo. Getting to experience Quito and the surrounding area with Gustavo was a real treat. He was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the history, culture and traditions of that area of Ecuador. His recommendation for La Gloria for dinner was spot on. After two days together we felt like extended part of Gustavo's family. Taking those two tours with Gustavo should be on everyone's to do list in Quito. Thanks Gustavo Mike, Eveline and Ron!
