“Historical tour of Quito”
Gustavo arrived on time at our Airbnb. We were interested in using the Metro to get around and he accommodated our request. He was very friendly, informative and knowledgeable. We took the Teleferi cable car and he always checked in with us to make sure we were feeling ok at 4000 meters. We never felt rushed. When visiting the churches I had many questions and he was able to answer all my inquiries. I tried to stump him but he always had an answer. You could tell he was passionate about his work and country. I would definitely do another tour with him.
