“Exceptional Quito City Tour with Gustavo – A Day to Remember!”
Gustavo did such an amazing job with our small group of 3 that we booked him again with a larger group of 8 people. Our group of 8 was impressed by his charisma and depth of knowledge. From the start, Gustavo made us feel welcome. He balanced structure and spontaneity with ease. He accommodated our different interests and adjusted itinerary to include spontaneous stops that turned out to be group favorites. Whether you're a history buff, a culture enthusiast or a foodie, Gustavo is the guide who will make the trip unforgettable.
