“Amazing City Tour in Quito with Gustavo!”
We had an incredible experience with Gustavo during our brief stopover in Quito on the way back from the Galápagos Islands. With a few hours to spare before our evening flight, we decided to book a city tour, and it turned out to be the perfect way to spend our free morning. From the start, everything ran like clockwork. Gustavo was an exceptional guide, full of knowledge about the city and its history. He tailored the tour to our interests and made sure we got the most out of our limited time. The sights were beautiful, and it felt like we truly got to experience the heart of Quito. One of the standout moments was how Gustavo adjusted the schedule to ensure we were back at the airport on time, without feeling rushed. His attention to detail and professionalism really made a difference and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. If you find yourself in Quito with some free time, I highly recommend this tour. It was an unforgettable way to explore the city, and we are so grateful to Gustavo for arranging such a seamless and memorable experience!

“Day Trip To See Middle of the World and Quito”
Gustavo (Gus) was on time to meet us at our hotel after our arrival at the airport. He was pleasant and talkative and very informative. He was easy to understand. He was extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of his city and the surrounding areas. He arranged our activities with perfect precision, which allowed us to see everything we wanted in the short time we were there. He graciously arranged this tour to fit our timeframe. We arrived in the early afternoon, with the tour lasting 7 hours. He took us around and dropped us off at our hotel at 8pm. We can't thank him enough for working late into the evening. The tour was fabulous. We started off at the Intinan museum and Globe at the Middle of the World. Then it was off to Old Town Quito. We enjoyed the square and went inside 3 churches. He spoke of their history and architectural styles. He was so knowledgeable. He was terrific driving through the city. The last stop was going to El Panecillo hill to see the Virgin Mary statue. It was so beautiful at night, as was the city lit up below. Thank you Gustavo. We wish you much continued success. You are the best.
