“A Day to Remember in Colonial Quito”
Mauricio was an excellent tour guide. He took us to several places that were not on the original tour, such as the Army Social Club. He used quick thinking to alter his planned itinerary, when we mentioned that we wanted to see the gargoyles at the Basilica. His English was excellent and his knowledge of Quito and its history astounding. He had incredible stories that we will never forget. Mauricio told us over and over to keep our valuables safe and protected, since there were large crowds due to the Spring Solstice festivities. Unfortunately, my husband was pick-pocketed twice, losing both his phone and his wallet. Mauricio quickly went into protective mode, taking us to a quiet place so that my husband could cancel his credit cards and disable his phone. He took us to the police station and was willing to stay with us for time well beyond the original tour guidelines. He was absolutely amazing and professional. We will recommend him to anyone we know heading to South America. We were so grateful for his care.

Dear Raylene and Frank, thank you so much for your wonderful review. The pickpocketing incident was unfortunate but, as you saw, Ecuador is safe overall and worthwhile visiting. I’m glad you enjoyed and appreciated my work and hope you’ll recommend me and Ecuador.

Hi there! I'm a passionate tour guide and explorer with nearly 15 years of experience working on cultural projects, museums, and heritage spaces in Quito and Ecuador. Over the years, I’ve explored mountains, trails, and hidden routes leading to the Coast and the Amazon—by 4x4, bike, public transport, or even on foot! Living in the Central Andes has allowed me to connect deeply with indigenous communities and nature. Besides classic tours like Otavalo, Mitad del Mundo, Quilotoa, Papallacta, Mindo and more I also offer unique journeys with a fresh perspective, taking you beyond the ordinary into stunning, lesser-known landscapes. Traveling is about experiencing, not just visiting.
