Excellent Quito Tour with Ricky - We had such a good experience with Ricky! He is very knowledgeable and accommodating. He made sure that we saw everything we wanted to see and constantly checked in to make sure we had access to water/food/restrooms when needed. He had a lot of interesting information to share, which really enhanced the experience of visiting Quito’s famous spots. Overall we had an excellent experience and would definitely recommend booking a tour with Ricky!

An unforgettable day in and about Quito. - Ricky introduced us to Quito with all its facets as well as the local cuisine. We were excited about his knowledge of the history and architectural styles of churches. In sunny weather he could show us all volcanoes and name them.

Experience Quito authentically & sympathetically - We had a great day with Pamela! She showed us the highlights of her city and also responded to our wishes.
She speaks very good English, so you can follow her very well even as a non-native speaker. After the first tour, we immediately agreed on a second tour with her.

Great tour, great guide! - Took a tour with Pamela and she was a fantastic guide! We could tell she wanted us to have the best experience possible and was flexible when weather shifted our plans a little bit. She was kind and the knowledge she shared was extensive, we learned a lot. Had fun too! She was also gracious enough to take photos for us throughout the day.
I would highly recommend a tour like this for experiencing the city of Quito. Grateful we found it and met Pamela!

Extremely pleasant and interesting! - Our tour guide, Pamela, enhanced our first visit to beautiful Quito tremendously. First day we walked Old Town area: Basilica del Voto Nacional ( unique gargoyles!! ) and climbed up to the top for amazing views and explanations of how the city was settled. She showed us the largest Nativty scene - it was stunning as it must have been 40 ft long, moving parts and even clouds with falling rain! We walked many of the Old Town Streets but at our pace and stopping at sculptures or shops, eg.
The next day we drove to the Middle of the World and visited the Monument as well. Many fun things to learn here ! Pamela is an expert regarding the history, flora, and fauna- her enthusiasm and love for Ecuador taught a us to love and appreciate Quito and all of Ecuador! Muchas Gracias Pamela!

The best walking tour I’ve be on. - The private food walking tour through Quito, Ecuador with Pamela is one of the best guided tours I have experienced. She is very knowledgeable and gave us a well rounded tour of local dishes and drinks. For the amount of food we ate, the price is reasonable and well worth it. She also knows the local history and areas of interest. I highly recommend her and her tour company. You will not regret it. I also recommend going hungry.
