Gr8 tour with guide David Ecuadorian tour guide - David our guide's geographical & historical knowledge was outstanding, very good English, and was genuinely interested in making our experience the best that it could be! Would recommend him to anyone, both experienced and new travellers! We did 2 tours with David, as you'll see in pics. Quito City, Equator cultural experience and visited the Virgin of Quito and breathtaking view of the city! The other tour was a full day tour to Otavalo ponchos Market, a short walk around Quito city, saw how the biscuits were made and ate with goat's cheese. Then had this amazing potato soup for lunch that came with a half avocado n while listening to an amazing violinist who actually played Men At Work's Down Under! Sad l never took pic or recording of him!

A curated Ecuadorian experience that goes above and beyond... - I had the benefit of going on a solo tour of historic Quito, teleferico and mital de mundo with David, THE Ecuadorian Tour Guide, in April. Tours are available everywhere, but TRUE intimate knowledge of the sites, the State of Pinchincha and the country as a whole is rare. David provides this in earnest, along with steering, guiding and advising about any and every aspect of your travel experience in Ecuador. I happened to be flying to Galapagos the day after my tour with David, and turns out... it can be a tricky process. There were several steps I had not considered, but despite the fact that he was not involved in my Galapagos booking, David ensured I was ready and prepared for my Galapagos flight and my experience on the islands... he did more for me than my Galapagos tour agency did to prepare me for my trip. My tour with David itself was fantastic... I requested a few items that were off-tour, which he gladly accommodated, and he very knowledgeably guided me through the portions of the tour that were planned. If I'm ever in Ecuador again, I'm booking the entirety of my tour experiences with David, The Ecuadorian Tour Guide. 10/10!!!!

Wonderful one-day tour of Quito - This was a perfect one day tour that combined a walking tour of the old city, gumbos chocolate tasting, and a drive to the middle of the world and a beautiful view of a volcano crater. Juan was an excellent and knowledgeable tour guide who tailored the day to us. Highly recommend.

Great tour of Quito with a knowledgeable and personable guide - We had a great, all-day tour with David. Although the weather wasn't cooperating with us, we made the best of it. We loved David's flexibility when we wanted to see some of the local markets and local culture while still seeing most of the sites of Quito. Make sure you try some of the homemade local cheese, it's very tasty. Again, David was very personable and knowledgeable about Quito plus tips regarding our other destinations (Amazon and Galapagos. We highly recommend him,

Quito/ Galapagos - Landed in Quito the evening of the 1st March. Decided at the last minute to book the Full Day city tour. We wasn’t sure if we would get a next day tour but David replied by 6am the following morning and was at our hotel to meet us at 8.30am! and yes we where so so lucky. David is a great guy professionally and personally, knowledgeable without overload! and just wanted to know that we were happy with everything and we were enjoying ourselves. You can tell he really enjoys what he does and gave us so much information about Quito. He went above and beyond what he needed to do, also helping us with our checking in and paperwork at Quito airport for our onward journey to the Galápagos. Great guy and would have no hesitation in 100% recommending him and I will definitely be recommending him to people that I know are waiting for my return journey to the uk to see how my trip was before booking theirs to Ecuador. Thanks David for all your knowledge and help ;) Luceen & Martin

Outstanding! - The full day tour with Juan was outstanding. After an on-time meeting we headed to Old Town, which is a must see. Juan's knowledge of the history and architecture added to the tour. You learn so much more on a private tour and much can be accommodated to your interests. The ultimate treat was lunch at El Crater on the edge of the Puluahua volcano - one of the best Ecuadorian meals you will have. Highly recommended tour - it will not disappoint!
