Awesome experience with Guide Gustavo! - My adult daughter and I visited South America for first time. Gustavo was our guide for Quito city, Cotopaxi and Quilotoa. Gustavo is a safe guide, knowledgeable, helpful, prompt. We customised our city tour to try local food. It was an awesome experience of getting to know the city with local guide Gustavo. Would highly recommended Gustavo!

Layover in Quito - Gustavo met us at our hotel during our short layover in Quito and drove us to Mitad del Mundo & Intinan Museum. As a bonus, he gave us a quick tour of some Quito highlights, before dropping us at the airport. We appreciated his commentary and answers to our many questions. All in all, a very informative half day tour.

Very informative, punctual, and congenial guide Gustavo - Gustavo took our group of two couples on tours on three consecutive days. First was an afternoon tour of central old-town Quito. The sights he chose for us were based on our input when setting up the tours, and were amazing: old wonderful churches, the main squares, the Panecillo, and finally evening dinner. the 2nd day we were driven to Mindo and experienced the amazing hummingbird attraction, the cable car ride and hike town to a waterfall in the high-altitude jungle, lunch in town, tour of the butterfly attraction, a demonstration of chocolate production, and La Mitad del Mundo. On the 3rd day we were taken to Cotapaxi National Park, up to the parking area below the refuge, then down to the lagoon where there and along the park road coming down from Cotapaxi the park guide spotted numerous wildlife for us while Gustavo helped identify the birds. Throughout all 3 days Gustavo was a fountain of information about the area's history, culture, and daily life and we learned a lot from him not only at the attractions but also while driving from one place to another. He spoke great English and was always punctual. We (my wife and I) would definitely recommend hiring Gustavo as your guide!

Wonderful tour of Quito! - We had Elizabeth for a whole day tour of Quito old town, the pallion, teleférico, middle of the world, and the Basilia National. She was so kind of knowledgeable, we REALLY enjoyed our time with her! We felt safe and learned so much during our day. We liked the tour enough that we asked her husband Gus to drive us to the airport the next day. I highly recommend their services for and around Quito!

Amazing Day in Quito, Ecuador - Gustavo made my day trip to Quito one for the memory books. He picked me up at the airport and took me to various sights in Quito. He is a wealth of knowledge. He shared details about the culture, the lifestyle, and the many places we visited and was quite familiar with Quito He prepared me for each stop before arriving and took his time to share stories about each location. His knowledge is unmatched and I would strongly recommend anyone who wants a tour guide who really cares about his guests to give him a call. Gustavo was polite, friendly and never made me feel rushed. As a first time traveler to Quito, Gustavo made me feel at ease and always took his time to make sure I had what I needed. I will certainly look forward to working with Gustavo on my next trip to Ecuador. We already discussed various locations he will tour guests to and I am planning to come back and go to other locations with Gustavo Many thanks to Gustavo. Job well done!
