Superb guide, who had to make his commentary in two languages... Visited some wondeful sights and got to see in half a day a lot of the city... Highly recommended...
We visited all the beautiful churches, we walked along the narrow colorful streets of old town Quito, we admired the view of the city from the Panecillo hill, I enjoyed the tour very much.
Everything was very punctual. Guide was very well knowledged. Only isapontment that this was a Spanish and English tour (2 English speaking and 6 Spanish speaking). Although the guide tried to allocate his time, the Spanish speakers won!).
Guide absolutely fabulous great knowledge and fun but other than churches little to see in the town, disappointing.
Old town Quito is beautiful! I was quite surprised they had amazing architecture, very charming and quite interesting. The tour guide Karla was very good, knowledgeable and very friendly. She had to conduct the tour in both English and Spanish since we were the only English speaking group. They were also very prompt in picking us up from the hotel.
We really enjoyed the tour! Pick up was on exactly on time, the bus was clean and well maintained, and our guide Carla was knowledgeable, personable, and informative.
Very informative guide, just enough time to see everything, including the Changing of the Guard at the Presidential Palace - that was one of the highlights of our trip. Excellent!
When I was at the plaza there were bands playing and quite a crowd, so the people watching and music were really fun. There's also a nifty statue in the center with some great symbols of Ecuador, like the condor breaking the chains of servitude.
The guide was excellent. Very informative and courteous. We are elderly travelers and appreciated the extra consideration.
We went on a Sunday morning and therefore couldn't get in some of the churches due to mass being held. The churches that we did see were beautiful.
Excellent guide and driver and good overview of city, its historiy and attractions.
