Estefania was a wonderful tour guide. She shared great information with us and we really enjoyed the tour. Highly recommend!
Had an amazing time. Really informative, entertaining, a great welcome to Quito
Our guide Oscar was amazing, and it was a great introduction to Quito.
My wife and I travel the world full-time. We love the GuruWalk tours and take them in every city across the globe that offers the tours. Today we took the "Free Quito Walking Tour, candies/chocolate/ ice cream tasting & Spanish Lesson" with Tefa. From the start, Tefa was personable and engaging. It was clear that Tefa is proud of Ecuador and her city of Quito and she wanted to share the history of both with us. We were so impressed with her command of Ecuadorian history specifically, but equally impressed with her knowledge of surrounding South American countries and how Ecuador and South America's history overlaps with world history. Tefa's command and usage of English was equally impressive. Tefa is a consummate professional and without doubt one of the finest GuruWalk tour professionals we have ever met in the world!
Alles super Oskar war super vorbereitet aber zu viele Stops für das degustieren
Oscar muy atento, fue muy ameno el recorrido y muy buena información.
Oscar was a very passionate and enthusiastic guide. He answered all our questions. I would definitely recommend this tour!
She was fantastic, knowledgable, with great energy and attitude. This unexpected tour became a highlight of our trip.
Tefa was a brilliant guide in Quito and we had a wonderful tour with her! Great historical insights into the old town and the history, plus fun stops at local street food locations and a delicious chocolate tasting at the end. Friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly loves her city. Highly recommend!
Andres war ein wunderbarer Guide! Man hat ihm seine Leidenschaft für die Geschichte und die Kultur der Stadt und des Landes angemerkt. Er hatte so viele detailreiche spannende Geschichten zu erzählen, die er immer eingeordnet hat. Das Highlight am Ende: die Schokoladenverkostung.
Andres was an amazing guide. Knew Quito and Ecuadorian in and out and gave so much color into the country's rich history. He kept it at a great pace and couldn't have had a better guide for an intro to Quito.
Our guide, Oscar was super friendly & knowledgeable, providing insight into history and also giving us lots of recommendations for the rest of our time in Quito. We really enjoyed all the different tasters of various local goods during the tour. Thank you for a great afternoon!
Tefa was great! Super flexible and adapted to everything we needed. She’s passionate about her work and knows so many historical facts about each location. Kind, easygoing, and made the tour fun for everyone. Highly recommend!
Oscar was a great guide, he shared a lot of information with us and showed us the most important places in the historic centre. The tastings were great and the tour was very enjoyable.
Tefa was a great guide! Very friendly and informative, very good energy and great vibes. Thanks for the wonderful tour!
Oscar was a great guide! He was easy to talk to, friendly, informative, and funny. Anyone wanting a walking tour around the historical center should go for it.
I can't believe how much I learned about the customs and history of Quito. I couldn't have been more satisfied. Way beyond what I expected.
Oscar was an amazone guide. I had problems with getting to the start point due to traffic, but that was no problem, sinve he waited patiently. We also went over time, which obly was a plus. Interesting story tælling overall!
This was possibly the best walking tour I've ever been on. It lasted over 4 hours and honestly felt more like a professional tour than the usual generic walking tours you get in major cities in Europe. The chocolate tasting was worth the tour alone, let alone other tastings, the history told and questions answered. 100% recommend.
Oscar was very friendly, knowledgeable and able to adapt the content to the interests of the group. We thoroughly enjoyed our day with him and highly recommend to everyone who is keen to learn about Quito and feel comfortable navigating around the Old Town.
Tefa is an exceptional Guru who provided a wealth of information. She is very professional and courteous and we all enjoyed her tour.
Oscar was great! He is not only very knowledgeable and shares a lot of information with you but he is also a beautiful person and human being and his mindset is definitely in the right place! We truly enjoyed our tour with him, he was patient, calm, happy to answer any questions and showed us around with no rush. Thank you Oscar for such a nice afternoon 😊🫶
Very informative and great fun
Estefania was an energetic and knowledgeable guide who was very engaging and had lots of fun surprises planned for us throughout the tour. She was also very adaptable to our group, and even helped us get a good price for Ecuador jerseys during the World Cup!
Seeing as how I love candies, chocolate, and ice cream - this tour seemed a good fit for me. And yes, we stopped at some shops and restaurants for tastings = very yummy. But the tour was more than eating. I learned a lot about the history of Quito, some historic buildings, and meanings behind gargoyles and crosses placed outside churches. Tefa also took us to a small grocery store that sold produce and said the shop owners don't rip off tourists here. Same price for all. We stopped to talk to an elderly lady on the sidewalk selling taxo fruit for about 15¢ each and I bought a few to eat later in my hotel. I also made a few purchases of candies and returned to the ice cream shop later to buy a cone. I highly recommend taking this tour.
