A really lovely tour of a lovely city, with an excellent guide! I was the only person in the tour but still had a great time, not awkward at all and went at a good pace for one person. Food and drink tasted was also very good. Thank you!

I had a wonderful tour with Vivi, it was just us too. So there was a lot of time for me to ask questions about Ecuador and Quito. Vivi is a lovely guide and has a lot of knowledge. Just be aware if you go on Sunday a lot of the stores are closed, so it’s also a different ambiance. The route was beautiful and you got to see a lot of the city and the architecture. Totally recommendable

I spent a fantastic 4+ hours exploring Quito with Alejandro. We walked past all the major sites, as well as some less-known places that I wouldn't have found myself. Alejandro was very knowledgeable and shared a great range of stories and information with me. We visited various shops to try local foods, a fantastic free gallery, and ended with some chocolate tasting. Since I was the only person booked, we agreed to meet at an earlier time to avoid the rain which was much appreciated. This tour gave me a much better understanding of Quito and lots of recommendations for places to return to. Thanks so much Alejandro!
