🥇Quito's Historic Center 🤩 Small and large group experiences, History, gastronomy and the most important sites😃

We had an absolutely incredible walking tour in Quito with Alejandro, and honestly it ended up being one of the highlights of our time in the city. First of all, he went above and beyond before the tour even properly started. We were running late (by quite a bit!) and he patiently waited for us for over half an hour without any pressure or stress. That immediately set the tone for the experience: relaxed, kind, and genuinely focused on making sure we had a great time rather than rushing through a checklist. What was meant to be a walking tour turned into more than four hours of exploring Quito together, and not once did we feel like he was watching the clock. Alejandro has an incredible depth of knowledge about the city - its history, culture, food, traditions, and everyday life - but he shares it in such a natural, engaging way that it never feels like a lecture. It felt more like walking around with a very knowledgeable local friend who loves his city and wants you to see the best parts of it. One thing we really appreciated was how flexible and attentive he was to our preferences. At the start, we mentioned that we didn’t really want to pay for entrance tickets to attractions, and he respected that completely. Not once did he try to upsell or push us toward paid sites. Instead, he tailored the entire experience around free viewpoints, beautiful streets, local spots, and hidden gems that we would never have found on our own. He also introduced us to so many local stores and restaurants along the way where we were able to try free tastings, from traditional treats to local specialties, and by the end of the tour we were so full we didn’t even need dinner! It felt like such an authentic way to experience Quito’s food scene, and it was clear he has strong relationships with local businesses. Everywhere we went, people seemed genuinely happy to see him, which says a lot about the kind of person he is. Another highlight was how relaxed the pace was. At one point we stopped for hot chocolate at a café and he was completely happy to just sit, chat, and let us enjoy the moment without any sense of rushing. That flexibility made the whole experience feel personal and easygoing. Alejandro is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also genuinely warm, friendly, and easy to connect with. By the end of the tour, it honestly felt like we had spent the afternoon with a friend rather than a guide and we even caught ourselves saying we missed him the next day, which probably says everything you need to know. If you’re considering a walking tour in Quito, I cannot recommend Alejandro highly enough. Whether it’s your first time in the city or you want a deeper local perspective, he will tailor the experience to you and make sure you leave with a real appreciation for Quito.

Raso's instruction was pleasant, interesting and instructive. Highly recommend

Rasu was a great Guide. Can highly appreciate his tour!

Rasu was great. He explained a lot of history and showed me good places, including churches, shops, and the best views of the city. It was a rainy day today, but it didn't interfere with a great tour!

Alejandro fue un guía fantástico. Nos guió con gran pasión por las calles de Quito, ayudándonos a apreciar la belleza y las delicias culinarias de la ciudad. Se nota que ama su trabajo y nunca se cansa. Si buscas un tour a tu medida, él es la persona indicada. Gracias, Alejandro.
