Hello! I'm Christopher, a local guide passionate about showing the true essence of Quito. For three years, I've been accompanying travelers from all over the world to discover the magic of my city: its streets full of history, its hidden legends, and its corners that only a Quito native would know. I love that each tour is more than just a walk: it's an experience where you can feel, taste, and live Quito as if you were part of it. On my tours, I combine historical facts, curious anecdotes, and authentic recommendations, so that at the end of the day you'll take home not only incredible photos, but also memories and new stories to tell. Why choose me? - I know the city from its most authentic side. - I adapt to the pace and interests of each group. - I always strive to make each traveler feel safe, welcome, and part of the experience. If you're looking to discover Quito in a friendly, entertaining, and unique way, it will be a pleasure to guide you. I look forward to seeing you and exploring the jewel of the Andes together! “The traveler sees what he sees, the tourist sees what he has come to see.” Gilbert Keith Chesterton
