Hi! I'm Alejandro, and my friends and I are a group of guides who love a good laugh while showing you Quito. 🇪🇨 🤝 We're a group of passionate friends. Depending on the day, your guide will be me (Alejandro), Razu, or Geovana (all certified guides), but always with the same energy and confidence. Come experience the Historic Center, learn about our history, taste our flavors, and enjoy the activities we've prepared for you. Our main goal is for you to enjoy the city, and that's why we've developed different tours for you, including the Historic Center, the Middle of the World, the cable car + traditional market, and Quito legends and stories. We also offer tours throughout Ecuador.

Because we operate at 4,050 meters above sea level (13,287 ft.), your safety and the best views are our top priorities. If you see a cancellation notice, it's solely due to weather conditions; please chat with me to confirm the real-time weather forecast!
