I am a fairly cheerful young man and lover of history. I really like culture in general, one of my hobbies is photography, although festivities and gastronomy are also among my favorites; For the last year I have worked as a guide and now I continue independently :)

Tour description
My mission is to try that everyone can fall in love with the Historic Center of Quito in the same way that I did.
Along the way we will visit churches such as:
- The Basilica of the National Vow with a impressive neo-gothic style. You can admire its architecture from the outside and, if you wish, climb one of its towers to enjoy a panoramic view of Quito (additional entrance).
- El Sagrario is a beautiful example of 18th century Quito baroque architecture.
San Francisco whose abundantly decorated interior and rich history make it an essential visit in the Historic Center of Quito.
We will also visit important places to understand the foundation and independence processes such as:
- Plaza Grande : We will walk towards Plaza Grande, the heart of the Historic Center, where you will find the Metropolitan Cathedral, the Carondelet Palace (seat of government) and the Archbishop's Palace. You will be able to enjoy the colonial architecture and possibly witness the Changing of the Guard.
For dessert we include tastings of Ecuadorian chocolate, traditional sweets and typical alcoholic beverages.
We invite you to discover the colonial town with me in one of the most relaxed and entertaining tours.
