The tour with Daniella was amazing! She was very friendly and had a very good knowledge about the city. The spots were great, local food, little restaurants, markets with fruits and at the end a very nice café where we had a coffee and chocolate. Thanks a lot for the great experience!

Nico, our guide, was fantastic. We got to hear about history, see churches, and eat native food. Food, drinks, and transportation are included. Quito is at a high elevation, so make sure you are comfortable with the altitude before taking this tour, as you will be walking most of the time.
