We had an amazing time with our guide Henry around old Quito. We were provided with options to choose from and our guide was very knowledgeable and was able to answer our random questions and satiate our curiosity. My favorite part was going to the Virgen Maria and my girlfriend's favorite part was the chocolate. I highly recommend this tour, you won't regret it!! Thank you :)

This tour was absolutely amazing - I went with my mom who is in her mid 60s and we both enjoyed it so much! Jhonny is so knowledgeable and is incredibly kind. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is looking for a wonderful experience touring the city! The chocolate tasting was incredible and the local food at the end was a perfect addition to the tour! Everything was seamless and he even was great about us making multiple stops along the way off the itinerary! Thank you Jhonny!
