Elizabeth was able to customize the tour according to my interests/schedule, and was able to pick me up from and drop me back off at the airport with her driver. Perfect way to spend time with a long layover. Very friendly and explained different information which was great!

We had a wonderful day with Elizabeth as she showed us around her spectacular city. Elizabeth was kind and friendly and very knowledgeable about the history of the places we visited, adding additional information all day as we walked around. Elizabeth answered all of our questions and took into account the fact we were extremely tired after an arduous 40hr journey to Ecuador. She listened to our wish list and found us wonderful empanadas when we requested these for lunch. It was wonderful to have Jorge as our driver, this meant he could drop us directly at locations then collect us when we were done which limited walking for my husband who was suffering with altitude sickness. It also meant we could take additional bags and leave them safely in the car whilst walking around. Highly recommended!

Elizabeth was a great guide for my one day tour of Quito. She adapted to my specific interests and was fun of interesting stories about all places we visited. The car and driver she used to get us around was very comfortable and pefectly coordinated drop-off and pick-ups throughout the tour.
