Our guide was very helpful in creating a wonderful experience our first day in Quito. He was knowledgeable, nice, and adjusted the your to pick us up at the airport and being sure our luggage was always secure. He even waited as we had trouble checking into our AirBnB. He went up and beyond.

We enjoyed our tour with Juan Pablo immensely. He tailored the tour to meet our abilities and desired locations. He was prompt picking us up at our hotel. He thought ahead to be sure we visited the sites when weather (viewing opportunities) were at their best. Juan Pablo was responsive via the app's messaging feature. He was knowledgeable about Quito; he was a careful driver; he was kind and accommodating.

This tour was a lot of fun, and Juan Pablo made sure we'd have a great day. It was a nice combination of art, history and nature. We've got much more on this tour than if we'd go to Mitad del Mundo on our own. Juan Pablo knows a lot about history and art of Ecuador and it was great to have a conversation with him about this topics.

I did a few tours with Juan Pablo while in Ecuador and had a great time on all of them. Juan Pablo is a great guide and just an easy going and nice person to be around too. He was always very responsive and timely, which is a big plus too. The Middle of the World and Museums Tour was an interesting day out and definitely worthwhile if you have a few days in Quito. We also had a really good lunch close to the Middle of the World monument.
