Hi, I am Elizabeth I am from Quito - Ecuador in the Middle of the World, I am a local and national Tour Guide. I have been working as a guide 10 years, I traveled around Ecuador and I discovered many awesome places in my small but beautiful country. I can show you the most touristic and beautiful places, but I would like to show you too the lesser known places. I can individualize each tour based on what you want to see. I will tell you about the history of Quito and Ecuador and I can describe how the life is here. If you need I also can give you some recommendations for places to visit, restaurants, shops and public transportation. I love my city and my country I wish that people know this small country to love like me. Ecuador has 4 worlds in a small space, we have mountains, beaches, jungle and Galápagos island, It is a lovely place. I can customize a tour for you based in your interest, all my tours are very flexible, I love my job and It is very important for me that you feel happy and know a little bit more about Ecuador, so that is my main goal. I recommend you VISIT ECUADOR and feel alive again, It is an amazing experience. I am a certificate guide inside of Ecuador. I am a National Guide I am not licensed guide to climbing to the top of the volcanos, I can guide just until the refuge

Elizabeth was very knowledgeable about the plants and animals we encountered. All the activities we did were amazing

This was my second visit to Quito and my second time with Elizabeth as my guide. She was able to perfectly customize my tour so that we did not repeat any of the activities I had done previously, and to focus on the things I most wanted to do (birding, visit the Mindo area without going to the regular "tourist" stops, etc.). Elizabeth's communication before and during the tour was excellent and timely, she and her driver arrived promptly at our hotel for pickup, and were great conversationalists throughout the day. Elizabeth has been doing this for many years and seemingly knows everything, including the names of many of the birds we were seeing in the cloud forest. Highly recommend.

My friend and I really enjoyed our private tour to the Mindo Cloud Forest with Elizabeth and her capable. driver. She was great with communication ahead of time, was knowledgeable about the birds and animals and ecosystems, and she was attentive to our specific interests. I’d definitely hire Elizabeth for another outing. It was a pleasure to spend the day with her.

Our group of 6 adults had a very interesting and wonderful tour with Elizabeth. She spoke very good English and was very knowledgable about her country. The van driver was also very good and the van was comfortable and roomy for our group of 6. We visited a butterfly farm, got to feed hummingbirds at a hummingbird sanctuary, had a interesting and yummy tour at a chocolate factory and a delicious lunch. We opted to go to an orchid garden instead of the waterfalls and cable car. Which we had found interesting and enjoyable. Overall I believe the tour exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend Elizabeth.

We had an excellent day out with Elisabeth. The tour was tailored to our interests and Elisabeth was very informative and a lovely person. The hummingbirds were a highlight. We highly recommend Elisabeth as a guide. She speaks good English and her passion for her country is evident.

Elizabeth did a great job on this tour. We did a couple of different ones with her while we were in Quito. She had a friend drive so that she could focus on guiding. We saw a lot of really interesting stuff. Only negative is that the road to the Cloud Forest is windy and narrow, and sometimes we had to go around slower vehicles, and it was a bit more excitement than we wanted. Overall, worth the time and the long drive. Recommended :)
