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.

Our family greatly enjoyed our time with Elizabeth, seeing the bustling Otavalo market(go on a Saturday), a nearby area focused on leather, and a nice short hike to a waterfall. She was very patient, encouraging our family to enjoy a small zip line at the park containing the waterfall at the end of the long day. Highly recommend Elizabeth!

Elizabeth was fabulous, she brought out to Otavalo, where we were joined by an indigenous lady who shared her traditions with us and answered our questions. On the way out of town we stopped at a waterfall outside on the way to see a traditional weaver, where we were able to see indigenous weddings! We finished our day in the "leather town". We were able to comfortably leave bags in cars and she had great English and answers to all our questions!

Elizabeth is the best! Her demeanor is kind and friendly. As important, her knowledge and love for her country is exceptional. I would work with Elizabeth again -- any time, any day! She is a wonderful tour guide.

We had the most incredible day with Elizabeth and truly cannot recommend her enough. This experience showed us a side of Ecuador that you simply wouldn't see on a typical tour, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our entire trip. She curated such a thoughtful, authentic day that felt truly a once-in-a-lifetime, and we're so thankful for the experience she gave us and for all the wonderful people she introduced us to along the way. It deepened our appreciation for Ecuador in a way we'll never forget. We hope our paths cross again someday!
