Overview of your Quito tour

When I was a child I used to go to the churches of Quito to hear mass. A "Espumilla "was never missing. As I passed in front of the cathedral, the legend of the Cock of the Cathedral came to my mind and when we visited San Francisco the idea was to look for the missing stone in the Atrium, it was part of a great legend of Quito. We took the opportunity to buy the food of the week in one of the colorful markets where everything smelled fresh. The city has grown but the historic center is a photograph stopped in time.

Gus was very knowledgeable and accommodating, and had a great sense of humor. We had a lovely day, and he helped make our short visit most memorable. Highly recommended!

We had an incredible 3 days of tours with Gus. His knowledge is truly top-tier; he provided engaging insights into Ecuadorian history, culture, and nature, I don' t think there was a question he could not answer. What we appreciated most was his flexibility—Gus seamlessly adjusted the itinerary whenever we wanted to grab a local snack or linger longer at a specific site. If you are visiting Ecuador, I highly recommend Gus.

We had the best time with Gustavo on our tour of Quito and the surrounding area. He was such a friendly guide who took us everywhere we requested along with a few surprises of things he thought we might like. He had wonderful telescope equipment and binoculars to help us see things from view points, told us so much history and interesting facts and was a pleasure to spend the day with. He was kind, interesting to talk to, punctual and always flexible throughout the day to make sure we were happy with the tour. I highly recommend taking a tour with this wonderful guide!

Gustavo was a fantastic tour guide who deeply knows Quito and the surrounding areas. We went to many places before they were crowded making for really enjoyable experiences. Would highly recommend Gustavo to anyone looking to explore Quito!

I have used Tours By Locals on many trips. Gustavo was one of the best guides I have had the pleasure of spending time with. He was very attentive to my interest and several times recommended something that I had not even thought of and every time it turned out great. I cannot imagine having anywhere near the amazing experience I had on this trip without Gustavo as my guide. It felt like I was hanging out with a very good friend that was showing me a part of his country he is very proud of.

Gustavo was a great guide and would definitely recommend. I had issues with my flight and arrived late, but Gus worked around it and was flexible. Tour was great and both Middle of the World and Quito are worth seeing. Very beautiful city to visit. Gus was very knowledgeable about the city and the history of Ecuador. Wish I had stayed longer and explored the mainland more before heading to the Galapagos. Would have done an amazon trip also.
