Lovely tour by Gaby. We chatted on the TbyL site about what we wanted and having read a review we asked to include some tastings. The tour was interesting with some fun facts included and the tasting parts were really good. Gaby was also super helpful with restaurant recommendations and lots of other information. Highly recommend Gaby as a guide.

Gabriella was engaging and very knowledgeable. She knows the city and was a delight. We felt like we got to not only see the sights but understand a bit more was in meant to be Ecuadorian. Highly recommend

We highly recommend Gabby for a tour in Quito. We requested a combined walking tour of old Quito and tasting tour. She put together a perfect itinerary for us, which we enjoyed very much. Gabby was knowledgeable, adaptable, organized and personable. The Basilica, the Iglesia Compania (golden church), and the chocolate factory were highlights. She made the day more fun by infusing her information with “secrets” and “surprises.” After our tour, she sent us information about a concert that night at the golden church. It was a great day!

We had a great walking tour with Gabriela and would highly recommend. Her English is very good and she is very knowledgeable about Quito and engages very well by asking you some questions. She was also very flexible and changed the listed activity to something that we requested instead - Chocolate tasting!

Gabriela and her excellent driver Gustavo gave us many wonderful experiences in and around Quito in our three days with them. Gabriela was very flexible to accommodate my husband's physical limitations, without sacrificing the essence of the tour. Her knowledge of history, plant and animal life, local culture and food, and the beauty of this mountainous city and region was rich. Many favorite highlights to list--Mindo and the cloud forest, hummingbirds, butterflies, orchids, the Golden Church, the market.

We had a fantastic day in Quito thanks to Gabriela. She was knowledgable and attentive and showed us everything we wanted to see. The 5* rating does not apply to toursbylocals. I had a lot of problems logging on and little help was forthcoming despite them claiming to be available 24/7.
