We had a wonderful day visiting many beautiful sites around Quito! We climbed to the top of a cathedral tower, had a chocolate tasting, and visited the center of the earth. We highly recommend this tour.

We had an outstanding tour today with Gustavo as our guide! Gustavo was extremely knowledgeable about each place that we visited and provided historical and cultural background information which we greatly appreciated! He also knew which order to make our stops so that we moved from one to the other smoothly without wait times or much traffic. Overall we had a fantastic day and highly recommend this tour with Gustavo!
