Fabian’s Quito

Daniel_E, Sep 2025

Fabian was a terrific guide, on time, courteous and extraordinarily knowledgeable. He was equally at home leading us up the mountain as he was discussing monetary policy and Ecuador’s shift to the US Dollar. He displays easy and deep knowledge of every area of Quito and surroundings. This was a terrific excursion led by a terrific guide.

Highly recommend

Fantastic tour by guide Fabian and driver Cesar! They worked at our pace and made the experience very enjoyable. We (4 of us) had traveled to Quito before starting a Galapagos excursion. Having arrived a few days early, we booked this private tour to see the city on our own and not with a group. Covid protocols were followed. Safety was never in question. The van was comfortable and well air conditioned. Cesar did a great job driving on some very challenging roadways. Fabian is knowledgeable, approachable, friendly and a pleasure to tour with. Food and drinks were not provided. Entrance fees were included. Highly recommend.

Response from Host, Aug 2021

Hi, thank you very much for your feedback and 5*, very kind of you. We're really sorry for food and drinks, it was some kind of an error. We should have foreseen this, sorry... Have a nice day!
