8 of us arranged for a private tour when to make the most of our one day to spend in Quito. Pablo was wonderful! To start, he was patient with our tardiness starting the day we'd all gotten in well after midnight. Then, he was so knowledgeable about everything, from history and culture to Ecuador as a country to restaurant recommendations. He spent extra time with us, ensuring we had a great lunch experience and walk in the old town. This was a perfect introduction to Ecuador.
