Fantastic tour guide! A private tour that touched the history of Quito. Our guide spent more time on our points of interest and a wonderful place for lunch. Perfect!
This tour was amazing! The tour guide Omar was very friendly and knowledgeable. He was very patient with us when climbing the Andes mountains, I wore too many sweaters which made the tour more difficult. The climb is difficult but well worth it, the views are amazing! We filmed and took many photos. After the climb Omar took us to a delicious restaurant, then after we ate he took us to a walking tour. Omar explained to us about the history of Quito. Please tip him!
