“Excellent tour”

The tour with Vivi was really refreshing and full of interesting places. She gave us a lot of information; we did multiple delicious tastings and even danced a little. Three and a half hours seemed like a lot, but even in the bad weather, as there was a lot of rain, we really enjoyed every minute. We can only recommend this tour, especially with Vivi as a guide.

“Lots of samples, and info”

Kevin was our guide, full of interesting facts , about the city, its buildings and the country in general. We stopped for food samples in 4 places, with no pressure to buy. Tour last about 3 hours. We had already been in Quito for 4 days but learned lots!

“Quito Historic Walking Tour ”

Our guide Daniel was very knowledgeable and informative. He gave us very good insights into what we saw and experienced. Example-when we were at the “Basilica of Voto Nacional” my wife called it a Cathedral. Daniel said “No that is a Basilica, do you know the difference between a Basilica and a Cathedral”? Of course we all said no and Daniel explained “Basilica’s belongs to the Vatican in Rome and Cathedrals belong to the country that built them”.

“Best Walking Tour I’ve Taken”

This was a great walking tour of Quito. You got to see and experience so much in just a short amount of time. The historical sites that Fernando took us to and taught us about covered everything from culture, food, politics, and history. He was a great guide and his English was excellent. I appreciated all of the stops we made and did not feel pressured to buy from any vendors. He gave great recomendations for places to eat, museums, and other activities to try while in Quito. Highly recommend!

We toured the old city, stopped at several important sites,and heard the history of Quito and Ecuador while enjoying a few tastes along the way. We covered a couple of miles going up and down on some steep streets, but also stopped for a couple a rests. Vivid kept us well entertained the entire time. Highly recommend.

“A wonderful morning exploring Quito”

We Really enjoyed our morning finding out all about Quito. Our guide Malena was excellent and so knowledgeable, her passion and enthusiasm for her city really shone through. The tour is not just about history but also has loads of stops along the way to show Ecuadorian culture, like the art museum and craft shop along with a traditional dance display and lots of tasty food stops. 10 out of 10 would recommend to a friend!

“Super god oplevelse”

Min kæreste og jeg havde den bedste tur rundt i Quito. Vi så virkelig meget flot arkitektur, smagte deres nationaldrik og spiste flere lokale specialiteter. Alt i alt en virkelig god tur, som vi kan takke vores søde guide Daniel for!! Vi var så heldige at have ham for os selv, og havde så meget på hjerte. Han lærte os om det lokale sprog og var nysgerrig på at lære os at kende, og så var han virkelig sjov at tilbringe dagen med!!

“Gracias ☺️”

El free walking tour genera un ambiente muy solidario entre los turistas, favorece el intercambio con la guía. Realmente un recorrido que vale la pena. Sugeriría que se fortalezcan recomendaciones de lugares de comida locales u otras actividades a los turistas. Todo excelente.

“Great Intro to Quito!”

Kevin was my amazing guide for this tour! He messaged me through the FreeTour app the day before to confirm and give me some advice on what to bring with me. Kevin was very fun and knowledgeable! He taught me a dance and let me try all kinds of little snacks, sweets, ice cream, liquors, and chocolate along the tour. His English was fantastic and he answered any questions I had. This is a great way to get a good introduction to Quito and especially the old town. I highly recommend it!
