Rate this a 5 star, Eliza and the driver were great. Informative from both and they let us choose which order we wanted to see the attractions. The driver took no chances and we felt very safe.
Eliza gave us a great day out while we were in Quito. She picked us up from our hotel (she had a driver for the day) and talked to us on our way to Otavalo, telling us a lot of interesting information about Ecuador and Quito. She came round the market with us in Otavalo and gave some very helpful advice. We went for a short walk and to visit a gallery where we were shown how the indigenous people make their beautiful clothes and artworks. We had lunch together and were finally back at our hotel about 5.45. Eliza went out of her way to help us find a particular item, stopping at a supermarket especially. Altogether a great day out. Do not hesitate to use Eliza as your guide.
We got to spend a wonderful few hours getting an overview of the old town and seeing many interesting viewpoints. We were lucky to have a nice clear night and had great panoramas of the city. Eliza gave us great and interesting information throughout and really catered to what we wanted. It was a great tour!
We visited a hummingbird cafe about an hour and 15 min away from downtown Quito. It was an amazing experience. The hummingbirds would land in your hands and eat! The cafe also had great empanadas. We spent about an hour there and then moved on to the cable car. Along the way Eliza was great about passing along interesting details and answering any questions that we had. The view from the top of the cable car was incredible. Overall, it was a wonderful day with Eliza!
