You’ll get some amazing insight into Quitos history, you’ll learn from a local and get the behind the scenes look you never thought you could. Mauro is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate and not only will you learn a lot but you’ll get the best views in the city, from every angle, visit the best stores, get the best recommendations and have the best time. An absolute must!
