I absolutely lived Quito and everything about this package! The drivers were friendly and helped me practice my Spanish. The hotel room was comfortable, the hotel staff was nice, and the included breakfast was pretty good. My favorite part of the package was the city tour. Vicki was such an amazing guide! She taught me so much about the history of the city and the country. I cannot believe the quality I got for the price I paid; the package has a great value, and I highly recommend it!Show more
