What travelers are saying

"We spent two wonderful weeks touring several of the best destinations in Portugal & Spain with a group of 16 people. Our guide (Fredy) was from Spain and intimately familiar with the region, including its rich history, attractions, and food/beverages. The tour was well-paced using a combinations of private vehicles (small buses and cabs), trains, and an airplane ride as well as a fair amount of walking to get around these two beautiful countries. We extended our stay in Lisbon to see more attractions and took a side trip to Fatima, Obidos, and Nazare that was also excellent. Would have liked to have a bit more time in a couple of the cities, but we'll just have to plan another trip!"

Quito Tour Selection Trips

  • Beside the historical centers, Quito has several offbeat and artsy neighborhoods that are worth checking out, but it’s best not to go alone.
  • Ecuador uses USD (United States dollar) as their currency, so know that all prices are listed that way. You may receive back some Ecuadorian coins, but the values are the same as US coins.
