There is a benefit to having a guide, having everything prepaid for and ready for you and following their tight schedule. There is no way Nathan and I would have been able to hit all of those places in one day on our own. This tour for instance we went to Windsor, Bath, Lacock and Stonehenge. But large group tours are great for times when you are short on time and want to explore a lot of places at once. I totally understand! Not being on your own schedule can be a little frustrating at times. I know some people do not like the idea of large bus style group tours. A tour by Premium Tours from London that hit Windsor, Bath and Stonehenge. We looked at numerous tours on Viator, there were so many places that we wanted to visit and so little time! We finally found a tour that stuck out to us. The thing I most like about my work, my passion, is meeting lovely people like you, makes it all worthwhile.We knew when planning our London trip we wanted to spend at least one day outside of the city of London. I suppose you are now back home in your Chicago far suburb probably in snow. Every time I use it I think of you and always will, feel close. You were so nice, so caring, to offer and do it. Thank you so, so much for bringing my much needed new iPhone to me saving me a thousand dollars over buying one here. TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Jim, you and lovely Kathy are as nice a people as I have ever met. We made a stop at the fruit market, what an great intro to the wonderful food in the area. She is fluent in English, understood our concern with saying safe and healthy, managed to provide so many unique experiences. It gave us a look into the city and culture. Wow, Vivian is fantastic! We spent a busy day viewing sites of Quito we asked for an many more that she thought we would be interested in.

You were three of the smartest young people I have met, and I am sure will go far in life. I was so happy you found me so I could give you good advice, off and on for several months, before you arrived, stop you from six DAYS in Lima where you would have been totally bored after two or three. I guess you three are back in university in Nova Scotia after you went on from me to Peru and Machu Picchu. She's extremely informative & makes you feel at home. After, we drove to Mitad del Mundo to see Pululahua Volcano & stand on the Equator line! I've been on many vacation tours and none have compared to Vivian's. During our day we toured Old Quito: visiting Iglesia San Francisco (& museum), the Gold Church, eating chocolate at the best shop (she has great food recommendations!), and standing at the top of the Virgin of El Panecillo.

She actually, yesterday, duplicated the shrimp soup you had at fabulous LA LLAMA.īest wishes and my love always and Mother's too, I hire her to drive my SUV so we don't have to look for nonexistent parking, don't waste time, more efficient touring, see more, and she likes the little extra money. I LOVED being with you two and my Mother, who is better than a Quito cab driver because she and the city grew up together, who drove us door to door, has talked about you here at home. We would highly recommend Vivian! She is very knowledgeable and an overall fabulous tour guide! We went to a great foodie spot for lunch & we invited her to join us to learn more about Ecuadorian cuisine. Vivian's knowledge of historical Quito & Ecuador was amazing. She picked us up at our hotel & had a driver. In advance of our 27/05/22 customized tour, she sent a very helpful list of things to know.

You were wonderful to work with from our first letters and turned out to be the great people and travelers I thought you would be. You and Kn were wonderful to tour, to be with. We went everywhere in Quito and Vivian is a wealth of information, best tour guide EVER! We appreciate her thoughtfulness and Helprin us stay healthy while traveling. Vivian was so thorough she brought soap to wash the fruit and carried hand sanitizer to be extra careful. We especially enjoyed the local market, and trying all the different fruits that we had never seen before. Vivian, what can I say, she is absolutely THE BEST! Her day tour of Quito was informative and fun. Tour: #268655, Gaylene Moore Airport Pickup and Best of Quito Private Tour, Quito, Ecuador Date: Jan 4/23
