Mauro is an incredible guide in Quito and beyond. He offers plenty of current and distant history that makes new folks more familiar with what makes this city worth visiting. Highly recommend.

The guide was fantastic, super knowledgeable and very accommodating to our needs. Took us around the city, hidden gems that you wouldn’t find online. Amazing to see what Quito had to offer

Easily the best guide and experience! I have traveled to quite a few countries and have done countless tours. No one has been as friendly and kind, knowledgeable and accommodating and passionate as Mauro! If you visit Quito or Ecuador you absolutely must do this tour with him. 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!

Mauro was our guide on a day trip to Cotopaxi from Quito. He was very knowledgeable and easily shared interesting information about Quito, the volcanos and surrounding areas. He had a good sense of humour and made everyone feel welcome. He was encouraging and made sure that everyone in the group was doing well during the short but challenging hike. He also knew a lot about the flora and animals. I would recommend Mauro as a tour guide!

Awesome tour, Mauro was great. We went through most of the city in just a few hours and stopped for some great chocolate tasting as well.

Mauro is FANTASTIC!! This was the best tour! He knows a lot of history! It was a bit challenging, but not too much. So much excellent information! I highly recommend this amazing tour!

Ecuador is my 34th country and my first in South America. A one week solo trip for my birthday turned into moving there for about 6 weeks to fully take in the country and it’s wonderful people. I initially met Mauro on an organized tour but was so impressed by how knowledgeable, kind and organized he was that I ended up booking multiple private tours with him for the duration of my prolonged stay. I have asthma and, while I LOVE hiking, it has been a little challenging for me ever since I caught Covid in 2021. My lungs have never quite been the same, but Mauro was extremely patient and accommodating and I throughly enjoyed all the experiences I booked with him! He really listens to what your interests are and makes sure you get to see what you planned to on the itinerary; his genuine love for Ecuador and his job truly shows. Being a woman travelling solo, i'm always cautious especially with all the buzz going on about Ecuador right now; I truly felt safe and comfortable my whole time in Ecuador and have made some wonderful friends (including other travellers, my Airbnb hosts and super personable tour guides like Mauro). In addition to his positive energy, knowledge of the region and super kind demeanour, his pricing is very reasonable and I had a much better time booking privately with him than I did with the larger companies. While I normally prefer group organized tours to meet others while travelling, many of the other travellers I met in Ecuador were running into similar issues with the larger companies that seem to be operating as a monopoly under different names and showed almost zero knowledge of hospitality basics when interacting with tourists 😬 The routes Mauro chose for his bike tours were not difficult and are fully customized to your own capabilities and preferences. I was pleasantly surprised with how much easier biking in Quito was than I’d anticipated and we got to discover so many cool places we would’ve probably driven right by if on a bus! Not to mention it’s a carbon free way to explore the beautiful city. Ecuador is such a STUNNING country with so much to offer; don’t let the news and bad business practices and terrible customer service of the larger tour companies prevent you from exploring this beautiful place, meeting some of the kindest people and probably making wonderful lifelong friends! Of course it’s always wise to be aware of your surroundings when travelling solo but booking a tour with a kind, knowledgeable guide like Mauro makes the whole experience so much more seamless. Highly recommend both Ecuador as a destination and Mauro as a guide! And as a bonus Mauro takes wonderful pictures and videos for you and will help you practice your español. Muchas gracias mi amigo! ☺️

This is as honestly the best tour I’ve ever been on (and I have travelled full time for the last 4 years being digitally nomadic so I’ve done quite a few). Mauro was not only super kind and chill, but extremely knowledgeable about Quito, the history of the city and the country in general. I learned more than I could have imagined riding with him. We rode 25kilometers which was incredible, but he can adapt to your level of riding you’d like. I really feel like I got a good feeling of the city and was able to understand the terrain and layout really well with this length. He took me up the church spires and we even had a mini chocolate tour with delicious chocolates and coffee to keep us going on our ride. Do not hesitate to book with Mauro, will definitely recommend to all my friends and family visiting Quito.

We have a wonderful day with Mauro! Just the two of us. We thoroughly enjoyed our day riding through the old town, seeing churches, the chocolate tour was fabulous. It was the perfect mix for us. Great hearing from our guide about the city and the people. We were very impressed with Quito. If you have a chance, do this ride! 👏✅👍🙏

Sooo fun, what a great way to see the city. Mauro is a chiller and a fountain of information. Showed us some great spots

We spent a fantastic half day with Mauro doing a city tour of Quito. Which we had prebooked. Mauro arranged to meet us and arrived with good bikes and helmets and gloves. We spent the next few hours exploring Quito which was great. Mauro is very knowledgeable and the cycle was pretty gentle - a few uphills but otherwise mostly flat. And with cycle lanes almost the whole route. The tour ended with a chocolate tasting and delicious hot chocolate. A perfect was to explore the city and at a decent price too. We loved it and would certainly recommend Mauro if you’re in town and wanting to see the sites.
