Traveling alone, I felt very blessed to have Natalia as my guide.  I felt very comfortable with her from the moment she picked me up at the airport and took me to my hotel.

Two days later she picked me up and had a wonderful tour of Old Town Quito and Mitad del Mundo.  It was an especially fascinating day as it was Good Friday and we witnessed the amazing procession.  Natalia was so knowledgeable about Ecuadors history and present day situation, the indigenous people,  geography, and climate.  I had many questions and she answered them all.  

Much appreciated was her kind and caring nature- knowing I was having a bit of altitude sickness, she bought some coca candy for me and I felt instant relief.  She also assured that I had a safe connection to the airport the next day.

Natalia was a wonderful guide and if (when!) I return to Ecuador, I will request her services!

Thank you,Natalia !  I had a wonderful time in Ecuador and Galápagos!

I thought Natalia was an excellent guide. She was fun to be with and you can tell she enjoys her work. She knew the history/culture very well, during the Quito tour.  She could always answer any question I had while in Quito. We stopped at various places along the way to Otavalo market, to sample fruits of Ecuador, see towns & native people and Panama hat making. I would highly recommend Natalia Pesantes if you are considering a guide for Quito & surrounding area.
