While the cable car was the expected highlight the lunch stop at a local market made the trip memorable. So very good and fun to see the activity in the market. Hugo spent quite a bit of time learning about what we liked so he could pick the right spot. Well done.

Danny was an excellent guide. His English is excellent. Very knowledgeable on the history of Quito and surrounds. The visit up the cable car was stunning with the views of Quito and the surrounding mountains and volcanoes. The visit to the winged Mary was very inciteful. The walking tour of the old city was at a comfortable pace, seeing some wonderful churches and learning the history of the rebellions, which lead to the independance of Ecuador.
