Guillermo gave Toppshelff and I a wonderful and informative 2 day tour of Quito and surrounding areas. He also took us to the actual Equator museum which is next to the glitzy tourist Equator site. We never would have seen the "real equator"! Guillermo also took us to relax at his home while we had to wait for our flight and introduced us to his wife Christina. He speaks excellent English and is working very hard to improve his French. His transportation will handle 1-7 passengers as he has access to a regular Taxi and a 7 passenger van. I feel that I have a true friend in Ecuador now that I have met Guillermo. Anyone with questions feel free to email me!
