Best first day & guide in Quito!

We booked 2 tours with Ecuador A Color, and our guide Pato made both days unforgettable! This was our first tour with him and I can highly recommend it as the first thing you do in Quito. Pick up and drop off at our hotel was included and greatly appreciated. As an added bonus Pato’s picture taking skills are great, so now we have more memories of our 2 days. - It was quite a diverse tour starting at the Santa Clara market where we had an education in the amazing fruits, vegetables, flowers and other goods of Ecuador. - Next our ride up the TeleferiQo cable car to the east side of Pichincha volcano is not to be missed! It was a great altitude preparation for our next day at Cotopaxi. - Back in town we toured Plaza Grande (Independence square) and enjoyed lunch at La Vid in a beautiful historical building overlooking the plaza. - Then we went to the Basilica of the National Vow where we went up into the towers for great views over the city. We can highly recommend booking tours in Quito from Ecuador a Color, and wish we had more days to spend touring with our new friend, Pato, in Quito!
Amazing jam packed day!

Had an amazing time. I really enjoyed experiencing Quito. The views from the top of Telefonica were spectacular and Pato took great pictures of me on the swing overlooking the city. I enjoyed seeing the old city and it was great getting to the equator. I only had one day in Quito and I’m glad this was the tour I picked.

Pato is one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met. He has so much knowledge about the area and had an answer for the million questions he asked. His tour is absolutely a 10/10.
