2.00Luis was my guide and seemed most interested in getting the tour done in as short a time as possible. The pickup time was changed from 8:30 AM to 8:45 AM but didn't find him waiting in the hotel lobby until almost 9 AM. We didn't climb one of the towers in the national basilica as indicated in the itinerary. We did not go anywhere for lunch. No water was provided even though the emailed directions from the operator had not included to bring your own water. He told me we would be done by 2 PM. When I pointed out it was supposed to be approx. an 8 hr tour, he said to take it up with his boss. I picked this tour based on the rating and number of reviews. I requested a partial refund of the $185 but was told $30 was all allowed. Not sure if I will get it. Clearly I made a mistake in my selection.

5.00My tour with Jorge was fantastic. He knew Quito well, shared helpful historical context, and avoided the crowds. I especially enjoyed climbing the steep ladder to the top of a church for incredible views. We skipped the cable car because of a thunderstorm on the mountain, but Jorge quickly adjusted and took me to another spot that was just as rewarding. He stayed focused on safety throughout, which made the day smooth and enjoyable. I also loved the freshly made Quito-style empanada filled with cheese and topped with sugar—delicious. Jorge was flexible and accommodating—exactly what I wanted on vacation.
A Perfect Tour Thanks to Jorge

5.00Our full-day tour of Quito was absolutely amazing, and a huge part of that was our incredible guide, Jorge. From the moment the tour started, he was welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about sharing the history and culture of Quito. Jorge went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable and engaged. He explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and made each stop feel special, not rushed. His knowledge of the city, from historical landmarks to hidden gems, truly made the experience unforgettable. What stood out the most was his kindness and attention to detail—he made sure we had great photo opportunities, answered all our questions, and even shared local tips that made the rest of our trip better. If you’re visiting Quito, I highly recommend this tour—especially if you’re lucky enough to have Jorge as your guide. He made the day perfect!
Jose was an amazing...

5.00Had a fantastic time on the Full Day City tour. Jorge kept us informed prior to the tour and Jose was an exceptional tour guide. Jose had to improvise some due to the Good Friday festivities in the historic district but overall it was an exciting, fun-filled and very informative day. The views from the top of the Teleferiqo were amazing. The history learned at La Mitad Del Mundo was interesting. Highly recommend the tour. If ever back in Quito I wouldn't hesitate to ask for Jose by name.
An amazing day in Quito learning so much about the culture, history and great food!

5.00We decided to book the tour privately for the two of us so we could adapt the itinerary (skipped the Teleférico) . Our guide Luisfer was so knowledgeable, easy going and fun to share the day with. Paul, our driver, was also a pleasure and he would magically appear in the car when needed. Luisfer was so helpful, allowing to adapt the tour for our interests (skipped Teleférico) and our request to shorten one planned tour stop and lengthen another. His english is perfect and his historical knowledge made this such an engaging fun day with lots to learn. Was really interesting to leave our tourist area in the old district to see outside of central Quito. Definitely book with Luisfer!
