5.00It was a great trip. Very informative and if you had 1 day in Quito to do a tour this is the one to do. Beautiful views from the top of the cable car. Luis our tour guide was so nice and friendly.

5.00Jose our private tour guide was amazing. He is a local from Quito and showed us all the key historic and equator sites and mountain and city vistas. We highly recommend this tour!
Absolutely recommended for anyone who wants to experience [city] individually.

5.00In March 2026, we did a three-hour private city tour with Jorge Sandoval. The visit to the cathedral was special. Wonderful view over the old town from the tower. Our guide was very personable, competent and could answer all our questions.
If I could rate this tour 6 stars, I would.

5.00Wow! This tour was incredible. The guide, Jorge, was absolutely amazing. He was very knowledgeable and fun! We had smooth transitions from all activities. He handled all of the admissions, so we were able to turn our brains off for the duration of the tour. Our group had a great time, one of the best tours I’ve been on! If you have one day to spend in Quito, highly recommend booking this tour. You’ll have a great time, eat yummy food, and meet some amazing people.
The Perfect Quito Day

5.00This was literally the perfect quito day trip! My friend and I, both girls in our 20s had a great experience. I never felt rushed during any aspect and felt like we got to see and do so much! I highly recommend this tour because not having to deal with paying for any admission fees is very convenient. And the tour guide was very easy going, we had one other couple with us who spoke spanish and felt like we all were included knowing and what’s going on. Our tour guide was also communicating with us prior to day trip, and was able to accommodate a hotel that wasn’t on the list and accommodate pick up times too. Thank you!!!!
Quito is Beatiful

5.00I came to Ecuador on a family trip from New York and decided to do this Quito city tour, even though I didn’t know much about the city before visiting. It was a great way to see a lot in one day. The views from the cable car were amazing and visiting the Middle of the World monument was really cool. Walking through the historic center and seeing the Basilica was also a highlight. Our guide was funny, friendly, patient and really made sure everyone was enjoying the experience. If you’re new to Ecuador like I was, this tour is a great way to learn about Quito and see some incredible sights.
Highly recommend!!

5.00This tour is completely worth every cent!!! especially if you’re only in Quito for a short amount of time whether that be for a layover or a 1-2 day trip and you still want to see everything that Quito has to offer. Our guide Jorge was super personable, patient and kind. He was also very knowledgeable so you learned a lot on the tour about the places that you were visiting and not just going for the pictures but also getting a piece of history. We got to see so much of Quito and its main attractions such as multiple churches in the old town, chocolate tasting, rode the cable car, visited the middle of the world and more. All of this was done in a day under eight hours. This Tour saves you the headache of trying to figure it out by yourself, gives you an enriching background of the history and culture & it makes the transport to the places that you’re visiting comfortable and convenient… I highly recommend this tour.
Great Tour!

A great tour with a special guide

5.00I was the only person on this tour so was able to pack the day to cover the main sites in and around Quito with a few foodie stops as well . Especially loved visiting San Francisco , the neo-gothic Basilica , learning about the history of Quito and the square .. and enjoyed a special artisan chocolate tasting there . So good ! We also stopped for lunch at a local restaurant so I could try the Quito famous ‘hangover soup ‘ . Jorge was great at tailoring the day to my requests . I was sad that the weather did not allow the trip in the cable car or the crater visit ( we pulled into the volcano site and the rain and fog were so heavy couldn’t even see the car park entrance !) …but Mother Nature is Mother Nature . The 0.0 latitude line and museum was more interesting than I’d expected . A museum guide took over and his tour was full of interactive challenges and interesting experiments to watch . Recommend this tour and Jorge as a guide. I learned so much from him and i believe it truly matters to him that his guests enjoy their day .
A Great First Day in Quito

5.00The full day Quito tour was a great way to see the main local sight of Quito at the start of our trip. The museum at the true equator was fun instead of going to the monument. We did a number of experiments that can only be done at the equator including balancing an egg on a nail. Jose was a wonderful tour guide. We went up the TelefériQo, saw the sights of old town and went chocolate tasting. We really enjoyed the tour
