5.00What a beautiful city! Nestled in a valley among highland Andes, Quito has much to offer! The tour company was extremely accommodating, changing times to meet my arrival needs, and because I was a single traveler, the guide offered to take me to a few extra places since we had the time. The guide Marco has excellent English and is extremely polite and engaging. The cable car view is beyond spectacular and should not be missed. The view rivaled famous Table Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa! The church visits were even more interesting because my visit coincided with New Year’s Day, and many locals were attending services for 2026 blessings. The Middle of the World is more of a checklist thing, but if you have the time, why not? You’ll travel an additional 40 minutes each way. The one improvement I would suggest: a clear understanding from the guide of how the day will go. I wasn’t sure if there would be a chance for lunch, so I brought snacks. Turns out we toured straight through! I’m sure if I would’ve said something the guide would have accommodated me, but it all worked out and I enjoyed an early dinner upon my return to my hotel. Overall, I am thrilled I took this day tour of the city. I would’ve missed out on so much culture and beauty!
Great Quito city tour.

5.00The experience was perfect for our single day in Quito. We enjoyed all of the big attractions, even though it could have taken 2+weeks to do the city well. Carolina was our tour guide and she was wonderful. She accommodated our pace and was able to help us find food that Met our dietary restrictions.
Trip to Ecuador, Galapagos and Amazon Rain Forest over three weeks.

5.00Patricio, the owner, of Ecuador Color was simply amazing. I was amazed by his knowledge, enthusiasm and organization skill. He was also very patient with our needs or lack of walking pace. He did not hesitate to help out any member of our group who needed assistance. Very impressed with him.’

5.00This was a lovely excursion around the main sites of Quito. The gondola and small hike was great with a beautiful view of the city in the background. Carolina is vastly knowledgeable about the local floral and fauna. The trip to old town Quito is a must to see the wonderful colonial architecture. The old churches are absolutely amazing. The trip to Middle of the World is a must that you will never regret. The tour includes an overview of the biomed of Ecuador.

5.00Gustavo is an outstanding tour guide, excellent in every respect. He was very knowledgeable, personable, and quite creative in our timing (which was affected by the visit of the Peru president), Can't do better than him.

5.00This was a great way to see many of the popular sites in Quito! My guide Kathy was so friendly, is an excellent driver (also has a very clean vehicle), and is extremely knowledgeable and willing to share so much information about her beautiful country. We visited the Intiñan Equator Museum, Teleférico, Basílica del Voto Nacional, Independence Monument, Basilica of San Francisco, and topped the tour off with a chocolate tasting and the best brownie and hot chocolate. Kathy is very patient and also happens to be a great personal photographer. I highly recommend taking this tour of Quito with Kathy.
