Day Touring Quito

5.00Spent the day on a jam packed tour of Quito to include many sites and a very nice local restaurant for lunch. Jonathan was a great tour guide with tremendous knowledge of the area and region and accommodated our needs to be back so we could catch a flight to Guayaquil. Would highly recommend him to those who would like a better understanding of the area and an interest in seeing the key sites.

5.00We booked this private tour, and enjoyed every minute of it. Best of all was our wonderful tour guide, Jessy. From the moment she met us at our hotel, she outlined the day's activities, but also inquired of our particular interests so that she could tailor the itinerary to suit our interests. Prior to the meeting day, the tour operator, Travelers Magic, reached out to confirm the time and pickup location. We started the day with a drive to the beautiful Basílica del Voto Nacional, and went all the way up to the exterior for a magnificent view! On the way, Jessy gave us a lot of insightful information about the church, Quito, itself, the history of the region, and customs of its people. Thereafter, we went to old town where we tasted some local sweets before a formal chocolate tasting. We moved on to the cable car to make our way up the mountain for a picturesque view of Quito city. Spectacular! Jessy took us to the “Columpio en las Nubes,” an area with two large swings where you can feel like a child again while high above the city. Our tour concluded with a visit to Mitad del Mundo, ir the Equator. When we arrived at the visitor’s center, we joined a small tour group. The visit was highly entertaining and informative! Throughout, Jessy offered to take as many pictures as we wanted. We also had a tasty lunch. We recommend this tour. A professional, responsible company. Excellent tour guide and driver! Thank you!

5.00Jeff provided an amazing welcome to Ecuador and Quito with an activity-packed day that included major sites and unique things to do. We visited middle of the world, Yumbos chocolate, the gothic church and the golden church to name some. Throughout the whole day, Jeff was excellent and extremely friendly, providing additional information throughout and making the day most enjoyable. I would highly recommend this activity to anyone spending a day or more in Quito, especially with the option to personalise it. I would also highly recommend requesting Jeff to lead this tour for any individual or group.

5.00Jonathan was an amazing guide. Very knowledgeable and personable. We learned so much about the city of Quito and enjoyed the little challenges along the way. We weren’t able to do the cable car because of bad weather, but Jonathan more than made up for it and took us to see a volcano and we got some amazing views. I definitely recommend.
