Tour of Quito and The Middle of the World! Fun, informative and educational!

5.00My wife and I had a fabulous tour! Freddy was our guide and he was excellent. He picked us up at our hotel on time and was very personable and knowledgeable. Our first visit was to the Virgin of El Panecillo statue in Quito, where he shared lots of history and explained what we were seeing in the Great view from below the statue. Then we went to old colonial Quito to tour a square, see a few churches, learn about the founding of Quito and it's history with Spain, indigenous culture and traditions and much more. I wanted to make a point of seeing La Compania de Jesus Church and Freddy made that happen and shared lots of history about the church, the order and it's benefit to the community. Our final destination was The Middle of the World at Intinan, which was quite educational and fun. Lots of activities to experience the science of the equator. My wife and I highly recommend this tour and Freddy as a guide!

5.00We had a wonderful day with Cesarin as our guide. Saw the beautiful churches by the plaza. Ate a delicious lunch and visited the Middle of the World museum which was so amazing! Cesarin speaks English very well and explained history and customs to our private group. Recommend him highly!

5.00I spent a lovely day with my guide, Reuben, during this private tour. Touring this way is much more enjoyable than in a a large group! We had great conversations about Ecuadorian history and culture, current events, food, and life in general and shared some good laughs, too. It was a wonderful way to see some sights outside of the city and to also explore the historic downtown. I would highly recommend spending a day in Quito touring with Reuben!

Quito's highlights with a delightful driver

5.00Booked online via TripAdvisor & we got picked up on time @ our hotel. Our driver, Freddy, was great. Took us to iconic statue of Our Lady of Something w/fabulous views of city, then on a walking tour of old colonial Capital buildings & churches with lots of Baroque architecture. Final stop was Middle of the World Monument where we stood in both hemispheres & he took our picture. Dropped us off in plenty of time to clean up B4 our flight home. A lovely way to spend our last day in South America.
Fredy Best Tour Guide

5.00Fredy was an incredible tour guide! He gave us an excellent tour of Quito’s Historic Center and El Panecillo (the Angel on the Hill), and his knowledge of history was truly impressive. He was insightful, engaging, and made every stop meaningful and memorable. He also knew all the best spots for amazing local food, which made the experience even better. This was by far the best tour we’ve had—absolutely worth it. Highly recommend Fredy to anyone visiting Quito!
Perfect day that felt like hanging out with friends.

5.00Angela and Jamie were fantastic for our day tour of Quito. It felt like hanging out with friends for the day. It was interesting to get both their perspectives on Ecuador given their different backgrounds. All our stops were excellent and we really appreciated the airport pickup as it is a long way into the historic center from the airport. We will definitely use their services if we come back to Ecuador to explore more of the mainland.
Perfect Day

5.00We had an absolutely wonderful day with Jamie and Angela! Their knowledge and passion for the Quito area made the tour so much more enjoyable. Every aspect was perfect. We even added a delightful coffee stop to the tour. I highly recommend this tour or any ran by them. We saw chocolate, churches, and the middle of the world, not to mention lunch at a quaint authentic place in the heart of the old city.

5.00Wonderful day with our guide Freddie who is well educated about the city’s history and the country’s culture. Our day was felt like we were connecting with an old friend. Everywhere people unsolicited told us he’s the best and my wife and I couldn’t agree more.
