5.00Fantastic experience. It was only the 2 of us and we could completely tailor make our plan. Very knowledgeable and kind guide, would 100% recommend this tour. He also took us to a market we had been wanting to go to that was not in the itinerary because it was only us 2! Loved the equator and all the experiments you do there.
Great time in Quito!

5.00I had a great day exploring the city of Quito with tour guide Nathaly and driver Oswaldo. We stopped at many places including Pululahua geobotanical preserve, Intinan equator park (lots of interesting information learned here!), a walking tour of the old part of the city including stops to view the inside of a couple of basilicas, as well as stops for lunch and a chocolate treat. We finished our tour with a stop to see the statue of the Virgin of El Panecillo where we had a great view overlooking the old city. I highly recommend this tour and appreciated the knowldege and friendliness of our tour guide, Nathaly, and the driving skills of Oswaldo. Nathaly took a group video and pictures that she shared with the group at the end of the tour which added a nice touch. Gracias!
A perfect introduction to Quito and Ecuador

5.00This tour covers a lot of ground in only one day but it’s so worth it. From starting at the Basilica to finishing at the equator (official one and unofficial one), Alejandro was a fantastic leader through the day. I was in a small group of 5 but made friends with them and Alejandro. His wit and eduction of his country and places we visited or passed by were appreciated. I had a limited amount of time in Quito, and thankfully this tour captured so much from one side of the city to the next. I learned a lot and was comfortable all day. It was also a nice surprise to unexpectedly run into Alejandro the next day on the way to Otavalo. Take advantage of this full day tour if you have the opportunity!
A varied and interesting day trip
