What To Expect
Basilica del Voto Nacional
Quito city tour is perfect for seeing fascinating panoramas, churches, domes and roofs that have an important historical value. You will admire and learn about colonial art, architecture, culture, legends, and traditions. Quito, the capital of Ecuador, was founded in the 16th century on the ruins of an Inca city and stands at an altitude of 9.350 feet. Despite the 1917 earthquake, the city has the best-preserved, least altered historic Center in Latin America. The architecture and rich interiors, are pure examples of Quito School of sculpture, which is a fusion of Spanish, Italian, Moorish, Flemish and indigenous art. After four incredible hours exploring the Old Town, you'll understand why Quito was the world's first city named to UNESCO's Cultural Heritage list. Our first stop is Basilica church. You'll see a true example of neo gothic architecture style.
Plaza de la Independencia (Plaza Grande)
The main square of the city, Plaza Grande, is surrounded by the main buildings of the country: the Cathedral, the Presidential Palace, the Archbishop Palace as well as the City Hall.

3 Hour Quito tour

5.00Juanito was outstanding. He spoke very good English and called to alert us that he would be 10 minutes later due to traffic. Very knowledgeable about all aspects of Quito. We did the 3 hour tour of the old city and several churches. The churches were amazing and we were told that local artists were trained to do all the amazing sculptures inside and out.
Our host was a lovely woman and took us to all the important places. It was enjoyable to talk with her & learn more.

A wonderful tour of Quito with Ivan

5.00My family took this city tour with Ivan as our guide. Ivan was right on time to pick us up from our hotel and started the tour with the The Virgin of the Panecillo lookout. He told us lots of interesting stories about the statue and the city while walking from one viewpoint to another. We then proceeded to explore the historic center with all its beautiful churches and governmental buildings. Ivan was very adaptive to our requests and shaped the tour to our interests. At the end of the tour he suggested an absolute gem of a lunch place. That meal was our best in Quito! Thank you, Ivan, for the great tour of Quito!

4.00This tour turned out to be a quick stop in Quito because I was going to Las Lajas Sanctuary in Colombia. To say the least Ecuador really amazed me! I wish I would have had more time to stay. I was fortunate enough to be able to go to two main sites Middle of the World (had some delicious Fritada in the square) and Basilica of the Vow. I was told the tour only includes the historical center, since I wanted to tour Middle of the World then we would only make a quick stop in the center's basilica and skip the rest of stops from the original itinerary. I had to pay additional for the change in itinerary and for my pickup outside of the city center- near the airport (in cash). I truly enjoyed it but it was definitely pricier than I anticipated (in comparison to another tour I had the following day- full day). My tour guide was Fabian a quiet Quito native.

5.00We had a great day seeing keto today and learning so much about the history of this area and the country. We would like to set up a tour for next Saturday, December 7 to go to the Mindo rainforest and would like to have Danny as our guide if that is possible. Please communicate with me by email or text so that we could set something up. We will be staying at the same hotel Windham, at the airport

5.00We had a wonderful experience with Donny. He was great at sharing the highlights of Ecuador and Quito seeing the views experiencing the old part of the city as well. Even dealing with all of the traffic to and from our airport hotel, he was amazing. We would like to, set up a visit for next Saturday, December 7 to visit the Mindo rainforest. Preferably with Donny as our guide. Please contact me by email or text if that is something that we can organize.
