Very educational and fun at the same time. Be prepared for the ride on the top deck of the bus…cold and bumpy.

Great day, easy pace,...
Great day, easy pace, great guide! Wonderful start to our Ecuador trip. Visiting the Middle of the World interactive exhibits and the chocolate tasting were highlights.

Educational and fun!
Great educational experience in the middle of the world. 😁 Be aware that balancing an egg on a nail can be done anywhere in the world. It’s a myth to think that latitude 0 would increase the chances.

Excellent host but too touristy!
Our guide, Christian, was wonderful but it focused too much on touristy things and not enough on the downtown. We would have loved to see a market. Talked about the Ecuadorian culture maybe even shopped a little downtown.

Old town with a friend
Daniel was an amazing guide & resource for this full day tour in Quito. He tailored the day to our interests, was a wealth of knowledge and even took us to a pharmacy before returning us to the hotel. He kept a running conversation so we were never sitting in silence. Great guide!!

We were having trouble...
We were having trouble with the altitude and our driver and guide , Paul and Lucifer, adjusted our tour to meet our needs. They were super accommodating. Paul was an amazing driver, negotiating tight turns, and tiny streets with ease. Lucifer was so knowledgeable about the Country, city, local customs, flora, etc. Both had great senses of humor and were warm, friendly and went above and beyond expectations. We highly recommend using them in your travels.

Mitad del Mundo was great! Tour did not include Casa Agave as listed
The tour bus was really nice - double decker. Things seemed quite organized at first and we got handouts with schedules and everything. The info given on the bus was great
The tour at the Intinen Museum was AWESOME! I learned so much and it was genuinely super interesting.
It was confusing to figure out how to get from the museum to the Mitad del Mundo monument. We had to do this on our own and the guide gave brief instructions, but I still got lost. There weren't really signs to guide you.
The reason I give it 4 stars is because on the Viator description, it says my tour was supposed to include some sort of agave tasting at CASA AGAVE. The original bus guide even mentioned this that some tours included this. It seemed like you could pay for a cheaper version that only included the museum + monument. The guide told us to meet at the meeting point near the monument at 5:30. The driver was about 10 minutes late and I started to worry that we were in the wrong spot, but the bus eventually came. Then, the bus sat there for another 10 minutes before departing (not sure why). I assumed the driver would take us to the final spot on the tour CASA AGAVE, but I eventually realized he was just taking us all the way back to the meeting point. He didn't talk to us or ask any questions about which tour people were doing.
I don't really care about missing the agave thing because I don't even drink, but it seemed like I should have paid less for the tour if that wasn't included. Or maybe there was a miscommunication with the bus driver. Either way, it was confusing.

Diego was a fantastic...
Diego was a fantastic tour guide! We enjoyed our day tour in beautiful Quito. He was very knowledgeable of the area and also provided us with some history of the area as well as surrounding provinces. His English was perfecto!

Full day of Quito highlights
There is a lot of traffic in Quito, so driving around does take some time. Our guide and driver, Diego, did a great job.
