Top Quito Day Trips

It was a great experience, you can tell that the guide Paulina has many years of experience and loves what she does. She is a very warm person and the attention we received from the agency's message days before was very attentive. We learned a lot of things, they offered to take photos of us, they were very patient, and Paulina went at a perfect pace to climb to the first refuge safely. We were lucky that the volcano cleared up for a while. Everything is beautiful!! 100% recommend

We loved this tour! We toured the Mindo cloud forest and stopped at a hummingbird sanctuary. Out guide (Andres) was very knowledgeable and friendly. We particularly enjoyed the hummingbirds, 100s of them flying around with their metallic feathers glistening in the sunlight. Such a great experience and a wonderful introduction to Ecuador’s diverse natural world!

Very beautiful experience in Baños! The day was filled with interesting facts and surprising anecdotes, with magnificent places to discover and delicious dishes to taste. A big thank you to Irene, our guide, for her kindness, her good humor, and her infectious energy. She made this excursion even more pleasant thanks to her jovial attitude and her fascinating explanations. I highly recommend this experience!

The itinerary was very flexible and I chose to do more wildlife watching instead of the coffee and chocolate tours. There were lots of hummingbirds at Alambi that fly right up to your hands to feed and there was a coffee producer that will show you the coffee plants and how they prepare their coffee beans. We stopped for lunch at Tia Eloy and they nicely made a vegan ceviche and saw some toucans and a woodpecker nearby. We then went to the museum at Tulipe and saw another Toucan and some parrots. The displays at the museum were mostly in Spanish, so a translation app would have been helpful. It was October 2026, and it wasn't the best time to see birds, so there weren't a lot to see, but that happens with wildlife. Overall, still a good tour.

I had a fantastic time on this tour with David! It was a complete and dynamic experience, combining adventure, history, culture, and great food. David is a professional, knowledgeable, and engaging guide who made the entire day enjoyable. I especially appreciated his willingness to take photos and tailor the experience to my pace, particularly given the altitude. The highlight was taking the TelefériQo up Pichincha Volcano and swinging on the famous Swing in the Clouds, with breathtaking views over Quito! It was an unforgettable experience, and I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Quito. Thank you, David, for such a wonderful day!

Jorge and Jonathan were amazing on this tour. I am so grateful I was able to get in booking this so last minute (within about 12 hours of the start time of the tour). Communication was great and they picked me up when they said they would pick me up. You can tell Jorge loves his job and wanted to ensure we all had a great time....and we did. The hike up was very challenging. I feel like I am a pretty active person and this was even challenging for me. The constant encouragement from Jorge made the difference! He was also very mindful of checking in with us regularly to make sure we were feeling ok (altitude adjustment, etc). Jonathan navigating the streets in Quito plus the drive up to the parking lot of the start of the hike was impressive. He's truly a skilled driver! I would highly recommend trying this tour. We had a great time! Restaurant for lunch was great too. Great view and food for a very low price. It's an experience and views I will never forget! It was a nice way to end the day!

Very good tour and well worth the price. We started with the 1:00 pm bus, and probably would have preferred an earlier start. We only got off at the Mercado, the Basilica, and Panecillo. We spent much more time at the Basilica than we had expected. It was awesome! Make sure you go around to the front and take the tour up the towers. Spectacular views! On the ride up to Panecillo sit on the left side of the bus and you'll get great views.

Recommended 10/10, Easter trip with my partner and the place I loved.... we met several places within them the real half of the world, Mirador de Pululahua, we also went to the basilica of the National Vote and finally to holy water baths (Pailon del Diablo).
