What are people saying about Quito

Cotopaxi & Quilotoa Volcanoes Tour All-in-One Day Trip from Quito

Ruth_C, Mar 2026

We had limited time in...

We had limited time in Quito, and while this is a long excursion, it was well worth it! Our guide, Rasu, was fabulous! Personable, knowledgeable, and a great ambassador for the region and the country. Cotapaxi was hidden by clouds when we first visited the park, but revealed her beauty later in the day. Quilatoa was an amazing spot. The walk down toward the lake was relatively easy, but the return uphill was quite strenuous, due to the altitude.

With only one day to...

With only one day to explore Quito, it was great to have a knowledgeable, friendly guide, like George to show us the sites. We started with the cable car ride, as George suggested, because mornings are clearer. Our old town visit started with a tour of the Basilica, and gorgeous views of the old city. Next, we wandered through a few of the old town squares, visiting two churches and seeing historic buildings, shops and street vendors. Our day concluded with a trip to Intiñan Museo de Sitio at the equator, a fun and informative way to end a fabulous day! We highly recommend this tour and George.

Cotopaxi Full-Day from Quito Including Entrances

Sara_E, Mar 2026

Cotopaxi is a must do!

Great day that didn’t feel as long as 12 hours. We stopped for breakfast, got some Coca tea, visited the Cotopaxi museum, the lagoon, and then walked up to the Base Camp. The walk definitely makes you breathless so take it slowly, but you can do it. It’s only about a mile long and 750 ft up to the BC. Afterwards, you stop at a cute spot for lunch and then head back into Quito for your drop off. Pamela, our guide, had so much energy and taught us a lot about the area and history. We loved her!

Mindo Cloud Forest Private Day Tour

Rachel_L, Mar 2026

Mindo Magic

We had an incredible experience on our Mindo Cloud Forest tour! The day began with a long drive from Quito to the Mindo region where we began by hiking to a beautiful waterfall and then took a cable car back to our van to travel to the next activity. Our guide Julie was extremely knowledgeable, pointing out flora and fauna during our hike and making sure everyone in our group was comfortable. Unfortunately, we didn’t spot any birds but the hike was still lovely. We stopped for lunch at a delicious restaurant then headed to a chocolate factory. At the chocolate factory, we learned how cocoa beans are grown, harvested and processed plus we got to try ~20 different chocolates, hot cocoa, cocoa tea, and a brownie. The guide at the chocolate factory made us feel welcome and we enjoyed all the treats we tried. Finally, we traveled to a hummingbird sanctuary. This part was our absolute favorite! Immediately upon arrival, we were given hummingbird nectar and the tiny creatures landed on our hands. This was such a neat experience and something we will never forget. Very thankful for how well this tour turned out!

Fantastic tour and guide

This was a wonderful walking tour! Our guide, Malena spoke excellent English and easily demonstrated her superb knowledge of Ecuadorian history, culture, food, drink, education and politics. We had more than enough food to satisfy us over the 4 hour duration. I heartily recommend this tour and guide Malena as a great introduction to Quito!

I had an amazing time with Babylon Tours in Florence! Our guide, Giacomo Piccardi, was not only enthusiastic but also incredibly informative. His passion for the city’s art and history made the tour engaging. I loved it! This experience truly deepened my connection to Florence's treasures. Highly recommend!

Michelangelo’s David, Accademia & Uffizi Small Group Tour

Kim_S, Jan 2026

This was a 2 part tour....

This was a 2 part tour. The Academia tour was lead by a lovely Danish woman. Tour was very informative and was just detailed enough. Uffizi tour was led by Claudia. This museum is SO large and it was great to visit to the masterpieces chosen by her. Because we visited in the off season, there were no crowds and we had plenty of time to enjoy each room. Claudia recommended 2 fantastic gelato spots and we loved them! Highly recommend this tour
