What are people saying about Quito

AUDREY_D, Aug 2026

My husband and I flew...

My husband and I flew into Quito for a one day layover on our way home after a Galapagos tour and decided to make the most out of the day with a day tour. I booked it a mere 13 hours prior and we were paired with Galindo as our guide. He was a very experienced tour guide, knowledgeable, and also took great pictures of us along the way. Galindo’s English was excellent, but it was still nice to be able to practice my very rusty Spanish with him without feeling embarrassed since I never really had a chance to speak much in Galapagos. Galindo catered our tour to our preferences and took us to a really cute restaurant for lunch that had good food and our table had a nice view of Independence Square. We really felt like we got a good taste of Quito by the end of the day. We were tired but it was worth it!

Cotopaxi Full-Day from Quito Including Entrances

Karlena_S, Aug 2026

Excellent excursion

This was a wonderful excursion and I highly recommend it to anyone considering a day trip to Cotopaxi! Jorge was a great guide and Jonathan a talented driver. All the stops were excellent and the entire trip was super comfortable. You don’t have to hike up to the refuge unless you want to so this is good for active hikers and the curious alike. Also, the trip included people from around the world but especially Latin America and even Ecuador — that’s how you know it’s really good!

Mindo Cloud Forest Private Day Tour

Sara_R, Aug 2026

The highlight of our trip!!

This was one of our favorite days. Our driver was a wonderful man and a safe driver which I really appreciated. He was very patient and loving with my daughter. We had so much fun. He never rushed us. We spent time feeding the hummingbirds- we learned so much. Tiny toucans even showed up right next to us. We did a fun hike through the rain forest and my daughter loved the cable car. So much so she decided to go ziplining after. These memories we will have forever of beautiful Ecuador. The food at the restaurant was fresh and lovely.

Tropical Escape: 3 Days Amazon Rainforest Tour from Quito

MICHAEL_F, Aug 2026

Highly recommended 2 night all-inclusive jungle adventure lodge stay

The tour is 2 nights at Suchi Pakari Lodge in Ecuador’s Amazon Jungle. Ask for room 205, a unique glass-walled tree-house high above the resort, with three terraces, and tree-top jungle views everywhere you look The lodge is a full-service jungle wilderness adventure base with múltiple daily activities with 3 meals Per day, a nice pool and bar, good internet and electricity throughout. Surprisingly few pest insects Activities were boat rides, animal and plant exploration hikes, waterfall hike, animal preserve trip, native culture center, making chocolate from cacao beans. The hikes require at least average fitness. Meals are served buffet style with group seating. I am a solo traveler and made new friends easily.

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

Vincenzo_P, Aug 2026

Wow! Amazing Tour of Beautiful Volcanoes!

One of the BEST tours I've ever taken. My daughter and I travel the world visiting Volcanoes and we are so happy we chose this tour guide for Cotopaxi and Quilatoa! Andres and Jimmy were super friendly, accommodating, punctual, and knew the complete history of the area. The sights were spectacular, unforgettable, and easy to access. We left completely satisfied. I highly recommend this tour guide to visit these infamous bucket-list volcanoes!

Amazing day with Daniel

We spent the day with Daniel and our driver Ricardo routing around Quito with stops at cable car, Basilica, and the equador. They even pickup and drop off at our hotel by the airport as an extra peek! Daniel was an excellent guide and shared many details about Equador history and architecture. He truly loves guiding and answering questions. His knowledge of the city seemed endless. His English was also very clear .. Even people in the back could hear him . I would highly recommend this tour!!

Lovely day in Quito

We had an amazing day touring Quito with Jonathan. He was extremely knowledgeable of the history of Ecuador and Quito and made the tour intriguing and engaging.

Full-Day Mindo Cloud Forest Tour Birdwatching Waterfalls and Hike

George_S, Jul 2026

Gustavo, our tour guide...

Gustavo, our tour guide was the absolute best. Saw everything requested, with no rush. Gustavo was knowledgeable, informative, and extremely sociable. He knew all the indigenous history at the volcano, identified all the bird life at Mindo and other birding spots, leading the hike at Mindo, etc. Finished late at chocolate factory, enjoyable and interesting. I picked this tour because of strong reviews praising different guides. Gustavo was amazing; flexible to needs of individuals; never rushing us through different stops until our interests were met. Pick this tour.

Cotopaxi tour from Quito -horseback ride and hike-NO TOURISTY way

Justin_P, Jul 2026

Fun way to experience Cotopaxi

The drive out isn't so long, so that's great. The horseback ride was fun. It was beautiful although very cloudy so we couldn't see much. The hike to base camp was difficult but if you slow it's okay. Again, so cloudy but still amazing. You can eat some soup and have tea at base camp if you don't want to haul lunch with you. Expect to pay $.50 every time you have to use the bathroom 😂. The guide, Dario, was nice and attentive.

Gastronomic and Cultural Walking Tour of Quito with Tastings

Trishla_K, Jul 2026

Ideal for Vegetarian Travelers

Our tour guide Malena was very friendly and knowledgeable. We had a fantastic time walking around the city and visiting hole in the wall food joints. We were pleasantly surprised by the vegetarian option available to us during this tour. Overall, highly recommend doing this the first day in the city to familiarize with the history of Quito.

Baños Full Day Tour from Quito Including Entrances and Activities

Nico_Y, Jun 2026

Incredible Experience. You should try!

This is a well organized & incredible tour with an amazing & incredible tour guide Jorge. Of all my 4 tours in Ecuador, He is the best tour guide that I’ve encountered. From breakfast, he took our orders already before we reach the restaurant so everything is ready and smooth. He took us to our first stop, which is the Swing to the edge of the world. There he nudged us to do the swing even though I was scared, that experience was exhilarating. I’m glad he convinced me to do it, plus he took a video and photos of the while experience. Then, we went to the adventure park for extreme activities. The only thing I did was the walk to glass bride, but the view up there is also gorgeous. The third stop was to the open air cable car… again, it was a nice experience outside of my comfort zone. Grateful for the chance to experience hanging, basically, on a huge metal basket in between canyons and with the view of a majestic waterfall and the river thousands of feet up. Lunch was in a very artsy restaurant, loved the vibe so much. Last but not the least, we went to the devils couldron waterfalls. Again, Jorge lead us to the most beautiful spots in the site and took pictures of each of us with the view of the mighty waterfalls. Epic view and experience! Recommended 10000%. Thankful to our driver Jimmy who drove us to the various sites and watched over our belongings throughout the entire time. Take this tour!
