Private Day Tour of Quito and Middle of the World

6 hoursFree Cancellation

Quito has a rich culinary history, but most skip over it. Along with a local tastemaker guide, you'll experience the city in the afternoon and evening moving from the historic centre to the neighbourhood of La Floresta, an area known for it's street eats. With 14+ tastings across multiple stops, the tour is an authentic look at Quito's local food scene. This isn't about fine dining. Expect everything from corn-based dishes and plantain snacks to different styles of pork, hearty soups, and grilled meats. The setting is a key part of the experience. Visiting these neighbourhoods at night means seeing them at their most active, when stalls are busy and the atmosphere is at its most local. Led by a knowledgeable tastemaker guide, and in small groups limited to just 8 guests, this is a delicious crash course in the city's food scene.

In the fleeting embrace of time, the vast tapestry of Ecuador unfolds before you. Picture this: a caldera, spanning a vast three kilometers, its birth a testament to nature's raw power, carved from the earth by a cataclysmic eruption some eight centuries ago. And then, the towering majesty of one of the planet's highest active volcanoes, standing as a sentinel of nature's fiery heart. As you find respite in the historic charm of Quito, remember, each stop on this journey is but a brief interlude, a mere 30 minutes. Yet, in that half-hour, vistas of unparalleled beauty unfurl, beckoning you to capture their essence in frames that will forever echo the spirit of Ecuador."

What are people saying about Quito

Robert_F, Jun 2026

A great tour with an enthusiastic guide

The tour was great. It took about 11 hours from pick up to drop off. you need to be in ok shape to climb the mountain and id recommend not doing this on your first day (to give time to adjust to the altitude). Great food, views, and info on the tour. Irene was an excellent guide 5/5

Baños Full Day Tour from Quito Including Entrances and Activities

Kyle_G, Jun 2026

A full day of adventure,...

A full day of adventure, with optional add-on's at different stops. The suspension bridge at the first adventure park was a really cool to walk across the valley canyon. The option to take a zip line right over a waterfall was a highlight of the trip for us and we were able to take the cable car back over the canyon which was also a great experience. Pailon del Diablo was one the most impressive waterfalls we've ever seen and you get to get right up close to it.! Overall it was an amazing experience and our guide Carlos was fun and very informative on the area of Banos. Would highly recommend doing the day trip from Quito!

Cooking Class in Quito with Chef, Market Tour and Transportation

Sophie_H, Jun 2026

Fun Way To Learn About Local Food

We enjoyed our cooking experience with Chef Margola and Assistant Sylvia. They showed us each fruit or vegetable in its raw form, explained every step in each recipe, and allowed us to get "hands on" with some of the preparation. Best of all, we had a delicious meal at the end.

Middle of the world and Cable car Private tour

David_P, Jun 2026

The whole visit with...

The whole visit with Christian was lovely. We visited both sites for the Mitad del Mundo (I find the 'real' one a bit more complete than the 'historical' one, albeit the latter is much more grandiose, and more prone for photos, if that's what you're into). The way up the TeleferiQo and the short hike up there was great to. Magnificent view on whole of Quito. Everything was well organized, Christian even showed up a few minutes early, and guided us through all visits with many info and small facts. Just beware that if the weather turns while you're on top of, or inside the cable car, you might be stuck there for some time as it doesn't operate in bad weather.

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

Kandace_P, Jun 2026

A fun high altitude hike and adventure

A fun experience outside of the city AFTER you are acclimated to the altitude! Dario and Fatima were great, they guided us well with the horses and Fatima had lots of patience on the hike up. We had perfect weather even once we were in the clouds by Basecamp. Took it nice and slow so no issues on the hike, and enjoyed some coca tea at the Basecamp. A long drive both ways but that's part of it. Make sure to bring tp and snacks, we did stop at a gas station that had good lunch options.

Mindo Cloud Forest Private Day Tour

June_F, May 2026

Outstanding experiences chosen by you

The trip to Mindo was fantastic. We were able to choose from several activities presented by our guide to fill in our day. We chose; a walk to a waterfall, viewing hummingbirds, riding a zip line bicycle, taking a gondola ride and having a chocolate tasting activities. Note that most activities have a small fee associated with them outside of booking the guide. From $5 -&10 dollars. Our favorites were the bird watching where we were surrounded by incredibly diverse and beautiful hummingbirds and chocolate tasting where we were walked through all of the steps required to make chocolate from cocao beans then we tasted various flavors of chocolate as well as other chocolate products. Ximena, our guide led us through all activities and provided tons of insight on the culture and history of the place.

Day Touring Quito

Spent the day on a jam packed tour of Quito to include many sites and a very nice local restaurant for lunch. Jonathan was a great tour guide with tremendous knowledge of the area and region and accommodated our needs to be back so we could catch a flight to Guayaquil. Would highly recommend him to those who would like a better understanding of the area and an interest in seeing the key sites.

Diverse tour with a great guide

It was a diverse tour covering food, history, culture, and language while getting a chance to walk through the historic center of Quito. What made the tour so exciting and enjoyable was the guide, Vivi. She was so energetic and fun, and did a fantastic job of engaging with the group. Make sure you get Vivi for this tour.

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

Ellen_S, May 2026

Remarkable Ecuadorian Day

My partner and I spent a memorable day visiting the awesome Cotopaxi Volcano National Park and the spectacular Laguna Quilotoa. What made the all-day trip so worthwhile was our engaging and personable guide Andres, who was extremely informative throughout the tour. Adding to the awesome view of the volcano was seeing condors, wild horses, and deer and feeding alpacas.The two-hour drive from Cotopaxi to Quilotoa takes a winding mountain road, but the scenery was amazing, and our driver Jimmy did a masterful job.

Private Mindo Cloud Forest Experience

Pennycatterall, Apr 2026

Fantastic day trip from Quito - must do!

Wonderful day trip from Quito! Christian was a fabulous guide - super well informed about everything we were seeing and an excellent driver. We had a lovely 2 hour drive to the Mindo cloud forest and stopped at an amazing hummingbird reserve where the birds flew right up to your fingers. Then a wonderful hands-on private tour of an artisan chocolate factory where we got to select, roast and grind our own cacao beans and then do a delicious tasting. Finally, a stop at a butterfly farm where we were surrounded by gorgeous butterflies in all stages of development. All in all, a great way to spend the day getting to know part of Ecuador outside of Quito!
