What are people saying about Quito

Daria_W, Apr 2026

There is a bit of upward...

Our tour guide, Fernando, was fantastic. He was so patient with those of us who were more easily winded. There is a bit of upward and downward walking, so be prepared. We ate so much delicious food that we didn’t want to eat dinner! I would highly recommend this tour.

Mindo Cloud Forest Private Day Tour

Pam_P, Apr 2026

Amazing day in Mindo

We had the best time with Wilson in the Mindo cloud forest. He had great planned stops and made perfect personalized recommendations along the way. Zip lining was a blast. Even the car ride to and from Quito was a lot fun, our carpool karaoke session will go down as one of my favorite family memories. Highly recommend taking a tour with Wilson.

PRIVATE City Tour: Quito Colonial, Half the World and Cable Car

Linda_D, Apr 2026

A nice overview of Quito

Milton and our driver were prepared. He was there promptly at 9, and we went to the top of the volcano on the Teleferico - the gondola. Great vistas. Milton was so smart to take us there first thing. When we came back down, the line was getting very long, and the extended wait would have been very annoying. We explored the old town. One comment on that, it would have been nice to know that we were doing that so we could have brought along a hat and water. So, if he explained what was next on the agenda, we could be more prepared. Our tour of the Equator was great, and Milton knew lots of interesting things to share with us. He had pre-selected a place for lunch, and again, a little bit more explanation of the menu would have helped. On the whole, we had a delightful day and learned quite a bit about the culture and symbolism.

Cotopaxi Full-Day from Quito Including Entrances

Mark_M, Apr 2026

Good trip to Cotopaxi...

Good trip to Cotopaxi park...pickup at 7am, picked up others, and off we went...first stop about 40 minutes in for breakfast at a gas station/mini-mart/restaurant...most people opted for a quick snack from the mini-mart while others went for a full breakfast from the restaurant...this results in some people just waiting around for others...not a big deal but wish everyone was on the same page...then on to the park...short stop at the visitor center where the guide provided interesting info on the volcano/mountain and the surrounding plants and animals...then on to the hike, a fairly challenging 1 mile steep hike up to base camp...the guide reassured everyone to take it easy, go at their own pace, and take your time...I'm 65, huffed and puffed a little, took a few little breaks, and made it just fine...after descending, made a 10 minute stop at a nearby lagoon for some pictures, then on to lunch...several options were given, I chose the grilled chicken which came with soup, rice, beans, and salad for $6...I enjoyed my lunch and the company of meeting people from different places...then back to Quito, arriving around 5pm...the guide and driver (Hernando and Mauricio??) were both great and I would recommend this tour.

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.

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

Unforgettable Florence Walking Tour with Irina

This walking tour of Florence was absolutely incredible! Our guide, Irina, was so knowledgeable, kind, and fun! She brought the city’s history to life with her stories and thoughtful insights. Her years of experience, warmth, passion, and love of Florence was evident and she made everyone feel welcomed and engaged. We saw all the major sites, plus several hidden gems that we never would have noticed on our own. If you’re visiting Florence, don’t miss this tour. And ask for Irina!

Florence: Guided Tour Medici Family Secrets, Chapels and History

Victoria_B, Jun 2025

Interesting and informative!

We booked this tour last minute, wanting to learn more about the Florentine history that isn’t captured in the main museums. We were not disappointed. Vanessa, our tour guide, provided an overview of the Medici family tree so we’d have context before entering the chapels and walking to various landmarks throughout the city. She shared lots of insight into the family’s influence while also giving us some time to roam on our own. The information we gathered from this tour helped us to better appreciate the Palazzo Pitti which we visited later that day. If it’s your first time in Florence and you’re looking for a tour with a solid foundation of the city’s history (as influenced greatly by the Medici) this is the tour to book.
