What are people saying about Quito

KOOSEMAIL, Jun 2026

Excellent tour

We had a terrific tour with Jhonatan as our guide and Santiago our driver. They showed up on time with a spotless sedan to pick us up at the hotel. Jhonatan was energetic, considerate, entertaining and very knowledgeable. We saw all the highlights in the city with a better understanding of the culture and history of Ecuador. And Santiago was polite and an excellent driver. Highly recommend this tour!

Fun tour for our family aged 12-76.

Great experience! Daniel was a wonderful tour guide. The equator explanation and experiments were fun for our three generation family. I would highly recommend it. The cable car ride was good but you MUST walk all the way to the swing in the sky. It was totally worth it.

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

Amy_N, Jun 2026

100% Helpful at every turn

Our guide was excellent. We had one get altitude sickness (we are from sea level) and they were great and stopped when we needed and helped get us what we needed. We didn’t get to do all the hiking that we wanted to but that was because of us, not the tour. Couldn’t have asked for more from the agency.

Amazing tour!

Viv was an amazing guide, she was able to direct our large group thru the streets of Quito and give us a lot of insight into the city, culture and history and food! We felt like VIP getting an inside tour of a private residence and the food tasting were so good! Lastly her chocolate tasting was so informative and well done. Her smile and friendliness made the tour amazing, would recommend 110%!

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!

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.

Steve_S, May 2026

Workout with a view

This hike is phenomenal. Yes, it is difficult. Yes, the altitude is a killer - but it's worth it. We were advised against taking donkeys, so elderly folks beware. Lunch was good, not great but the environment and vibes are excellent. Our driver and tour guide were very nice too. On our way to the lake we received lots of information about Ecuador and it's volcanos, but I wish we received a little more information about the lake and it's ecology. Overall, I definitely recommend this for a more physical and exciting excursion.

Great experience in Quito

We had such a great experience with this tour. Our guide Freddy, was amazing. He was very flexible, engaging, and accommodating. He took us to so many great locations that he had tons of knowledge about. Our kids really enjoyed him and the areas we went to on this tour. Freddy took us to great restaurants, markets, as well as a chocolate tour that our kids loved. We had a great time and I highly recommend this tour.

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!
