What are people saying about Quito

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

LINDA_C, Oct 2026

Crazy and Fun

This was definitely a non-touristy experience. Fatima our guide was awesome. The horseback riding phenomenal - the best way to go through the National Park. About the hike, it is challenging. We live at sea level and arrived in Quito the night before so we didn’t have time to adjust to the altitude. But Fatima took it slow for us and it was quite exhilarating to reach the base camp!!! An experience of a lifetime!

Sarah_F, Oct 2026

Highly recommended

The tour was absolutely fantastic! The guide had an incredible amount of knowledge about a wide range of topics and was always happy to share interesting facts and insights. He was also very flexible and adapted the tour to my needs and interests. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would highly recommend this tour!

Mindo Cloud Forest Private Day Tour

Todd_B, Oct 2026

Loved the Mondo cloud forest tour!!

We loved this tour! We toured the Mindo cloud forest and stopped at a hummingbird sanctuary. Out guide (Andres) was very knowledgeable and friendly. We particularly enjoyed the hummingbirds, 100s of them flying around with their metallic feathers glistening in the sunlight. Such a great experience and a wonderful introduction to Ecuador’s diverse natural world!

Cotopaxi Full-Day from Quito Including Entrances

Todd_B, Oct 2026

Loved this tour!!!

This tour was great!!! Our guide (Veronica) was so passionate, bubbly and was proud of her country and all that it has to offer. We partially climbed the Cotopaxi active volcano in the middle of a snow shower and loved the challenge! When we arrived at the hiker’s refuge and realized that we were approximately 16,000 feet above sea level we had such a sense of accomplishment! After the climb back down to the bus we were able see the peak of Cotopaxi peeking out from behind the clouds and the scene felt almost magical. We would definitely recommend this tour to others!!

Gastronomic and Cultural Walking Tour of Quito with Tastings

Chris_M, Oct 2026

Great tour of the old town

An interesting and informative tour showing us around the beautiful churches and buildings in the old Unesco area of Quito. Kevin kept us entertained with stories, tales and legends of the history within the area. We had a great opportunity to taste some delicious local dishes followed by a variety of sweets and ending with a tasting of the best variety of Ecuador chocolate. Thank you Kevin for making a great tour into a fabulous tour. This is a perfect tour for your first day in Quito

Middle of the world and Cable car Private tour

Bob_H, Oct 2026

Know Before You Go

Great! Our tour guide, Ricardo, was very knowledgeable and very respectful of us (we’re in our 70’s). **(Know Before You Go)This last part was important because when we reached the higher altitude, it’s much more challenging for us. Plus, Ricardo gave us a choice of which “middle of the earth” experience we wanted.

Full-Day Mindo Cloud Forest Tour Birdwatching Waterfalls and Hike

Patricia_T, Sep 2026

Hummingbirds and Butterflies Galore!

Galindo was an excellent tour guide showing us the beautiful hummingbird and butterfly sanctuaries in the Mindo Cloud Forest. We very much enjoyed hearing about his organic avocado farm in the Mindo community. He was flexible to flow with our family's interests and needs. We enjoyed the butterfly sanctuary lunch spot and had a great meal. It was our second day in Ecuador and a great chance to explore outside Quito into the mountains. We saw many birds and a few animals that Galindo said were a rare sight. We would recommend this tour as a chance to get out of the city and into the forest to see some animals.

Quito Private Tour: Old Town, Middle of the World, and Cable Car

Gabreila_P, Sep 2026

Wonderful Quito Tour

My sister and I had such a wonderful day exploring Quito! The tour was very flexible, which we really appreciated, and we got to enjoy such a great mix of sightseeing and local experiences. We visited the beautiful historic churches, the Teleférico, the swing with its amazing views, and the Middle of the World. The food and chocolate tasting were also such a fun addition and made the experience even more special. Our tour guide (Jessy) was honestly amazing. She was friendly, knowledgeable, patient, warm, and incredibly accommodating from beginning to end. One thing we especially appreciated was how well she handled the fact that the two of us have very different personalities (one of us is quite outgoing and the other is much quieter) and somehow, she made both of us feel completely comfortable. She has such a warm and down-to-earth personality that it never felt like we were spending the day with a stranger; it genuinely felt like we were exploring Quito with family. We also genuinely felt safe and comfortable with her throughout the entire day. That made such a difference, especially when you're exploring a new country. We never felt uncomfortable or out of place, and she was always attentive to what we needed. Whenever we needed a little break, she was very understanding and would give us helpful tips on how to manage the conditions and keep going. She was also great at keeping us on track with the itinerary. There was so much to see, and she somehow managed to make sure we got to experience everything without making us feel rushed. She deserves a special mention for her photography skills! She was always happy to take pictures of us, suggested poses and the best spots, and somehow managed to make us look like we knew what we were doing. She was incredibly patient and enthusiastic about it, and we came away with so many wonderful photos and memories. For my sister, having the opportunity to speak with someone who was fluent in both English and Spanish was a wonderful part of the experience. Although our guide was fluent in English, she was also happy to speak with my sister in Spanish throughout the day and was incredibly patient and encouraging. Since neither of us is a native Spanish speaker or particularly confident speaking Spanish, having someone guide us through the conversations made the experience even more enjoyable. It was such a special opportunity for my sister to practice Spanish with someone who was so kind and supportive. Our driver was also excellent. We felt safe and comfortable throughout the entire day and travelling between all the different locations was smooth and stress-free. Having transportation between all the different locations was also incredibly convenient. We didn't have to worry about figuring out how to get from one place to another, waiting around for transportation, or losing time between stops. Everything flowed smoothly, which gave us more time to enjoy the experience. Overall, this was our first real tour-guide experience in Ecuador, and we honestly could not have asked for a better one. The combination of the beautiful places we visited, the flexibility, the local experiences, and especially the warmth and personality of our guide and driver made it one of the highlights of our time in Ecuador. We would wholeheartedly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Quito. Thank you for making our day so special and for giving us so many great memories to take home!

Private and Personalized City Tour of Quito Teleferico and Middle of the World

Renay_D, Sep 2026

Awesome Tour!!

I had an absolutely amazing experience touring Quito with Pato! Since Pato was born and raised in Quito, he knows the city inside and out, and that really made the experience feel authentic and special. He explained everything in great detail and shared so much about the history, culture, and everyday life of the city. We stopped at a local market where we got to try some unique fruits, then rode the Teleférico up the mountain and did a short hike with incredible views overlooking Quito. The swing in the clouds was awesome, and Pato even doubled as my personal photographer, making sure I had plenty of great pictures to remember the experience. We visited the Basilica, which was amazing, and then walked through the beautiful Old Town before having an awesome lunch in the square. We ended the day at Mitad del Mundo, which was the perfect way to finish the tour. We were lucky enough to arrive when there weren't many people around, so I was able to get some fantastic pictures without the crowds. This was an especially wonderful tour as a solo traveler. Pato made the entire day comfortable, fun, informative, and memorable. He truly went above and beyond to make sure I had an incredible experience. Pato is the absolute best! If you're visiting Quito, I highly recommend booking a tour with him. You won't be disappointed!

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!

Elise_M, Jun 2026

Jossua was a great guide....

Jossua was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. We saw the beautiful Cotopaxi volcano and walked around the lagoon. We ate lunch at Quilatoa and then walked around the lake. We got to try some local food and interact with locals. We would definitely recommend Jossua as your guide!

Private Cotopaxi Volcano Hike from Quito with Lunch & Entry

David_S, May 2026

Cotopaxi experience

This was a fabulous day. Our guide Edison met us promptly and expertly handled all the driving requirements. He was knowledgeable and pointed out many interesting features of Quito and Ecuador. The Cotopaxi experience was marvellous. We got to meet some alpacas, some great Ecuadorian people and experience the park and its amenities fully. The walk round the lake was full of discoveries from hummingbirds to lizards and lots of other things in between. The climb to the refuge on Cotopaxi was challenging but rewarding and the celebratory lunch at a wonderful local restaurant was top drawer! Would recommend this excursion to everyone looking to experience nature just outside of Quito!
