What are people saying about Quito

Karen_N, Sept 2026

Ivan was a wonderful...

Ivan was a wonderful guide. We liked the flexibility of choosing what activities we did to tailor the trip to our wants. Two of our group were able to ride the cable car both ways while the other two were able to do the hike to the waterfall and ride the cable car back which was very nice. Ivan was informative and easy to understand. And we had the best driver, Angel, who drove expertly on the narrow, bumpy road to the cable car.

Had a wonderful tour of the cloud forest with Isra. He's a kind, patient, and extremely knowledgable guide. Pick up from our hotel was seamless, the drive was fun and informative. He let us choose some more mainstream touristy things or some off the beaten path ones. We opted for the latter and it was amazing. We visited a hummingbird sanctuary in a beautiful and serene riverside setting. The birds fed from our hands--it was an incredible experience, and we were the only ones there. Then we headed to the Tulipe Archeological Site, a fabulous and educational tour! Stopped at a great local spot for a late lunch and headed back to Quito. Highly recommend!

We had an absolutely fantastic tour today with Daniel as our guide. Daniel was very flexible and accommodating of our preferences as a family, adjusting the timings etc to spend more time where we wanted to. He was a very informative but relaxed guide and we thoroughly enjoyed his company. We would highly recommend this tour and experience to anybody coming to Quito.

What a rich way to...

What a rich way to explore a small portion of Quito, while also getting a sense of so many foods, drinks, candies, and snacks! Vivi was such a delight of a guide, filled with amazing information, attentive to our needs, and also very thoughtful. I let her know that we had some time constraints, and with our small group, we finished timely. Also let her know we had visited one of the listed stops earlier, and she made a change that was well worth it.

Baños Full Day Tour from Quito Including Entrances and Activities

Jyotsna_M, Aug 2026

Fantastic tour to explore Baños

My husband had a wonderful day trip to Baños with Carlos and our driver (whose name I unfortunately do not recall). The vehicle was very comfortable and spacious and the day trip did not feel tiring at all. Carlos was delightful; very engaging as a guide and very well informed. We had amole time at each of the stops. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who decides they want to do a day trip rather than stay overnight

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

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!

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!

Just one of those best of days!

This experience was pretty awesome! Pamela was such a great guide, very knowledgeable, bubbly, accommodating! Had a great day! Great group of people in the tour as well! I couldn’t have asked for a better day and company to go with and get to visit and to hike Quilotoa Lagoon

Cotopaxi & Baños Full Day Tour from Quito Adventure in the Andes

Jacob_B, Oct 2025

Perfect Guide, Driver, and Tour with both popular destinations in one day as solo traveler!

I had a wonderful tour with my excellent guide, Andrés, and our great driver, Jimmy! Andrés speaks perfect English and was very easy to understand and talk to. He was good at explaining the area and answering questions. He made sure to give me plenty of time at each destination, which was very important to me since this was my only day in Ecuador. He picked me up from my hotel on time and led me to a great place for lunch. I was traveling solo, and Andrés was kind and friendly the whole day. I would recommend anyone ask for him when booking this tour. Jimmy was a safe driver too! I really enjoyed this tour, and hope everyone coming to Quito gets to do it. This tour is especially good because it allows you to see both Cotopaxi and Baños areas in the same day, which other tours do not. Thank you, Andrés, for a marvelous 5-star experience!
