Top Quito Day Trips

Our guide Wilson was amazing. He was very knowledgeable about Ecuador and the spots we visited. He went the extra mile to show us additional sites. Very comfortable car and good driver The museum was educational and our guide there was fun and informative

Well worth a day on a trip to Quito. Long drive but you see the diverse landscape & regions. The climax is Banos. First stop at Casa del Arbor is fun & the gardens are beautiful. The next stops with the more extreme activities is like going to an amusement park but the scenery is great! Our guide Fernando kept us engaged & our driver Guillermo was excellent.

Amazing experience, give your self at least 2 days in Quito as the way to the refuge is ascent and the altitude is high, especially if you are coming from sea level. But the view is totally worth it!! Jorge was an inspiring guide, provided useful information about cotopaxi national park. Jonathan was an experienced driver. Cotopaxi volcano is very impressive

This was such an amazing experience from start to finish! The horseback riding and Cotopaxi hike were definitely some of the highlights of my trip to Ecuador. Alva was wonderful! Very friendly, patient, knowledgeable, and made the experience feel comfortable and enjoyable. She was genuinely involved throughout the tour and made sure I was doing okay, especially during the hike. You could really tell that she cared about making sure I had a great experience, not just checking off the activities on the itinerary. I also really appreciated how involved and attentive Jorge was. Communication was great, everything was well organized, and they were there to make sure everything went smoothly. That level of personal attention really made a difference and made me feel well taken care of throughout the day. The horseback riding was so much fun, and seeing Cotopaxi up close was absolutely breathtaking. It was one of those experiences that I know I’ll remember for a long time. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you want more than just a typical sightseeing experience. The people genuinely care about their guests, and that really shows. They also didn't cancel my booking even if I was the only tour participant Thank you, Alva, for making this such a memorable part of my Ecuador trip! ❤️🇪🇨

The tour was fantastic! Our guide Daniel was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about the local history. We loved having the chance to interact with the people of Otavalo and learn about their traditions and way of life. Highly recommend this experience!

Amazing experience with Isra! He was very communicative well ahead of the trip as well as the day of. He gave us lots of options to personalize our itinerary, and was flexible throughout the day. He's very knowledgeable about Ecuadorian history, culture, and politics, and it was great to hear about the country through him. He also got us back in time to make a dinner reservation! Would recommend him to anyone.

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!

Very good tour and well worth the price. We started with the 1:00 pm bus, and probably would have preferred an earlier start. We only got off at the Mercado, the Basilica, and Panecillo. We spent much more time at the Basilica than we had expected. It was awesome! Make sure you go around to the front and take the tour up the towers. Spectacular views! On the ride up to Panecillo sit on the left side of the bus and you'll get great views.
