What are people saying about Quito

Glenn_L, Oct 2026

Private tour with Jorge Sandoval

We had an excellent private tour with Jorge Sandoval, who tailored our tour and experience to exactly what we wanted. He was a very good communicator and gave us great insights not only to what we were seeing, but all of our other questions about Quito. He accommodated the pace that we wanted to set. He also gave us a briefing of Ecuador outside of Quito, which was interesting. An altogether excellent experience.

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

glorit, Oct 2026

Excellent experience touring Quito

Excellent experience! We enjoyed our tour of Quito very much. Both our guide Daniel and the driver Abel were very kind, professional, and punctual. Our guide shared very interesting information with us about the history, culture, and places we visited. Something we valued a lot was the flexibility and good coordination of both, who adjusted the itinerary considering that the day was a bit cloudy. Thanks to this decision, we visited the Cable Car first, which turned out to be a great success. Then we toured the Historic Center and several churches, where we learned a lot about their history and architecture. Finally, we visited the Middle of the World before returning comfortably to our hotel. Everything was very well organized, we made the most of the day, and we were able to see the main attractions of Quito without feeling rushed. An experience that we totally recommend for those visiting Quito for the first time!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Outstanding Tour...

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Outstanding Tour Experience with Jonathan and Jaime! We had a fantastic experience with Jonathan, our tour guide, and Jaime, our driver. They arrived to pick us up exactly on time and immediately made us feel welcome. Together, they make a wonderful team! Jonathan showed great initiative and foresight by rearranging the tour schedule so we could visit the Teleférico before the weather moved in. It was absolutely worth it! The views were spectacular, and his commentary throughout the tour was both informative and engaging. Our stroll through Quito’s historic center was leisurely and enjoyable, covering all the major points of interest. We never felt rushed at any stop or while walking between locations. Jonathan allowed us plenty of time to take in the sights and enjoy the experience. The drive to Mitad del Mundo and back to Quito was safe, comfortable, and pleasant. Jaime was an excellent driver, and the level of interaction from both was just right—friendly, professional, and never overwhelming. We would definitely recommend Jonathan and Jaime to anyone visiting Quito. They made our day memorable and gave us a wonderful introduction to the city. Job well done, gentlemen! Thank you for a fantastic experience!

Mindo Cloud Forest Private Day Tour

Robb_L, Oct 2026

Mindo Cloud Forest Day Trip

Quito is quite large; hence, it takes a long while to get away from it and into the countryside. Nonetheless, the skilled driver (Pedro) made it comfortable to chat with our excellent guide (Hugo) and learn a lot and ask questions about Quito, Ecuador and the surroundings. We stopped in a small town to see an equator marker in an uncrowded setting, visited a hummingbird refuge abuzz with a wide variety of beautiful hummers, hiked to all the waterfalls in the Mindo Park, rode the cable car there and then had a lovely, well-earned lunch at a unique restaurant with great food and excellent bird watching. A full, memorable day!

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!

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.

Matt_W, Sept 2026

We had a great experience...

We had a great experience Andres! The private car was clean and he was a wonderful and safe driver. We went to the lake and waterfalls before the Otavalo market. He also had good recommendations for restaurants. We really enjoyed talking with him, but he also gave us plenty of free time at the market.

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

Renay_D, Sept 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!

Cotopaxi & Quilotoa Volcanoes 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!

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!
