Great tour

Cynthia_M, Mar 2026

It was a great trip. Very informative and if you had 1 day in Quito to do a tour this is the one to do. Beautiful views from the top of the cable car. Luis our tour guide was so nice and friendly.

A Tour that a first-timer in Quiot should take.

Alberto_D, Feb 2026

This a great tour that anyoen should take on their first trip to Quito Ecuador. The guide, Jose, was very knowledgeable and was very conversational. In Mitad del Mundo, heecnouraged us to complete acitivities to get a certificate and also told us to get a stamp. He walked us around the Plaza Grande and pinted out significant buildings. He brought us to the Basilica and into many beautiful churches. He also had us do the cholcoate tasting at Yumbos and helped us get jackets for our next day trip.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Hi Alberto. Really appreciate your review. We are very happy to have these comments and Jose does too.

My tour with Jorge of...

Marie_H, Dec 2025

My tour with Jorge of Footprint Journeys in Quito was perfect. He was friendly and knowledgeable, balancing sharing information and letting us take in the experiences. He took care to avoid crowds when possible. I was traveling solo and appreciated joining the small group (there was one other guest for our tour). The optional meal we had on the volcano was a highlight! The ease of pick up at my hotel and all included fees made this a comfortable and convenient way to spend the one day I had in Quito. I look forward to being back and would book another tour with Jorge again!

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Thanks for your review Marie. Really appreciate your support to our small business. Happy to hear from you about your experience with us. Wishing you all the best in the world from this side of the hemisphere for the coming new year 2026.

Quiti city tour

Susan_J, Nov 2025

The tour met our expectations and we saw all of the local attractions on our list. Our tour guide, Jose, was very informative and accomodating. We were able to go at our own pace especially on our hike up to the swings. All admission fees were included with the price of the tour. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Quito.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Really appreciate your review Susan. We are very happy to hear from you about your experience with Jose. Wishing you safe travels back home.

Outstanding Full-Day Quito Tour

Deborah_T, Oct 2025

Our passionate, knowledgeable, and friendly guide Jorge - co-owner of Footprint Journeys - provided an engaging and comprehensive introduction to Ecuador’s stunning capital city. The full-day tour (which covered all the main attractions, packed in several unique experiences, and conveniently included all entrance fees), was the ideal way to start our visit to this spectacular and set the stage for onward travel to the Galapagos. The transportation was very comfortable, and the private tour allowed for a more personalized experience and greater insight into the South American culture. We highly recommend this unforgettable tour and our guide, Jorge.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thanks for your your review Deborah. We try to give the most convenient deal and comfort during this tour along the main attractions in Quito avoiding the uncomfortable situation of asking for money every attraction we stop by while some sometimes there is no enough change everywhere.

Nice Visit to Quito

Pak_C, Jun 2025

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thanks for your review on this experience with us. We appreciate your support to an small family business. We try to give our best every new departure we have. Safe travels and wishing you all the best.

Quito was a great city to tour

Laurie_P, Jul 2023

This trip was a great comprehensive visit to Quito. My tour guide showed up on time and was very knowledgeable offering me insight into life in Ecuador and answering any questions I had. First stop was the equator museum with optional 45 minutes tour (by museum staff); I definitely recommend this tour and only $5! From there, we drove and took the cable cars up the volcano; it's one of the largest cable car systems in the world. There is some elevation climb here so you may be out of breath; maybe take this tour after one day of adjusting in Quito. At the top was my favorite big swing, alpacas and a very tasty lunch. We continued on to the historic district for a visit to beautiful churches and a taste of chocolate. I really appreciate the tour operator offering to take photos without me even asking. Excellent tour!

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Thanks for the opinion.. Im so glad you had a wonderful experience.
