This is very much worth doing! Rasu is a great guide that will take you through not only Quito’s history, but general Ecuadorian history. 10/10 would recommend doing this tour if you’re interested in viewing some beautiful sights and want to leave knowing more about the country you’re visiting!

This was one of the most...

This was one of the most personal and culturally enriching tours we took in Quito! We had the pleasure of doing a private tour with Rasu, who was not only an excellent guide but also shared his personal background as an indigenous person born in the city. His storytelling and perspective brought the history of Quito and its indigenous roots to life in a meaningful way. The tour was a great blend of historical insight and hands-on experiences. We visited sites with indigenous artifacts, tried local food and drinks, and learned about cultural practices often overlooked by mainstream tours. Rasu also took us to several rooftop lookout spots, which offered incredible views and the perfect setting for sunset photos. The experience felt personalized and well-curated, and Rasu's recommendations at the end were thoughtful and helpful. Highly recommend this tour if you're looking to explore Quito from a deeper and more authentic perspective!
