Day well spent - Carlos was personable and so knowledgeable about the history of everything we saw. Our day before the Galapagos was well spent getting an overview of Quito.

Up and around Quito - It is very high and maybe chilly up there. Be prepared if you have Problems with Altitude. Have a lovely coca tea, listen to Interessting history of the City from Fantastic Guide IBAN. The View is Stunning!

Nice way to spend a day in Quito - This was a full day 9-5 for us, including transport to and from. The cable car experience is a must. Lets you see the whole city and beyond to the volcanoes. Then a walking tour of the old city. We were told ahead of time that admissions to various places would be extra; so don’t be surprised. We went to a nice but inexpensive place for lunch. Our guide Freddy was friendly and knowledgeable. He gave us a variety of optional things to do while showing us the must-sees. This was a worthwhile way to spend a day in advance of our visit to the Galapagos. Please realize that there is a fair bit of walking up and down steep paths at 13000 and 9000 feet.

Excellent tour of old town Quito - Ximena gave us an excellent tour! She knew how best to avoid the crowds, and she changed the order to suit the weather, assuring us the best views from the top of the mountain. . She was very knowledgeable and clearly passionate about showing the best her country has to offer. Opt for the chocolate tasting…well worth it!

Perfect Quito Experience - Wow! What a great tour. Our guide, Hugo, was excellent and so informative. Great pace and perfect balance and timing of all the must-see sites. Hugo spoke perfect English and had a wonderful sense of humor. He timed the cable car entrance perfectly so there was no line and a clear morning sky. Can’t recommend this tour enough. Ask for Hugo, if you can.

A great day in Quito! - We booked the Cable Car and Quito Private City Tour (Ecuador Best Tours). This was such a great day to get us familiar with Quito. Our guide, Ximena was terrific! She was so much fun to be with and tailored our tour to meet our interests! We went up the hill to visit the statue of Mary and overlook the city. We explored the market in the old town. Lucky to be there on Sunday when the market was active. The churches were also having services that day and we were able to go into the back to observe and hear the music. We had a fabulous lunch, went to a chocolate tasting that we loved and walked around town with Ximena’s guidance and stories. We finally took the cable car up the mountain for a fantastic view and hiked up to the swings for unique photos. Ximena was caring and patient as we stopped for many breaks to catch our breath in this high altitude. I recommend this tour, where you can choose to do what interests you with the help of an experienced guide!
