A great tour made better by a great tour guide - If you have only one day to experience Quito, this is the tour for you. From the ride in the TeleferiQo cable car to enjoy beautiful views of the city, the Pichincha Volcano, and other Andean Mountains in the distance to the "Middle of the World" where we got to straddle the equator, to old town to see the historical architecture, Basilica of the National Vow, the Plaza Grande, and Plaza de San Francisco - this tour gave us a real sense for Quito and it amazing people. We had the benefit of having Christian as our tour guide whose passion for his city and his country clearly came through. He was a wealth of knowledge who put things into context culturally and historically and always happy to answer our questions. He was helpful, professional and courteous. We are very grateful.

Must, must do tour. - Loved this tour. Daniel is a fantastic guide. Knowledgeable, fun and very responsive to questions and requests. We visited the equator (twice!), rode the cable car and the visited the truly charming old town. Quito is wonderful.

Quito in a Day - Perfect tour for experiencing Quito in a day. Mix of dining, shopping, and sightseeing. Our guide, Christian, was amazing, any expectations were greatly exceeded. Christian tailored the activities to the level of physical exertion and length of time we desired. Perfecta!

Absolutely Amazing – Ask for Christian! - This tour was everything I hoped for and more! From start to finish, Christian was an incredible guide — knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about sharing the history and beauty of Quito. We explored the charming Old Town, stood on both sides of the equator at the Middle of the World, and took in breathtaking views from the cable car. Every stop was well-paced and personalized, and Christian made the entire experience feel effortless and fun. If you’re visiting Quito, this private tour is a must — and make sure to request Christian. He truly made the day unforgettable!

This was the perfect... - This was the perfect first day in Quito. Our guide, Maurio was amazing. We hit all the high points in Quito and he showed us his favorite place for chocolate ice cream. I would highly recommend this tour and Maurio.

Good Overview of Quito Sites! - My nephew and I took this tour on our first day in Quito, and found it very interesting and a good orientation to some of the key sites in the city. Our guide, Daniel, was very knowledgeable, and provided a great historic perspective on the city. My nephew is very interested in birds, and we found out that Daniel shared this interest, so he was helpful in directing us of good places to see birds on our trip. Daniel also introduced us to several Ecuadorian specialties when we stopped for lunch, and we enjoyed the interactive nature of the Equator Museum. Would highly recommend this tour!

Great intro into Quito - Great tour, highly recommend for the first day in Quito. Daniel accommodated me by starting the tour later, and managed to cover 8 hour itinerary in 6 hours.

Mauro - best guide ever! - Mauro - best guide ever - lots of historical and actual knowledge, he ajusted to our needs, never rushed us and was very pleasant to be with. We saw all major attractions in our only day in town at a reasonable price. We strongly recommend that tour.

Great tour - This was a well planned tour of Quito and its main sights. Christian our guide, was informative friendly and good fun. We also had a driver as the main points of interest are quite far apart. The 0 Latitude museums were very interesting. Christian arranged lunch for us in a lovely old colonial spot in the Old Town, and chucked in abit of chocolate tasting at the end. Highly recommend

"Middle of the World" experience but definitely NOT a "Middle of the Road" tour. - It is a wonderful tour of Quito. Three main stops. Each well worth a visit. The whole "middle of the world" experience is unique and great fun. We were picked up at our airport hotel right on time and dropped back off at the end of the tour. Our guide Christian and driver were both excellent. Both went out of their way to make the experience perfect.
