Real experiences from real travelers
The private tour with the Teleferico was the highlight of our trip. Standing at 4,000 meters was breath-taking—literally! Our guide was so knowledgeable about the history of the Old Town.
The double-decker bus is such a steal at $15. We saw all the main spots in the Old Town and then hopped off at Panecillo for the best views. Highly recommend for your first day.
The Inti Ñan museum was much more interesting than the main monument. Seeing the water drain in different directions was wild! The tour was well-organized.
You cannot miss La Compañía. The interior is pure gold. Our guide explained the Jesuit history perfectly. Booking through the site was seamless and the instant confirmation gave us peace of mind.
We booked the personalized private tour. Having a car to ourselves made it easy to navigate the steep hills of Quito. Our guide even helped us find a great local place for Locro de Papa.
The tour was amazing, but be prepared for the altitude. Take it slow at the Teleferico. The views of the volcanoes are unlike anything else in the world.
The combination of the Basilica towers and the Middle of the World made for a perfect day. Climbing the towers is a bit scary but the photos are worth it!
Our guide spoke perfect English and German. They were very patient with our many questions about the Inca history of Quito. Excellent value for money.
Everything you need to know for your journey
Quito is a year-round destination, but the dry season from June to September offers the clearest views of the surrounding volcanoes. However, expect 'four seasons in one day' any time of year!
Quito is at 2,850m (9,350ft). Some visitors feel mild symptoms. It is recommended to drink plenty of water, avoid heavy meals on your first day, and take it slow during uphill walks.
It depends on the specific tour package. Some full-day tours (around $130-$150) include all admissions, while budget options like the bus tour ($15) usually require you to pay at each site.
Yes! Many private operators offer personalized itineraries where you can choose between more time in the Old Town or an extended hike at the Teleferico summit.
Options range from a 2-hour hop-on hop-off bus circuit to comprehensive 7-8 hour full-day experiences.
Most private and full-day group tours include pickup from major hotels in the Mariscal and Historic Center districts. Check your specific booking confirmation for details.
Layering is key. Wear a light t-shirt, a warm sweater or fleece, and a waterproof jacket. Comfortable walking shoes are essential for the cobblestone streets.
The Old Town is generally safe during the day, especially in tourist areas. However, like any major city, keep an eye on your belongings in crowded plazas and avoid walking alone late at night.
The Mitad del Mundo monument is the historical site, while the nearby Inti Ñan Museum claims to be on the GPS-calculated equator. Most full-day tours visit both or the Inti Ñan for its interactive experiments.
Most tours on our platform offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before the experience starts for a full refund.
Some full-day tours include a traditional lunch (like Locro de Papa), while others provide time for you to purchase your own meal. This is clearly marked in the 'Inclusions' section of each tour.
The Old Town has many steep, uneven cobblestone streets. While the bus tour is accessible, many historic buildings and the Teleferico summit may pose challenges for those with limited mobility.
