The Middle of the World - What a fun place to visit while in Ecuador. We already knew a lot of the history around this part of the world, but we still learned some new information while on our visit here. There is the original middle of the world (without the aid of GPS) as well as the new middle of the world using GPS. Going through the village there are many neat exercises you can do that show what happens while standing on the equator. Must see location if visiting Ecuador!

Very fun and interesting - This was a great way to spend our first day in Quito - low key and fun, close to town. The tour was interactive and educational. Our guide was great, but his English was hard to understand, so we really had to pay attention to what he was saying and even then sometimes only caught every third word or so he said, but he was very polite and attentive and I would still recommend the tour.
