Highly recommend this trip! - Our guide Misael made all his efforts to accommodate our request during the trip which made it flexible. The information he introduced was so helpful for us to learn the culture of Ecuador, city of Quito. He also took us to try some special local snack/candy- that was so impressive. In my memory I printed the image of my crushing of the liquor candy into pieces and the liquor sprayed onto my glasses- the blue liquor candy! Lovely. The intinan solar museum, church, middle of the world, hill with statue of Virgin Mary, chocolate tasting tour, old city tour- all great! The trip was wonderful.

Perfect tour! - Highly recommend! Our tour guide Irene was very energetic and knowledgeable about everything Quito has to offer. This tour included all the must see sights and we ate and amazing lunch at a local market. Felt very personalized, we stopped to try local candy, chocolate, coffee, and wine between each location. Definitely worth the price and IRENE was AMAZING.

Best Tour in Quito! - The best tour in Quito! This tour is perfect for everyone who has little time in Quito like us. We had 1 day and Marcelo made our experience unforgettable. He loves what he is doing and one can feel the passion. He took tons of pictures of us, knew all the best stories and places and gave us enough time at every stop to take pictures, shop, enjoy ourselves. He really goes the extra mile for the best possible experience! We had a wonderful time! Thank you very much! Highly recommend this tour!

Temperature in the Equator is dependent on altitude - The trip to Mitad del mundo was nthe highlight of the tour. The Teleférico excursión was cancelled because the cablecars were inoperable. So, buyers beware, Travelzoo didn’t disclose this upfront.
