Quiti city tour - The tour met our expectations and we saw all of the local attractions on our list. Our tour guide, Jose, was very informative and accomodating. We were able to go at our own pace especially on our hike up to the swings. All admission fees were included with the price of the tour. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Quito.

100% recommended - Loas complete to see Quito in a day. Well organized in terms of attraction times and easy navigation in a city where traffic can be a constraint.

Outstanding Full-Day Quito Tour - Our passionate, knowledgeable, and friendly guide Jorge - co-owner of Footprint Journeys - provided an engaging and comprehensive introduction to Ecuador’s stunning capital city. The full-day tour (which covered all the main attractions, packed in several unique experiences, and conveniently included all entrance fees), was the ideal way to start our visit to this spectacular and set the stage for onward travel to the Galapagos. The transportation was very comfortable, and the private tour allowed for a more personalized experience and greater insight into the South American culture. We highly recommend this unforgettable tour and our guide, Jorge.

Perfect one day introduction to Quito. - Great tour. Good communication and punctual pickup by Jose. Highlight was the Gondola and epanada at the top of the mountain. Jose was knowledgeable and was a great guide for my one day tour. The chocolate tasting was good too😀

Great day out avoiding the many tourists - Great day out with Jorge our beautiful guide and highly recommended tour as per the advert you avoid the many tourists seeing a side of Cotopaxi from the ground you can’t appreciate from base camp. The lagoon walk was superb and the Horse ride was sensational, we could really appreciate the hand made bridal, saddle and ropes etc the air is thin and cold and the handmade chaps and poncho just the thing to stop the wind and stay warm. Local indigenous staff taking you around base of Cotopaxi by horse and we saw lots of bird life including a condor, wild deer and llamas. Highly recommended.

Great way to see Quito - We had a fantastic time on the Quito City Tour with Jose! He guided us through all the main attractions and made everything easy with the tickets included. Jose was knowledgeable, friendly, and even suggested a great restaurant we tried later that night, which was really good. Highly recommend this tour and Jose as a guide!”

Quito in 36 hours - Jorge who owns Footprint Journeys was a wonderful guide, knowledgeable, welcoming, and easy-going. He took us on a food tour the first day for a few hours and introduced us to local restaurants in La Floresta helping us to orient ourselves in the city. On the second day, we did the tour of Quito. We discovered the historic district and the finest quality of chocolate in the world on that tour before having to a central spot to view the city and concluding our trip at the equator museum. Each part of the trip was well explained and interesting if not fascinating. Ecuador is stunning in the Andies and welcoming, and Jorge represented that well in his friendly and informative tour. Booking and finalizing arrangements was very easy through WhatsApp.
