    Fantastic Trip and Guide

    I can not recommend this specific trip with Jorge enough! This is a family owned business that pours their lives into not only their business but the community as well! He took us to all the places, answered 100000 questions about the culture that we had not just structures, and was a delight to be with! They strategically have the tour planned out to be opposite of the massive influx of people you would typically see. It makes for a very personal and enjoyable experience rather than feeling crowded at each location. I left feeling as if he was part of our family.

    Response from the operator: Really appreciate your review guys! You and Ryan are such a couple of great human beings. We appreciate your support when deciding booking with our small travel company and how to see you back to Ecuador and next time bring some bottles or jack Daniels haha.

    Fun day in Quito

    We had a great day touring Old Town Quito with Jorge! He was very knowledgeable and answered even our quirkiest questions. As a group of 4 friends who travel together often we appreciated his patience and sense of humor! A great guide and tour! We had fun!

    Response from the operator: Thanks for your review Karen. You guys were an amazing group to spend the day with. Wishing you all the best for the coming days and adventures. Keep preserving that friendship tour guys have. Safe travels and enjoy the Galapagos islands.

    Quito City Tour

    Tour started on a good note with very small group of 3 others + myself + driver cum guide. Visited independence square, church of society of Jesus, San Francisco church, Jesuit church, TelefriQo to up the mountain above 14000feet than to middle of the earth equator line. Jorge Sandoval driver/guide was well spoken in English, professional, knowledgeable with calm personality. He was fantastic & I would highly recommend him for English speaking tourist to Quito.

    Response from the operator: Really appreciate your review Chander. It was a pleasure to meet you too. You are the example to follow when discovering the world is about. Thanks for booking this experience with us and keep enjoying life as you do.

    Full Day City tour of Quito -All main attractions WITH ADMISSIONS: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quito.

    How much does Full Day City tour of Quito -All main attractions WITH ADMISSIONS cost?

    +

    Prices start at $130 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Quito usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Full Day City tour of Quito -All main attractions WITH ADMISSIONS take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Quito is not rushed.

    Is Full Day City tour of Quito -All main attractions WITH ADMISSIONS worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 88 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 177 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Quito, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Full Day City tour of Quito -All main attractions WITH ADMISSIONS?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Full Day City tour of Quito -All main attractions WITH ADMISSIONS suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Full Day City tour of Quito -All main attractions WITH ADMISSIONS?

    +

    Around 62 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Quito can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Quito and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Full Day City tour of Quito -All main attractions WITH ADMISSIONS start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Quito within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Quito?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Quito experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cotopaxi Volcano full day tour with all the entrances, every day, Cotopaxi tour from Quito -horseback ride and hike-NO TOURISTY way, Baños Full Day Tour from Quito Including Entrances and Activities. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Quito?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Quito?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Full Day City tour of Quito -All main attractions WITH ADMISSIONS?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Tour guide; and Admissions and parking fees. Not included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
