    Great tour!

    The tour was absolutely fantastic! Michael, our guide, was simply amazing—knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire experience. He made the tour truly memorable. I can’t recommend this tour and Michael highly enough. If you’re considering booking, definitely go for it!

    Amazing Tour

    Our tour guide Diana was amazing! The hike to the swing is not for the faint of heart but she was patient and encouraging and we did it! Quito was a great experience both educational and interactive. I balanced the egg on the nail and got my certificate but couldn’t walk the straight line. It was my birthday and Diana even surprised me at the end with flowers! Overall, a great tour.

    Response from the operator: Happy Birthday and welcome to Quito!! We are glad to know you felt safe and comfortable with our guide!!

    Full Day Middle of the World, Cable Car and Quito City Shared Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Full Day Middle of the World, Cable Car and Quito City Shared Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $67 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 Middle of the World, Cable Car and Quito City Shared Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 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 Middle of the World, Cable Car and Quito City Shared Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 81 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Quito, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Full Day Middle of the World, Cable Car and Quito City Shared Tour?

    +

    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 Middle of the World, Cable Car and Quito City Shared Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Full Day Middle of the World, Cable Car and Quito City Shared Tour?

    +

    Around 28 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Full Day Middle of the World, Cable Car and Quito City Shared Tour 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 Middle of the World, Cable Car and Quito City Shared Tour?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Certified Tour Guide; and Mentioned Visits. Not included: Lunch; Cable Car Quito; and Intiñan Solar Museum. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Full Day Middle of the World, Cable Car and Quito City Shared Tour?

    +

    Ask for "Hotel Casa Q" which is located at La Pradera Neighborhood - North of Quito - New Town. Your tour guide will meet you right outside of the hotel, on the street, at 9:00 a.m. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Full Day Middle of the World, Cable Car and Quito City Shared Tour offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Full Day Middle of the World, Cable Car and Quito City Shared Tour?

    +

    Is Full Day Middle of the World, Cable Car and Quito City Shared Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
