    It was like sightsee with a good friend

    The tour was amazing. Daniel was not only extremely knowledgeable about Quito and Ecuador, he was passionate about it too. My wife and I had a great time. We would absolutely book future tours with Daniel. Highly recommend. 5 stars!!!

    Best tour ever! Like walking with a friend.

    We highly recommend Daniel Mucarsel. He put together a custom tour for my husband and I based on our input. We initially communicated via email but then through whatsapp, even having a meet and greet phone call to go through the itinerary. Over the course of the day, the itinerary changed as we learned more about other sites (even a chocolate tasting at a small shop that was very interesting and enjoyable). At the end of the day, he spent extra time with us at the artisan market to guide us on good handicrafts. We learned so much about Quito and Ecuador and will return and use Daniel again. Thank you Daniel! Debbie and Joe

    Awesome Quito Tour Guide

    Daniel was a great tour guide. His knowledge of Quito and Ecuador is extensive. He customized the tour for us and let us spend as much/little time at sights as we wanted. We were so happy with him as a guide that we booked him for a another day of our trip when we went to Mindo.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your trust and for allowing me to show you a little bit of what we have in this beautiful country. I hope everything is well back home; I hope to see you soon, stay in touch!

    We had an amazing tour...

    We had an amazing tour with Daniel. We only had 8 hours in Quito unfortunately and Daniel made the very most of our time there. He was engaging, entertaining and informative. We learnt so much not only about Quito but also about Ecuadorian politics and culture. We would highly recommend him as a guide no matter what you are after Thanks Daniel !!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for allowing me to show you, in a comprehensive, safe, and express way, a little of all the attractions we have in my country. I hope to see you soon, stay in touch!

    Let me show you Quito! Complete Private City Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Let me show you Quito! Complete Private City Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $70 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 Let me show you Quito! Complete Private City Tour 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 Let me show you Quito! Complete Private City Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 58 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 Let me show you Quito! Complete Private City 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 Let me show you Quito! Complete Private City Tour 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 Let me show you Quito! Complete Private City Tour?

    +

    Around 20 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 Let me show you Quito! Complete Private City 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 Let me show you Quito! Complete Private City Tour?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; GST (Goods and Services Tax); and Surcharges on fuel. Not included: Gratuities; Lunch; IntiÑan Middle of the world Museum; and Panecillo Overlook Site. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Let me show you Quito! Complete Private City Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 147 listed pickup locations in and around Quito. Be ready about 5 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Let me show you Quito! Complete Private City 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 Let me show you Quito! Complete Private City Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Let me show you Quito! Complete Private City Tour if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
