    Don't Skip Mitad del Mundo

    We booked this tour directly through the website quitotourbus.com. But since we wanted multiple tours, we messaged Quito Tour Bus via Whatsapp, told them which tours we wanted, and they sent the payment link so we could pay a one-time payment. Mitad del Mundo tour was amazing. From before boarding the double decker bus to the end of the tour back at Naciones Unidas, Pamela, our tour guide, and Oscar our bus driver, both were fantastic people. Pamela gave us history brief about Quito, diverse geography of Ecuador, and the surrounding mountains and volcanoes. She was knowledgeable, and she imparted that knowledge in a fun and interesting way. Highly recommend this trip to learn more about Quito and why it IS the middle of the world.

    Two awesome tours with Quito Tour Bus

    We enjoyed ourselves even more than expected in Quito, thanks to this tour company and our guide, Irene. She was both entertaining and informative, which helped us take our minds off the planning so we could just enjoy the city. The first tour we went on was a 6-hour tour of the old town, where we saw some magnificent cathedrals, stopped for a chocolate tasting, and for lunch, took a private rooftop cooking class overlooking the city. It was so much fun that we immediately booked a second 6-hour tour with Irene to visit the equator and one of Ecuador's best rose plantations. We got to stand on the "original" equator as well as the geographically official one. Along the way, we stopped at a cute cafe for lunch to taste the country's famous potato cream soup. It was a breeze coordinating with the company, and they were accommodating and flexible to customize our experiences. Additionally, we had the same driver, Ivan, on both trips, who was such a pro. Our whole family had a great time! Highly recommend to all visitors!

    Diana is a great guide!

    Diana once again took great care of me and made sure I got the most of my bespoke experience. I can't recommend her highly enough.

    Good experience

    This was a great way to visit the Mitad del Mundo Museum and Park. The receptionist at my accommodation recommended it as an option instead of a private tour, and it's definitely good value for money. Appreciate the (bus) guide for helping with photographs and making sure we found (museum) guides who could accommodate our language choices.

    Middle of the World Half-Day Tour from Quito Including Entrance: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Middle of the World Half-Day Tour from Quito Including Entrance cost?

    +

    Prices start at $150 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 Middle of the World Half-Day Tour from Quito Including Entrance take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 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 Middle of the World Half-Day Tour from Quito Including Entrance worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 179 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 Middle of the World Half-Day Tour from Quito Including Entrance?

    +

    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 Middle of the World Half-Day Tour from Quito Including Entrance suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Middle of the World Half-Day Tour from Quito Including Entrance?

    +

    Around 63 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Middle of the World Half-Day Tour from Quito Including Entrance 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 Middle of the World Half-Day Tour from Quito Including Entrance?

    +

    Included: Bilingual guide (English / Spanish); Casa Agave entrance; Tourist transportation; and Intiñan Museum entrance. Not included: Details not specified; Food and drinks; Hotel pickup and drop-off; and Tips. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 119 listed pickup locations in and around Quito. Be ready about 45 minutes before the start time.
