Authentic Ecuadorian experience
Jossua made the experience rewarding. He is very knowledgable passing information in a relaxed engaging manner. Local knowledge helps to try interesting ice-cream. The hummingbird and coffee experience provides an opportunity to meet local people working on a reserve and small coffee producing enterprise. We also went to a fantastic place for lunch (good food and price).
Response from the operator: Very important info you share. Hope you both enjoyed every part of my country which is always waiting for you.

Feed hummingbirds by hand!
Jossua was an exceelent guide! We relly appreciated his knowledge of the area, his sense of humour and his recommendations based on our interests. We never knew how many species of hummingbirds there are; having them land on our hands to be fed was an amazing experience. I reccommend bug spray and long sleeves/pants for this part. I got eaten alive. The interactive experience at the middle of the world was a mind warp! BTW loved the coffee. We would recommend this trip.
Response from the operator: I also know your trip to Galapagos was the best. We will be so glad to have you here agains. HUGS

Excellent Tour with Jossua the Amazing Guide!
Jossua was an amazing tour guide! He was very knowledgeable about a variety of things from coffee making, to chocolate making, the middle of the world unique aspects, birding, and overall landscape of Ecuador. He made the tour excellent. We never felt rushed. He let us see things at our pace. The hummingbirds were so cool to feed. The Middle of the World was very interesting and it was neat to stand in both hemispheres at the same time. Jossua took lots of photos of us. Pululahua was absolutely beautiful. The drive to the hummingbirds had some stunning scenery. The restaurant Jossua chose was great. Best meal I had on our whole vacation. (Pork chops with BBQ sauce) The tour was tailored to my liking and I would recommend Jossua and this tour to everybody!
Response from the operator: Thanks, continue travelling a lot like just u know! HUGS

This was a great experience. I expected a short tour but it was a full day with many options, getting to that experience was really fantastic. The country side is beautiful and feeling hummingbirds in my hand was really cool . My guide, Jossua, was great. This was my second excursion with him. His knowledge and flexibility throughout the trip has been great. I liked everything about this experience.

Middle of the World, Hummingbirds with Coffee Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quito.
How much does Middle of the World, Hummingbirds with Coffee Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $99 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, Hummingbirds with Coffee Experience take?
+
Plan for about 6 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, Hummingbirds with Coffee Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 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, Hummingbirds with Coffee Experience?
+
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, Hummingbirds with Coffee Experience suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Middle of the World, Hummingbirds with Coffee Experience?
+
Around 3 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Middle of the World, Hummingbirds with Coffee Experience 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.
