    Personalised city sights tour was a shopping scam with little sightseeing

    I went on a Quito City Sights tour with my tour group - no teleférico and little sightseeing. The 'tour' seemed to be an opportunity to drag us into overpriced shops for excessive amounts of time, resulting in the sights we were supposed to see being cut short even though we finally finished the tour 1.5 hours later than promised. The lunch, which everyone had to attend even if they chose not to eat, was cheap but disgusting. We saw the monument only through the window of the lunch place and there was no description about what the monument was commenorating, etc. The time at actual sights was rushed. Nathaly's description of the sights was hard to follow, lacking in information, and dismissive of questions.

    Response from the operator: Dear Annette, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are concerned by your comments because the experience described does not correspond to how this tour is operated by Latin Adventures. This product is offered exclusively as a private experience, and we do not operate shared group tours of the type mentioned in your review. We have also been unable to identify your booking in our records. For this reason, we believe there may be a misunderstanding or that your comments may relate to a different tour provider. We would appreciate the opportunity to clarify the matter. Please feel free to contact us directly with your booking reference so we can investigate further. Kind regards, Latin Adventures

    Personalized Quito City Tour with Teleférico and Mitad del Mundo: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Personalized Quito City Tour with Teleférico and Mitad del Mundo cost?

    +

    Prices start at $159 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 Personalized Quito City Tour with Teleférico and Mitad del Mundo 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 Personalized Quito City Tour with Teleférico and Mitad del Mundo worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 251 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 Personalized Quito City Tour with Teleférico and Mitad del Mundo?

    +

    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 Personalized Quito City Tour with Teleférico and Mitad del Mundo 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 Personalized Quito City Tour with Teleférico and Mitad del Mundo?

    +

    Around 88 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 Personalized Quito City Tour with Teleférico and Mitad del Mundo 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 Personalized Quito City Tour with Teleférico and Mitad del Mundo?

    +

    Included: Chocolate tasting; Inti Ñan Museum and Cable Car Quito admission fee; Private transportation; Hotel pickup and drop-off for Hotels in Quito; and Certified English/Spanish speaking guide. Not included: Food and drinks; Tips; and Pick up/drop off in hotels outside of the city (Ex: Airport Hotels)-ask for extra charge. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Personalized Quito City Tour with Teleférico and Mitad del Mundo include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 42 listed pickup locations in and around Quito. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Personalized Quito City Tour with Teleférico and Mitad del Mundo offered in?

    +

    It is offered in German, English, French 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 Personalized Quito City Tour with Teleférico and Mitad del Mundo?

    +

    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 Personalized Quito City Tour with Teleférico and Mitad del Mundo 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.
