    Awesome day with Angela and Jamie

    Awesome day with Angela and Jamie! Spent a day in Quito and Middle of the World tailored to our desires with pickup and drop off at our hotel. They were very informative on local culture. Really enjoyed the chocolate tasting at Yumbos (I didn’t realize how good dark chocolate could be). We enjoyed Angela and Jamie so much that we are planning to book an Ecuador multi-day sightseeing adventure with them in the future.

    Response from the operator: Dear Michelle: It was a pleasure for Jamie and I to meet you and to be able to spend the day with you and your friend. Thank you for taking the time to write about your experience with us, we do really appreciate it. Best wishes and warm regards, Angela & Jamie Hally

    Wonderful day in Quito!

    We had a great day out in Quito with Jean Pierre. We visited Mitad del Mundo, the TelefériQo Cable Car, the UNESCO-listed Quito City Center, and finished the day with a chocolate tasting. Jean Pierre was an engaging and informative guide, and we learned a lot about Ecuadorian culture. Gracias!

    Response from the operator: Dear Caroline: On behalf of Jean Pierre, we do really appreciate your review, it means a lot to us and we are very thankful. We look forward to seeing you back in our country sometime in the near future. Warm Regards, Angela & Jamie Hally

    Private Day Tour of Quito and Middle of the World: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Day Tour of Quito and Middle of the World cost?

    +

    Prices start at $89 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 Private Day Tour of Quito and Middle of the World 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 Private Day Tour of Quito and Middle of the World worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 91 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 274 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Quito, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private Day Tour of Quito and Middle of the World?

    +

    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 Private Day Tour of Quito and Middle of the World 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 Private Day Tour of Quito and Middle of the World?

    +

    Around 96 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 Private Day Tour of Quito and Middle of the World 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 Private Day Tour of Quito and Middle of the World?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Bottled water; Chocolate tasting; Round Trip Private Transportation, English Speaking Guide; and Pick up from Airport Hotel with out charge. Not included: Meals or drinks; and Personal expenses. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
