    Excellent First class tour for solo women travelers!

    I have been on many tours all over the world but this one was by far one of my favorites. It was like having a masterclass in Ecuadorian history, culture, language and environment. Adriana is a fantastic guide because her vast knowledge and global exposure allows her to connect with people from all different backgrounds. As a solo woman traveler, I felt safe and cared for throughout out the tour. The tour itself was well organized and efficient. The transportation was clean and safe. I left the tour feeling like I learned so much about Ecuador I never knew. Wonderful country .Wonderful tour .Wonderful guide.

    Response from the operator: Thanks for your review Lakey. We are very happy to know that you liked this tour.

    guía perfecta

    Our guide Andres is extremely gifted in language (English, German, Chinese and Spanish anyway). She made the understanding very relaxed. By the way, he actually needed all these words that day, because we also met a Chinese group in the basilica in the morning. Perfect international understanding in 4 languages. After the visit before, in and on the basilica Andres led us to the best vantage point (larger than life Mary with wings watching over Quito). After that, in the center were San Fransico. There we visited beautiful churches. Andres gave us a lot of information about their history and architecture. Afterwards we made a worthwhile detour to Chocolate Museum. But they only allowed us to feast on the delicacies there and Andres knew how to tell us about cocoa and chocolate while sitting together. On the way to the ground zero he led us to a wonderful garden of a small brewery. There we ate a little something and had a beer. Finally, to the equator and the day ended perfectly in bright sunshine. If you don’t want to book a boring tour, Andres is in the best hands. Incidentally, Andres can also be booked for other activities in South America. Great type☘️

    Response from the operator: Hallo Andy, vielen dank. Wir wuenschen euch eine tolle Reise in diesem Land

    Private Full Day Quito: Old Town, Viewpoint, Equator, local food: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Full Day Quito: Old Town, Viewpoint, Equator, local food 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 Full Day Quito: Old Town, Viewpoint, Equator, local food 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 Private Full Day Quito: Old Town, Viewpoint, Equator, local food worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Private Full Day Quito: Old Town, Viewpoint, Equator, local food?

    +

    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 Full Day Quito: Old Town, Viewpoint, Equator, local food 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 Private Full Day Quito: Old Town, Viewpoint, Equator, local food?

    +

    Around 1 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 Private Full Day Quito: Old Town, Viewpoint, Equator, local food 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?

    +

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.
