Sixth Senses Tour is Worthy
This was one of our favorite tours! First off, Gina our tour guide was fabulous. The small shops we visited were off the beaten path. We loved supporting locals, and learned a lot about local coffee, chocolate, hat making and more. Would highly recommend.

Wonderful tour of historic Quito
We really enjoyed our tour of historic keto with our guide, Danny. He is a native of Quito and extremely knowledgeable about the city and its history. The tour was a great mix of sightseeing and some hands-on experience. We had a chocolate tasting as well. Highly recommend this tour.

A taste sensation in Quito
On our walking tour, Fabian told us the history surrounding Calle de La Ronda and its transformation into an artisan area. He then showed us to La Negra Mala restaurant where we chatted with Victoria who was preparing food on the stove for corn empanadas with a chicken and vegetable filling. We learnt about the local oils and spices used in the preparation. We heard of her trauma through the COVID epidemic and how her sisters have come on board to make the restaurant the success it is today. Victoria is such a warm person and after being shown how to prepare the dough and filling for the empanadas, it was our turn to make them. The best part was we got to taste our empanadas with a Naranjilla fruit drink. Both were delicious. Thank you Victoria. We then moved on to the main square where we visited Yumbo Chocolate. Daniel shared with us the history of the Cacao fruit and why this fruit develops its unique flavour in Ecuador because of their ideal growing conditions. We then paired their signature chocolates with red and white wines and also indulged in their hot chocolate and brownie. What a taste sensation. Thanks again Daniel. A BIG thank you however must go to Fabian who did an amazing job translating our conversations with Victoria and answered all our questions. Such a wonderful experience.

Why this scores 72
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Full Day Six Senses Tour in Quito: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quito.
How much does Private Full Day Six Senses Tour in Quito cost?
+
Prices start at $147 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 Six Senses Tour in Quito 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 Full Day Six Senses Tour in Quito worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 26 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 Six Senses Tour in Quito?
+
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 Six Senses Tour in Quito 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 Full Day Six Senses Tour in Quito?
+
Around 9 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 Full Day Six Senses Tour in Quito 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.
