The Hidden Route offers you an interesting option for a walk very close to Quito. We will visit beautiful towns, which have a varied gastronomic offer, as well as museums, viewpoints and natural attractions, where you can feel and experience the quiet life of the countryside, as well as learn about its history dating from pre-colonial times, interact with its people and acquire new knowledge in the ecological farms of each town that we will visit. They will also have the opportunity to harvest local fruits such as mandarin, lemon, custard apple, guava, avocado, etc. The Hidden Route is undoubtedly a different tour, not many tourists know about it, so you have the opportunity to see with your own eyes the beauty of landscapes that this route has and that many tourists do not. That is the way of doing tourism, going where tourists do not go and thus experiencing the life of the local people and their customs.

    Private Full Day Tour of The Hidden Route near Quito: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Full Day Tour of The Hidden Route near Quito cost?

    +

    Prices start at $98 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 Tour of The Hidden Route near Quito take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 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 Tour of The Hidden Route near Quito worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 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 Tour of The Hidden Route near 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 Tour of The Hidden Route near Quito suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Full Day Tour of The Hidden Route near Quito?

    +

    Around 0 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Full Day Tour of The Hidden Route near 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.

    What is included in Private Full Day Tour of The Hidden Route near Quito?

    +

    Included: Entrances to the places to visit; Private transportation; Lunch; and Breakfast. Not included: Brunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Private Full Day Tour of The Hidden Route near Quito?

    +

    It is preferable to take a Taxi, Uber or InDriver to get to the meeting point. We will be at the main entrance next to FYBECA, always waiting for your arrival with a brown hat and a “ZE TURISMO” sign. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Private Full Day Tour of The Hidden Route near Quito offered in?

    +
