Interesting!
Our guide Christian, was early and met us inside the hotel lobby. As we drove around the city, he shared his knowledge of Quito and answered all our questions. At the cable car ride up the Pichincha Volcano mountain side, he explained the geography and plant life change as we ascended. While hiking up the remaining 100 or so yards he kept checking on us to make sure we were all OK due to the high altitude. Our next stop was the middle of the Earth venue, the Equator. It was a fun and informative visit. Christian was very informative and personable guide.
Response from the operator: Dear customer, thank you so much for your review. We are glad you had a great experience with us! Hope to see you soon again, we will make sure you have an amazing time!

Amazing adventure experience!
Amazing adventure experience! Riding a horse to the Pichincha should be kn everybody's bucket list. Our guide had tremendous knowledge of the land, culture and history of colonial Quito. I'm more than happy to recommend it to anybody.

Amazing horse ride
Diego was our guide. He was great. We needed to adjust our schedule and change a couple of things. He was able to make it all happen. The horse ride was amazing. It was incredible how those horses can handle the ride at over 13,000 feet in elevation.

Private Quito City Tour with Teleférico and Horse Ride in Pichincha Volcano: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quito.
How much does Private Quito City Tour with Teleférico and Horse Ride in Pichincha Volcano cost?
+
Prices start at $169 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 Quito City Tour with Teleférico and Horse Ride in Pichincha Volcano 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 Quito City Tour with Teleférico and Horse Ride in Pichincha Volcano worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 4 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 Quito City Tour with Teleférico and Horse Ride in Pichincha Volcano?
+
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 Quito City Tour with Teleférico and Horse Ride in Pichincha Volcano 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 Quito City Tour with Teleférico and Horse Ride in Pichincha Volcano?
+
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 Quito City Tour with Teleférico and Horse Ride in Pichincha Volcano 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.
