Excellent all around
We booked a private hiking and biking tour because it was our last day after a long trip and we wanted to have more control over what we did. Our guide was Adrian, who was fantastic. He was kind, friendly, and we had great conversation. He had a lot of interesting information and overall was an excellent resource. We arrived to the park and made our way up to the parking lot. The wind was unexpected for me so we bundled up. It took us an hour to ascend to the refuge, but Adrian was patient. We were definitely pathetic, stopping every 2 minutes to sit or even lay down! He waited for us and gave us advice about how to make it up. Once at the top we took a nice rest and had some tea and cocoa. The way down was just 5-10 minutes and we were so tired there was no way we were going to use the bikes. Plus, the roads were so bad that I can't imagine how difficult it would have been to do that anyways. It was Christmas eve so we decided to leave early. Drive back was smooth and overall it was a great experience. It was extremely difficult, nothing I read prepared me for that, but we were lucky to get a lot of breaks in the clouds to see the beautiful volcano!
Response from the operator: Dear Sashur, Thank you so much for your great review, it means a lot to us! Happy travels! Kind regards, Rebecca

Private Tour All Inclusive Biking Around the Cotopaxi Volcano: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quito.
How much does Private Tour All Inclusive Biking Around the Cotopaxi Volcano cost?
+
Prices start at $184 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 Tour All Inclusive Biking Around the Cotopaxi Volcano take?
+
Plan for about 9.5 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 Tour All Inclusive Biking Around the Cotopaxi Volcano worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Quito, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Tour All Inclusive Biking Around the Cotopaxi Volcano?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Private Tour All Inclusive Biking Around the Cotopaxi Volcano suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour All Inclusive Biking Around the Cotopaxi 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 9.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour All Inclusive Biking Around the Cotopaxi 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.
