Good Experience but expensive for what was included
Ivan picked us up promptly to embark on our visit to Intiñan Museum on the Equator Line. We first stopped at the Pululahua Geobiological Reserve where we enjoyed beautiful, sweeping views of the Pululahua crater. We were offered some chocolate cake and coffee that were fine. We then made our way to the Intiñan Museum where we met our museum guide. The museum guide was engaging and provided great information about local indigenous culture and the displayed some interesting effects of the equator with some interactive experiments. I would clarify that despite the photos posted this doesn’t NOT include the more tourist monument on all the souvenirs. While Ivan was welcoming, kind, and provided interesting information, this tour, when compared to others we took on our trip, was quite a bit shorter in duration and significantly more expensive(at the base price from the urban zone). For the same price we had a full day in Mindo city with several activities included in the cost.
Response from the operator: Dear Michael, Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're delighted to hear that Ivan provided a prompt and welcoming service for your visit to the Intiñan Museum and Pululahua Geobiological Reserve. It's great to know that the museum guide enriched your visit with engaging information about the local indigenous culture and interactive experiments at the equator. We understand your concerns regarding the tour duration and pricing compared to other experiences you had. We strive to offer unique, high-quality experiences that reflect the care, research, and access to exclusive locations we provide. We'll take your feedback into consideration as we continue to refine our offerings to ensure they represent the best value for our guests.

Fun morning
Guillermo was a fun friendly guide, the volcano crater was pretty much covered in fog and mist but made for some cool pics. The equator museum was very interesting. Guillermo took us to a tiny mom and pop place for empanadas and other local food after the museum. Fun morning!
Response from the operator: Dear Doug, We appreciate your kind review of your experience during your Quito Half-Day Tour! We hope to see you again for more adventures in our beautiful country!

Crater and Equator Fun
Giovany was an excellent and safe driver and very informative as we drove to Pulalahua Crater. At the crater, he told us about the history of the indigenous people who live there and how the volcano is active. He had more info to share as we went to the Intiñian museum, where the equator actually is (confirmed by GPS). Our guide Arnold was also excellent and provided a lot of information in an interesting way and had a good sense of humor. He demonstrated several experiments related to the equator, like the water spinning as it drains, egg balancing, walking a straight line, and pushing up on someone else pushing your hands down. We went back to Giovany after the museum and stopped by Mitad del Mundo for some photos, then headed back to Quito and stopped by an empanada place for a snack. Giovani even helped us practice our Spanish! Overall great excursion… highly recommend!
Response from the operator: Dear Maria, On behalf of the Rebecca Adventure Travel Team, we would like to thank you very much for your kind review and feedback. We are so happy you had an amazing experience with us, and we can't wait to welcome you back next year!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Quito Half Day Tour Equator Line and Pululahua Entrance Included: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quito.
How much does Quito Half Day Tour Equator Line and Pululahua Entrance Included cost?
+
Prices start at $100 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 Quito Half Day Tour Equator Line and Pululahua Entrance Included take?
+
Plan for about 3.8 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 Quito Half Day Tour Equator Line and Pululahua Entrance Included worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 19 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 Quito Half Day Tour Equator Line and Pululahua Entrance Included?
+
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 Quito Half Day Tour Equator Line and Pululahua Entrance Included suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 2. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 3.8-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Quito Half Day Tour Equator Line and Pululahua Entrance Included?
+
Around 7 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 3.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Quito Half Day Tour Equator Line and Pululahua Entrance Included 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 tour from Quito -horseback ride and hike-NO TOURISTY way, Baños Full Day Tour from Quito Including Entrances and Activities, Gastronomic and Cultural Walking Tour of Quito with Tastings. 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.
