    Do not use this Company

    Do NOT use this company! We booked our tour 10 months in advance as we had 1 day in Quito. Over the 10 months we were constantly asked for information which we mainly answered but some questions felt like they had nothing to do with the tour. This made us extremely comfortable. Meeting instructions were sent to us the day before the tour. Then the morning of the tour they just cancelled it. This felt like Lokafy had just been collecting information on us and they could possibly be using our information for other purposes. Our money has now been refunded but we would recommend not to use Lokafy.

    Quito Private Walking Tour with a Local: questions travelers ask

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

    How does Quito Private Walking Tour with a Local compare to similar tours in Quito?

    +

    It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Quito, with an Outty Ranking of 54. At $35 it costs less than the typical similar option ($89), so it is strong value. Best for families and travelers short on time.

    Who is Quito Private Walking Tour with a Local best for?

    +

    It suits families and travelers short on time best, based on its 2-hour length, all-ages access and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.

    Is Quito Private Walking Tour with a Local good value?

    +

    Yes. It starts at $35, below the $89 typical for similar experiences in Quito.

    How much does Quito Private Walking Tour with a Local cost?

    +

    Prices start at $35 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 Private Walking Tour with a Local take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 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 Private Walking Tour with a Local worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 2 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 Quito Private Walking Tour with a Local?

    +

    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 Quito Private Walking Tour with a Local suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Quito Private Walking Tour with a Local?

    +

    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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Quito Private Walking Tour with a Local 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-NO TOURISTY WAY/Horseback or Hike option, 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 Quito Private Walking Tour with a Local?

    +

    Included: Customized private walking tour; Private walking tour with a Lokafyer (local host); and Personalized itinerary tailored to your interests. Not included: Entrance fees; Personal expenses; Tips and gratuities (optional); and Food and drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Quito Private Walking Tour with a Local?

    +

    What languages is Quito Private Walking Tour with a Local offered in?

    +

    Is Quito Private Walking Tour with a Local wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
