    Amazing Middle of the world tour combined with Urban cycling in Quito

    We have had the best day . Catolina who helped arrange the day could not have been more accommodating or helpful . We had booked on the cycle tour before we arrived but then added on the Middle of the world tour at very last minute . Pepe our guide all day was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about what he was showing us . He knew history, nature and when we asked a question about cost of land he even stopped at the road side to pick up a leaflet from ladies who were trying to sell land ! The views at volcano were amazing . Museum fascinating . After a great lunch we were kitted out with bikes and even had some warm up exercises . We were joined by Ivor who bought up the rear . The visit to the market and tasting various fruit was a highlight as well as the chocolate tasting with Ivor . What he does not know about chocolate is not worth knowing . You felt safe as lots of cycle routes along with Pepe and Ivor watching your backs . Great to soak up some of the atmosphere and culture of this city on this holiday weekend . Safely delivered back to our hotel . Would highly recommend 👍👍

    Great Guide! Will hire again!

    Catalina is a great guide! she really goes above and beyond. She helped us out when there were protests blocking the streets, gives an awesome cooking class, and has a ton of excellent contacts/knowledge about Ecuador. If you ask, she can usually find a way for you to get the experience/activity you’re looking for. Highly, highly recommend!

    Response from the operator: Giving our best is our motto at Quito Bike Tours and Travel Experiences. So glad that you loved and learnt so much on your tour.

    Trip

    I donot know where to start to thank Catalina and the whole team. I got to Catalina from recommendations on Facebook and from the first second I realized that I won. We traveled with her for almost a week, every day to a different place like, Benios, Mindos, Kotopexy and more. Beyond the professionalism and stunning experience we had, to the infinity of recommendations and ideas, we discovered an amazing woman and team, who accompanied us closely and even in two challenging day in the hospita and didnt leave us for a moment. We also closed with her cruise to Galapagos which was amazing. Highly recommend!!!! There is no doubt that thanks to her our experience was much more amazing. Thanks again Catalina, we are waiting for you to visit Israel ❤️❤️❤️

    Response from the operator: Shalom amigos! We always wish to make every experience memorable. We only do things one way at Quito Bike Tours and Travel Experiences ... the way that makes sure that your experience is the best and that the memory lasts forever. Toda raba.

    I can heartily recommend a tour with Catalina! The tour is well organized. There is nice contact with the local population. Catalina has a lot of knowledge about Ecuador and conveys this in a nice way. For a family with children, this is perfect as Cataline offers options to suit them. In a word: great.

    Response from the operator: Our goal is to please every single one of our passengers, regardless of how big or small the group size is. We cater to all, young and older, with passion and gusto!

    Quito´s Evolution Bike Tour & Middle of the World - Group Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Quito´s Evolution Bike Tour & Middle of the World - Group Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $105 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´s Evolution Bike Tour & Middle of the World - Group Tour 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 Quito´s Evolution Bike Tour & Middle of the World - Group Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 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´s Evolution Bike Tour & Middle of the World - Group Tour?

    +

    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´s Evolution Bike Tour & Middle of the World - Group Tour 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 Quito´s Evolution Bike Tour & Middle of the World - Group Tour?

    +

    Around 2 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 Quito´s Evolution Bike Tour & Middle of the World - Group Tour 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 Quito´s Evolution Bike Tour & Middle of the World - Group Tour?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Lunch; Safety basic equipment: helmets, safety vests, gloves; Quito Bike Tours Quality Mountain Bikes 18 speed; and Entrance fees (2). Not included: Personal Expenses; Beverages; and Tips. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Quito´s Evolution Bike Tour & Middle of the World - Group Tour?

They're ready to welcome you and ensure a seamless start to your exciting journey. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Quito´s Evolution Bike Tour & Middle of the World - Group Tour offered in?

    +

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Quito´s Evolution Bike Tour & Middle of the World - Group Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Quito´s Evolution Bike Tour & Middle of the World - Group Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    +
