    Perfect Day Trip to Banos and Amazing Guide and Driver!

    We had an unforgettable small group tour to Banos from Quito with Pedro as our guide and Jimy as our driver. From the moment we were picked up, everything was smooth, safe, and well-organized. Pedro was incredibly knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and attentive throughout the day. He shared fascinating insights about Ecuador’s culture, nature, and history, and made sure everyone in the group felt comfortable and included. Jimy was a fantastic driver safe, patient, and always on time. Together, they made a great team! The tour included breathtaking stops at scenic viewpoints, the famous Pailón del Diablo waterfall, and the Swing at the End of the World. a tarabita cable car and had the option to do zip-lining. Lunch was at a lovely local spot and absolutely delicious! Traveling in a small group made the experience more relaxed and personal. We never felt rushed, and Pedro adjusted the pace to match everyone’s interests and energy. It truly felt like a day with friends rather than a typical tour. Highly recommended! If you can, request Pedro and Jimy they made our trip to Banos truly memorable.

    Great town and knowledgeable guide!!

    An amazing day thanks to Caro, the town is magical. The waterfalls are amazing. The food was good too. We had some rain, but our guide was accomodating and we could enjoy everything despite the weather.

    Once in a Lifetime Experience!

    Incredible full day trip with Pedro and Carolina. They picked me up directly at where I am staying, and were kind (and funny!) from the get go. The timing of everything was perfect. Be prepared for some hiking (nothing too strenuous, but definitely a work out.) Wear comfortable shoes/breathable clothing! Everything was well worth it. The lunch (which is included) was very tasty! Carolina and Pedro also added nice touches to the trip. They were very understanding of me practicing my Spanish, and we got ice cream, and ate cuy (guinea pig)! While walking through the jungle, we tasted different fruits —right off the trees! All so yummy. The Devil’s Cauldron waterfall was amazing! We ended the trip with a visit to the “Swing at the End of the World”. That was really special. I couldn’t have asked for a better planned trip with good company. I was in good hands with Pedro and Carolina. If you’d like to experience the wonder of Baños in a day trip this is the right trip for you!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the full-day adventure with Pedro and Carolina. It’s great to hear that the hiking, local treats, and unique experiences made for a memorable trip. We appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you again!

    Quito to Baños Tour with Lunch & Tickets–Waterfalls and Adventure: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Quito to Baños Tour with Lunch & Tickets–Waterfalls and Adventure cost?

    +

    Prices start at $220 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 to Baños Tour with Lunch & Tickets–Waterfalls and Adventure 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 Quito to Baños Tour with Lunch & Tickets–Waterfalls and Adventure worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 12 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 to Baños Tour with Lunch & Tickets–Waterfalls and Adventure?

    +

    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 to Baños Tour with Lunch & Tickets–Waterfalls and Adventure 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 Quito to Baños Tour with Lunch & Tickets–Waterfalls and Adventure?

    +

    Around 4 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 Quito to Baños Tour with Lunch & Tickets–Waterfalls and Adventure 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 to Baños Tour with Lunch & Tickets–Waterfalls and Adventure?

    +

    Included: Ticket swing at the end of the world; Private transportation; Ticket to the Devils Cauldron; bilingual tour guide; and Lunch. Not included: Breakfast; and Tips. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Quito to Baños Tour with Lunch & Tickets–Waterfalls and Adventure include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 225 listed pickup locations in and around Quito. Be ready about 5 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Quito to Baños Tour with Lunch & Tickets–Waterfalls and Adventure offered in?

    +

    Is Quito to Baños Tour with Lunch & Tickets–Waterfalls and Adventure wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    What happens to Quito to Baños Tour with Lunch & Tickets–Waterfalls and Adventure if the weather is bad?
