Fantastic tour with Eddy
We spent 7 days with Eddy. We enjoyed it very much. Eddy was competent at all times and knew well about plants and animals. From him we have many interesting things about country and people.

Journey through Ecuador with Edison
Thanks to our guide Edison (Polylepsis Tour Agency), we were able to see Ecuador through his eyes. His love of his country, his passion, his knowledge, all added up to a most enjoyable journey. It was all professional (but he has a great sense of humor and is very personable). We always felt safe and taken care of when we were with him. He never complained and was very flexible when we wanted to make changes to the agenda. We can't say enough good about Edison!! He made our first trip to South America very special.

Familiar trip
My family and I were in need of a tour guide as this was our first time in Ecuador. We had heard so many wonderful things, but we did not know where to go. We had a friend who had recently gone, who recommended Polylepis Tours Ecuador. It was one of the best tours we had. He took us to the best places in Ecuador and answered all of our questions. He recommended the best food as well. We saw beautiful mountains and had the best time. The tour guide became more of a friend on this tour. As a family, we would most definitely recommend.

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Top Ten Wonders of Ecuador Tour from Quito end in Cuenca: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quito.
How much does Top Ten Wonders of Ecuador Tour from Quito end in Cuenca cost?
+
Prices start at $1,217 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 Top Ten Wonders of Ecuador Tour from Quito end in Cuenca take?
+
Plan for about 168 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 Top Ten Wonders of Ecuador Tour from Quito end in Cuenca worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Quito, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Top Ten Wonders of Ecuador Tour from Quito end in Cuenca?
+
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 Top Ten Wonders of Ecuador Tour from Quito end in Cuenca suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 168-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Top Ten Wonders of Ecuador Tour from Quito end in Cuenca?
+
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 168-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Top Ten Wonders of Ecuador Tour from Quito end in Cuenca 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.
