Comenzó en 1880 con la llegada de un grupo de sacerdotes italianos que comenzaron un proceso de modernización que incluye los cambios estética del templo.
La Basílica del Voto Nacional es uno de los ejemplos más importantes de la arquitectura neogótica en Ecuador. La Basílica de Quito fue bendecida por el papa Juan Pablo II el 30 de enero de 1985 y fue inaugurada de manera oficial el 12 de julio de 1988.
Se trata de una estrecha calle adoquinada muy conocida entre los lugareños ya que aparece en muchas pinturas y fue la inspiración de varios famosos poemas y canciones.

We had an incredible day with Daniel, whose knowledge and exuberance made our visit to Quito extra special. He was a wonderful guide and we felt like we saw so much of the city in just a few hours. Thank you so much to Daniel and Viator for an unforgettable day!
Javier made our tour of old Quito fascinating, fun, & personalized. He is very knowledgeable and shared interesting details with us. He also took us to a local coffee shop for a beautiful coffee to get us started right! A+++ highly recommend
Diego was an amazing guide. He taught us so much about how the Spanish forced the indigenous to become catholic. He showed us many spectacular views of the city, churches and old down town.
Good tour, however our guide was 45 minutes late in arrival. As a result, we were quite rushed at certain points. The Panecillo was great but she tried to skip the entry which provided the overlook. The cost was just $1 per person. We insisted to visit the museum and overlook which was very worth it. Traffic was horrible and we spent almost two hours sitting in traffic and looking for parking. One wonders if she had been on time if this experience had been better. We saw the outside of San Francisco but no time to go inside. We visited the Golden Church and visited the inside which was 100% worth it — educational. Guide bought some lychee ($1 for a bag) which we enjoyed for a sweet snack. More traffic. The other market stops were nice — lady at ice cream tried to cheat us out of change but guide resisted and defended. We loved the chocolate tasting! Truly educational. Finished one hour early, so in total the trip was two hours less than expected. Disappointing because, combined with the traffic, we could have seen and enjoyed so much more. Would not book again.
I accidentally booked the tour for the wrong day, but one phone call snd they got us all taken care of! Our guide was exceptional and we had a wonderful time!
Diego was so knowledgeable and kind. He really made the tour unforgettable! The history! Could have spent several days!!
Alex and Dante were fantastic tour guides!! We learned the history of the city in a fun way! Alex was so knowledgeable and the tour was personalized making it an amazing experience.
Dear Aleisha, thank you so much for your review. We are glad that you enjoyed your city tour. Hope you can come for another adventure with us! Best regards!
Diego was a great guide. He provided a great deal of information about the sites visited as well as the city itself. The pace was ideal as one of us was having difficulty breathing. The chocolate factory was a great ending.
Our guide, Fabian, met us at the scheduled time and location, had a good driver, Dante, with him, and escorted us around the city by car and walking. Fabian is friendly, communicates well, and had an in-depth knowledge of the architecture and religious art works which we viewed.
Dante and Alex let our family of 12 on a wonderful “4 hour” tour of Quito city! We could not have asked for more. They were both knowledgeable of the sites and history of Quito and had much patience answering questions from all of us. The churches were beautiful, the Chocolate tasting was wonderful, and the lunch they recommended was perfect. We all agree that this tour receives 5 stars. Thank you, Dante and Alex.
Dear customer, thank you so much for your lovely review. We are glad you had a great experience in Quito. Hope you can visit us again, we will make sure you have an amazing time! Best regards!
