Description

What makes this tour special. ✓No other circuit combines so many layers in so little space: colonial history, mixed-race art, popular legends, Andean height, gastronomy and science, all walkable or minutes away. It is not a tour of isolated monuments, but a continuous narrative where each stop explains some of the previous one and prepares the next. That is why Quito is not visited: it is toured, tested and listened to. Besides. ✓Our service offers accompaniment all the time with a Certified Guide with experience in many tourist places of the country, (Costa-Sierra-Oriente/Amazonia) plus for your comfort and security we have private transportation round trip. Personalized attention, English-Spanish language. Above all, the good energy of the guide and the willingness to help you take many photos.

Amazing Quito Tour

We had an amazing tour today with Ceasar! Could not recommend him highly enough. We were visiting with our 6 year old and Ceasar kept the tour fun and informative so everyone had a great time. Ceasar was warm and friendly, he took us to an amazing restaurant for lunch which was perfect for the whole family. Thanks so much Ceasar!

Day Trip to Quito City Highlights

We booked a day tour of Quito and had Cesarin as our guide- he was a terrific guide and we would definitely recommend! He had a lot of historical knowledge that was very interesting. We visited the Virgen de Quito, a walking tour of the City with beautiful churches and incredible views, had a chocolate tasting and finished with a visit to the middle of the Earth. He was very willing to accommodate our interests.
