Quito Private Tour: Old Town, Half the World and Cable Car
Excellent Private Tour in Quito — Perfect for Families
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Today we had a private tour in Quito, and it was truly one of the best experiences of our trip 💛 Everything was perfectly organized — comfortable, relaxed, and very attentive to our wishes. A very special thank you to our guide Jonathan, who was absolutely amazing. Jhonathan shared the history of Quito in a very engaging, clear, and interesting way, making the tour enjoyable from start to finish. We visited: ✨ a panoramic viewpoint with breathtaking views of the city, ✨ the city center, ✨ the beautiful and atmospheric Old Town, ✨ a museum, ✨ and the iconic Equator Monument (Mitad del Mundo) — a truly unique place to experience 🌍 We were traveling with our 6-year-old daughter, and Jonathan was incredible with her 🥰 He played with her, watched over her with great care, and explained things in a way that was fun and easy for a child to understand. This made the entire tour very comfortable and enjoyable for our whole family. Throughout the day, we felt safe, well taken care of, and genuinely welcomed. The atmosphere was warm, friendly, and personal — exactly what you hope for in a private tour. We wholeheartedly recommend this company and Jonathan to anyone who wants to discover Quito with heart, comfort, and authentic local insight. We would gladly choose this tour again and recommend it to friends without hesitation 💫

Quito Old Town tip based walking tour small groups Cacao Taste
THE BEST TOUR EVER!
Alexis was our tour guide when we went to visit Quito and he was nothing less than amazing, he was very respectful and inviting even before the tour began and once it started he was very informative and great at explaining everything. He spoke both English and Spanish which was really helpful due to the fact our group spoke a little of both. He answered any and all questions we asked and even offered to take pictures of the group at all the locations we stopped at. At the end of the tour he also waited with us until our ride arrived making sure we were safe at all points. The tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Quito and would highly recommend for anyone who is interested in sightseeing and learning about many different places about Quito.
