Itinerary
Your tour guide will pick you up at 9:00 a.m., from our meeting point located at LA PRADERA NEIGHBORHOOD (Mariana de Jesús E7-74 St. and La Pradera St.) right outside of HOTEL CASA Q., in order to drive you towards the best viewpoint of Quito!
You will take a ride on a cable car, which is located at the foothills of the Pichincha Volcano, in an area of 160 hectares. The ride takes 15 minutes per way, starting at 3.045 meters (9,990 ft) and end up at 4.100 meters above sea level (12,500 ft). You will enjoy a beautiful view of the eastern valleys, old town, south and north of Quito.
Then we continue to the northwest of Quito to head the famous Intiñan Museum, geographically located at 0 degrees, 0 minutes and 0 seconds, that marks the division between the northern and southern hemispheres as established by the French Geodesic Mission in the Eighteenth Century. You will see beautiful displays of different ethnic groups in Ecuador, plus the story of their lifestyles, explained by a specialist tour guide! This is an opportunity to be photographed with both of your feet on the northern and southern hemispheres at the same time!
On the way back to Quito, you will see from the road the Equatorial Monument that was built between 1979 and 1982.
In the afternoon, we go to the colonial town of Quito, and during our nice walk, you will pass through the Independence Square, scenery of many dramatic battles of revolution in the history of the Republic of Ecuador.

We had an absolutely fantastic day with Ximena!!!!! Perfect in every way. Ximena was very thoughtful and helpful. Good explanations and interesting information. This turned out to be a private tour and was VERY good value. Very highly recommended +++++++
Thank you very much for appreciating our full day tour in Quito!! Welcome to our beloved city!!
We had a wonderful time seeing all the wonderful things in Quito. Our guide was wonderful and full of knowledge and he spoke English very well. Which was great since we had been in Ecuador for about 12 days and hardly understood anyone. He also took us to an amazing lunch place in the city.
Thank you so much!! And welcome to Quito!!
Great trip, guide Diana was very knowledgeable. Hike was challenging to get to the swings. Cable car lovely 18 minute ride. Amazing view of Quito from up above. Walk with water, have some coca tea. Chocolate tasting was amazing. Best brownie ever. 10/10
We are glad to know you loved your esperience in Quito!! Thank you.
The guide Juan was very nice and friendly. The guide very well knew all the places to see. I enjoyed the cable car to the mountains from there you could see the entire city. The old section of Quito is very beautiful.
Welcome to Quito!! It was a pleasure!
Wonderful and leisurely coverage of the Equator Museum, Cable Car with a hike and Old Town Quito. Fair amount of being on feet but not hard. Our only comment is that entry fee should be included so one doesn’t have to stand in line to buy tickets every place especially when it’s busy. It’s a guided tour so it should include water bottles too!
Thank you very much for your feedback, we appreciate the time you gave us! Welcome to Quito!
The tour was awesome. Ivan was very informative, patient, kind and personable. My wife and I have been on tours alll around the world and Ivan was the best tour guide we 've ever had.. This tour is a must do. If you're in Quito, if you get Ivan as a tour guide it a great plus.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review!!
We had an interesting and cool time in Quito. We learned a lot from the city's vast history and culture during this tour. We went to the San Francisco plaza, the city center, walked around the streets, churches, the Panecillo, and to the Middle of the World visitor center. In all this was a super nice and cool way to know Quito and many of its landmarks. I'd like to thank Diana our guide , she was very attentive, dynamic, fun , and very knowledgeable of Quito and Ecuador. She even took us to a restaurant to try local food which by the way was delicious 😋. This was definitely a nice tour.
Thank you very much and welcome to Quito!!

Best tour guide that taught us an immense about history, Ecuador and the equator. Tour ended up being just us, so she was flexible adapting. Went to panacea instead of cable car due to weather - truly special day.
