Private and Personalized City Tour of Quito Teleferico and Middle of the World

I felt this was a wonderful way to explore the outskirts of the city, The downtown area, and traveling out to the equator which in and of itself was a fantastic experience. We had lunch over looking the old square And really had a traffic day.

I had a tour with tour guide Pato. I learned a lot from just a single day and enjoyed every second of the tour. Pato brought me to the the central market first where we tried some unique fruits local to Ecuador. We then went to Teleferico and saw the gorgeous view from the top. Pato was not just a guide but also a photographer who a lot of pictures. Then I was able to ride a swing on top of the mountain and took a photo with alpacas. The next stop was at the middle of the world where I saw incredible experiments related to effects of equator. Then went on top of Basilica devoto nacional.

An exceptional tour with Pato. Pato was so accommodating and had a very thorough knowledge on everything. Did enjoy the short hike at 4000m and the visit to the chocolate shop. Overall, highy recommended tour!

We had a wonderful day with ‘Pato’ who brought us to a local fruit and vegetable market to taste the local fruits, went after to the cable car, then to the Basilica see the view up the stairs, had lunch to a really nice restaurant facing the Presidential square. We then went to a chocolate tasting in an artisanal factory and finished the day at a local market. Needless to say it was an amazing day. I really recommend using this tour operator to get a wonderful experience in Quito!!

Experienced Quito. Was amazing! The guide was phenomenal Parra Morales Galindo answered every question and was like a walking encyclopedia.

My husband and recently had a fantastic day touring several areas with Pato. Pre trip communications were efficient and we paid in advance which was nice. Pato picked us up in Mindo and we ended with a drop off at the airport. This was such a perfect day. Pato is so kind and professional. He pretty much knows everything about Quito's history, geology, flora, fauna, culture, etc., such a wealth of information. We visited the equator, caldera, cable ride, and old town quito. Pato had everything arranged and paid for and kept us safe and comfortable the entire time. This was comforting as we had all our belongings in his vehicle. We enjoyed a lovely late lunch together in Old Town Independence Square before doing more walking around the historical town. By the time we were dropped off, we felt like we had another member of the family. Thank you for a beautiful day!

Great day that far exceeded our expectations. Plato was very knowledgeable about flora, fauna, culture and history of both Quito and Equator. The best tour guide we have had in five weeks of touring in Peru and Equador! Bonus trip to hummingbird site and National Cathedral!

Excellent tour! Patricio is very knowledgeable. We only had one day in Quito. This was a great way to see the highlights with this tour.

The itinerary was very reasonably tight, with a tour of famous landmarks, the Equator Museum and a lot to learn; a ride up the hill, a visit to the Old Town and three churches, and a guided tour of Quito's historical background. The lunch shop is a small three-story building with sentimental features and delicious taste. It rained heavily during the afternoon visit, and the tour guide was kind enough to bring coats from the car. Drivers on each leg of the trip are seamless and organized.

I signed up for a private tour at 2026.5. I wanted to take a picture of the sunset and the illuminated city from a hill in Penecillo, I went on the tour at night because of the insecurity. He also told me before the trip that he wanted to go to Voto Cathedral and the top of the mountain by cable car, so he would make his own schedule and show me how to do it. When it came to completing the tour in eight hours and seeing the night view, the Equatorial Museum wanted to go on its own in the morning and have a tour from 12pm to 8pm. Mr. Galindo was very kind and a veteran guide. They explained the cathedral in detail, showed us a number of the best locations on the street a short distance away with views of Penecillo and Voto, and suggested delicious chocolate parfaits at a restaurant with some of our best views. I was feeling a little bit low that morning, with the rain forecast in the afternoon, but Galindo tactfully suggested we go around the cable car first. Thanks to this, I was able to see the beautiful blue sky from the summit. Miraculously, it didn’t rain, we were able to take photos of the night view, and we had a very meaningful time in the car, talking about Ecuadorian jobs, salaries, travelers, hospitals, insurance, and so on. I am very grateful and very satisfied. Thank you‼︎
