About this activity

A Hip tour of Quito Old Town

Highlights:

  • Discover the hippest locales in Quito – trendy coffee shops, yesteryear coffee roasters, artist workshops, and vintage toy makers.
  • Experience the modern and traditional street food scene in Quito.
  • Meet artists and artisans and learn how they handcraft Panama hats, Fedora hats, Driver Caps, and more.

Our HIPstoric Quito Day Tour is a unique tour visiting hip and cool sites in Old Town Quito. Take advantage of your spare time in Quito and explore Old Town like a true hipster.

This is not your typical, generic Quito day tour. Avoid the crowds, visit off the beaten path sites and get to know the city in a different way.

Whenever I travel around the world, I do my best to stray away from the crowds and try to find something unique that only I deem special. Nevertheless, its that search for something special that makes exploring an unknown city so great.
