About this activity

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.
