About this activity

The city at the middle of the world, the craddle of andean magic forged by thousands of histories above the clouds, a waltz between nature and divinity, a forgotten poem remembered indistinctly at the humming streets, the Equator the line where you can balance your imagination and the old town part of the city of Quito, an idilic place.

My tour is an experience supported by years of working at the touristic area and also by high empathy to give you an unforgettable memory to enjoy with your loved ones, this is a private tour for this reason I will focus exactly on what you want to get and to learn from my city, my tour has many optional things to visit or to see, so you are in control on what your experience will be.
