Fabulous Quito - Fabulous day! Our guide was outstanding. We use Viator a lot but Kathy was our best ever. Center of the World, Basilica, Casa Agave, Cable Car/Swing/Mtn Hike, Chocolate Tour, City Square and Lunch, etc., Kathy's knowledge and fun style made everything outstanding! Could not have been any better.

You should definitely participate. - It was a great tour, with a well-arranged market walk in Quito that wasn't originally planned, swings in Teleferico, sightseeing in the old city of Quito and a visit to the equator. If you want to explore Quito in a short time, I think you should join us.

Fantastic day seeing a lot of Quito - We had a fabulous day with Ismael as our guide. He took us to the local Santa Clara market where fruit flowers vegetables and seafood were sold. Looks like a place where the locals shop, and it had an upstairs food court area. Then onto the Teleférico cable car for fantastic views and a fun swing overlooking Quito. Plus pictures with two llamas :-)
Then into the middle of the world tour which was excellent, and almost hard to believe unless you see it yourself. We had a fantastic lunch and beer at a local brew pub, and then into the old town for walking the squares and visiting the citadel. Then to San Francisco plaza and we shopped for some local chocolate and tasting at Yumbos - we loved it! Easy pick up and drop off at our hotel, and Ismael was super informative and helped educate us about the history and culture of Ecuador.

Brilliant tour of Quito..thanks Kathy! - Our guide Kathy was fantastic, with incredible knowledge! She picked us up from our hotel, and we drove to the Equator Museum..a fascinating place. Then we went to the Teleferico (cable car) for an incredible view of the city from above (by this time the fog had lifted).
Our visit to the Basilica was capped off by climbing the Condor turret..great views! All up, the tour lasted 9 hours, finishing off with chocolate-tasting at Yumbos, and lunch at a local restaurant ..La Vid.

All-in-one-day private tour in Quito - The private tour with Ismael was fantastic! I was able to visit all the sights in Quito that were important to me in one day (cable car, downtown, Itiñan Museum), and of course, besides the guide's personal recommendations personal preferences were taken into account :). Great explanations and an amazing experience in a wonderful city!

Excellent, comprehensive, fun tour! - Fantastic tour, I could not recommend more highly. I was picked up promptly from my hotel at 9am and dropped back after 6pm - a full day of activities were tailored to suit me. I learned an incredible amount about Quito and Ecuador (culture, history, politics, current affairs), visited many of the important sites in the city and had a delicious lunch. I enjoyed the company of Pato, who was a very professional and friendly guide who has a huge amount of passion for this beautiful and interesting city. Also an excellent photographer! I felt 100% safe at all times, which is essential as a solo female traveller. Many many thanks, Pato for showing me around your city!

Great time in Quito and had a wonderful tour experience. - The whole day was excellent from the beginning. Our guide Kathy was there right on time, and laid out the plans for the day immediately. She was interested in making sure that we had a great day and was full of information and history and all things about her country of which she is clearly super proud. She took us all around the city, up the cable car and to the "Middle of the World". We had a delicious lunch in a local restaurant, and she never rushed us through anything. It was a most wonderful day. Thank you Viator, and special THANK YOU to Kathy.
