Quito Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Daniel was a great tour guide, seamlessly explaining the areas we visited in both Spanish and English. He was so informative and friendly!

Doing the Quilotoa Tourwith Jorge was amazing. He was very attentive and pleasant giving all the time curious and appropriate facts for the excursion. I highly recommend the excursion, Quilotoa is beautiful and more so if it is von Jorge!

This excursion was a good chance to see Quilatoa and get an opportunity to experience indigenous art and culture. Our guide Irene and driver Marcello picked us up from our hotel promptly. It's a long drive, but we stopped on the way for breakfast. Next, we visited an indigenous farm and learned about their lifestyle. We also got to meet and take pictures with their alpacas. Next, we made a brief stop at a canyon for photos. Then, we arrived at the crater. We were there early enough to see it in its full neon shade. We had several hours to hike, explore, and shop before lunch and heading back. Our last stop was at the shop of an indigenous artist in Tigua who is known for creating masks. Finally, our day wrapped up with a long drive back to Quito. We had a fun time. You'll need cash for all expenses (lunch, souvenirs, etc) after the first mini Mart, but there's an ATM there.

Diana was a great guide. She was punctual, professional, knowlegable and lots of fun! Feeding the hummingbirds was magical and the hike thru the Mindu Cloud Forest was challenging but rewarding and beautiful. Our last stop was a coffee tasting and we loved it! Overall a great experience and a great day! We highly recommend this tour!

Ximenez was a great guide. She showed me what I wanted to see and did her best to get me back to my hotel in time. She knew a lot about the plants and animals in the forest and even took me to a great coffee place.

Overall very good. Our leader was very engaging and helpful. The mic failed but popped and talked to us directly.However, the bus broke down 2 blks from final drop off

We tasted local fruit in the market, took supplies from the Mkt to the cooking school and learned how to prepare delicious Ecuador dishes. We loved our experience. Brilliant tour we highly recommend it.

We had a wonderful time with our tour guide Veronica! She was so kind!! We had our 16 month old with us and she was so understanding the whole time. We loved our time in Ecuador and this trip is a must!

Amazing experience, give your self at least 2 days in Quito as the way to the refuge is ascent and the altitude is high, especially if you are coming from sea level. But the view is totally worth it!! Jorge was an inspiring guide, provided useful information about cotopaxi national park. Jonathan was an experienced driver. Cotopaxi volcano is very impressive

The tour was absolutely fantastic! Michael, our guide, was simply amazing—knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire experience. He made the tour truly memorable. I can’t recommend this tour and Michael highly enough. If you’re considering booking, definitely go for it!

A very relaxing, informative, and fun tour! The sunny weather was perfect to catch a view of the Cayambe volcano. We had an Andean delicacy tasting, a short bus show, and a very unexpected concert! The short walk to the waterfall was refreshing, and shopping at the traditional Otavalo market left us satisfied (and penniless!). Thank you so much, Diana, for all the interesting facts along the way, and to Silvio for the smooth ride back and forth!

This was an excellent and memorable experience. My husband and I really appreciated learning more about Ecuadorian foods and delicious unique Andean fruits. We will definitely be making some of the recipes we made during the cooking class. Highly recommend.

A lot of fun and lots to see and learn. The bus as very nice. The museum was wonderful.Would go again if I had time just to walk around

Great experience! Luis was a fabulous tour guide. He was very professional and experienced. Took his time to show us all the best places in Ecuador.

Is the best way to visit Quito and all Ecuador.. recomended

We are a family and had a wonderful day trip using this operator. Ivan was our guide for the day and he couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. If I was back in Quito, I definitely use them again. MANY thx
