We had a fantastic day in Quito today with Irene and Manuel. Irene shared wonderful history and context about Ecuador and Quito in particular to help us understand the culture. Starting at the food market was great. We had some tasty bites and delicious fruit juices. Walking around historic Quito was fun and the chocolate tasting was a terrific bonus. Through it all Irene continued to point out interesting architecture and cultural insights. Her flexibility in helping us find and visit the shop of Olga Fisch was very much appreciated. We had read about Mrs Fisch. Getting to buy a few things there and meet her grand niece was so special Manuel was terrific in navigating us through the streets and always arriving right on time as we were completing a stop. Thank you Thank you to a dynamic team!!. We have thoroughly enjoyed our time in Quito.

Excellent introduction to the city - the history the people the custom… Daniela was warm, knowledgeable, professional, and full of energy. She gave me good tips on restaurant and chocolate places and took great photos of me. Highly recommend.
Diana was absolutely incredible! She was informative, personable, and so energetic! The tour was stunning, and some of the most beautiful sights we’ve ever seen! We went on the hop-on/hop-off bus and loved the tour and views from the top of the open bus! Visiting La Compañía, and the domes of Santo Domingo was such a highlight! Diana also helped us take pictures, suggested poses, and even brought a really cool colorful umbrella we could use as a prop! We learned a ton about the city, about some of the religiosity in Quito, and enjoyed every moment! You will not regret going on a tour with this company- they do incredible work 😊
We had a wonderful city tour with Irene. She is passionate and made us feel at home. Starting with the Basilica, We walked the streets learning about the history, buildings and people. We were offered different options to other churches, candy & chocolate places and more. We went up to «el paneciello» where the large aluminum statue of the virgin mary stands, then headed to the « teleferico » to view the city from 4,100 meters, walking to the swings ‘to touch the sky’. A beautiful visit. Thank you sooo much IRENE to have made this possible
Irene was the best guide we could have had. She was so knowledgeable, personable and was conscious of providing us with an interesting tour
Took this tour with Irene this morning. She was so fabulous. She was full of fascinating history and information and the ability to answer all of our questions with additional flavor. Her enthusiasm and pride in the historic places in Old Town is so evident combined with her knowledge of all things Ecuador wide. She showed interest in our background and our relationship to this part of the world and we had so many great conversations. Can’t say enough great things about this experience. Highly recommend!
Irene was amazing. Highly recommend! She is very knowledgeable, and very enthusiastic. So many delightful and surprising stories about the history.
A must! We did the evening tour of Santa Clara, and it was absolutely SPECTACULAR. I cannot recommend it enough. We drove through the city in an open double decker bus and got an overview of many different neighborhoods. Diana is a delight, super energetic and fun. Walking around on the domes under a full moon was magical. You are in for a great treat- such a wonderful experience!!!!
This was the best of the best, Jessica knew every historical detail of the city very well. His extensive cultural knowledge was proven at each historic site and her kindness was so good, that we really liked.

The Quito Tour Bus staff is lovely! They do everything possible to make you feel good and have fun. I loved living the experience with them ❤️
If you want to know Quito from another perspective. This tour is perfect. The attention is personalized and your guides are amazing!
It is wonderful to coincide with an organized team, with a wonderful energy that raises any mood, they waste vocation so they do every day what is transmitted in safety to the tourist, they are very fun and the example that teamwork with good attitude leaves marks in the hearts. I learned so much about the city and life!!
I loved it from start to finish, the energy of the guides and the charm of the capital was a sensational fusion.
Quito is a beautiful city, I am delighted with everything that is Quito of its history of architecture, my favorite part was from the beginning of the tour to the end, and I recommend to the other visitors to enjoy that moment so much because our city is a marvel... QUE VIVA QUITO!!! ❤️💙
It was an amazing experience. From the Welcoming at the United Nations it was amazing how the guides were telling us interesting things about the ornaments of the city, flora, details of our whole tour. We live in Quito but I hadn't stopped to really admire him. Visiting the Basilica was unforgettable and reaching the heights of the towers makes you forget everything. It's an experience worth living. The view of the city is really beautiful and worth it. I would definitely repeat my experience again!
Very cute.. very organized, fun.... with the best tour guides, interesting that tourism is encouraged in this way in the country, waiting for more routes to enjoy them
Everything's great. Transport. The guides are excellent. It's worth the tour. Loved it. And I congratulate you.
Very good attention, the attitude and energy of the guide made the tour very pleasant and exciting. 100% recommended.
Very good attention and great Mood, I found it super interesting to be able to enter such intimate places of religion in Ecuador.
Very good tour, lively and with all biosecurity measures, you can admire the city center. Fully recommended
I loved , to know more about Quito, climb to the domes and see from there the city, it was beautiful
One of the best tour of the domes of Santa Clara Church, and at night is the best view of the historic center
Knowing the Churches of our beautiful Quito is like traveling in a time machine. They are beautiful feelings that appear at every step of the way, without doubt a unique experience. One hundred percent recommended.
It is always essential to visit the CHQ, especially now in the pandemic. The tour to the domes of Santa Clara Church was great (and) congratulations to Quito Tour Bus and its protagonists.
A highly recommended tour for those who want to know more about the hidden treasures of Quito and its religious art. A contrast between the modern city and the preservation of the historic city center. The visit to the oval domes of the church of Santa Clara is a unique experience from where you can appreciate the domes of the nearby churches of the historic center, the Virgin of Panesillo and the city in general. The Friendliness of the Convent Sisters, their Openness and Welcoming with their Sweets, Wine, Bread, Essences... complements a unique and unmissable experience 🥰🥰
Learn more about the Historic Center of Quito, the information they share is very good. Also the visit to the Convent of Santa Clara and being able to climb to the domes was a unique experience.
Definitely a unique tour. Getting to know the domes of the Church of Santa Clara, entering the convent, sharing a few minutes with cloistered nuns, meeting and learning so much in no time is priceless ... check that Quito is Cultural Heritage of Humanity by Diana was the magic of this day!!
