Private Tour Explore Quito’s Old Town

It was a good experience and the tour guide, Alejandro, was very informative. Bring cash because some places accept cash only. Be prepared to walk uphill.

Alejandro was an amazing guide. Very knowledgeable and very flexible. We had a great time and I absolutely recommend this if you are in Quito

Alejandro is a very knowledgeable tour guide who took me through the history of Quito in a really engaging way. The tour covered some of the city’s most important places and included great local tastings, from traditional alcoholic drinks and sweets to a chocolate tasting at the end. A great way to discover Quito, learn about its history, and experience some of the local flavors.

The guide arrived an hour and 10 minutes late! And we weren’t told of this until the time the Tour was supposed to start so we just had to wait around. She was good when she got there but that’s a bit much.

Agar was an excellent guide. She was very knowledgeable and explained things clearly and in a fascinating way. She was patient as we took photos at all the stops and even had a great sense of humor. Would highly recommend this comprehensive tour and wonderful guide!

Stefy was an incredible guide. She knows so much about Quito and is happy to share all of her knowledge. She brought us to many locations to try different foods, drinks, and treats. I felt she gave us a perfect snapshot of Quito.

Alejandro did a great job giving our family a tour of the old town area of Quito. We saw churches and he shared local history and information along the way. We also did a chocolate tasting we all enjoyed. We had an abbreviated tour due to our schedule and time but he did an excellent job and focused the tour based on our time table and interests perfectly.

Hello. Our trip around Quito was excellent. The guide was so nice and very knowledge. We enjoyed everything, thank you Viator for this tour.

Overall we enjoyed our tour with Alejandro. We loved seeing the city and especially loved the stops where we learned more about culture and food/ drink. Alejandro had a lot of good historical stories and insight for us into Quito. We were able to customize the tour by going into less churches to make time coffee tasting which we enjoyed.

Our tour guide, Alex, was great! We saw and learned so much. She clearly knew a lot about the history and superstitions of the area.

The guide spoke English well, very knowledgeable and patient. He took the time to answer many questions and was fexible.

Had a fabulous tour with Alejandro. He was funny, very knowledgeable and gave us some memorable tates and experiences of Quito.

Our guide, Alejandro, was about 30 minutes late; but, he did keep in contact. He also seemed to know everyone, so we had a couple of delays as he helped other tourists find their guides and made several phone calls. He did give us several stories at the stops, which was interesting. Some stops we had food samples and drink samples. Some stops we just walked by; as the entry fees were not included, it did not matter. Most of the stops were "friends" and attempts to give them business, but we understood that. I wish we would have taken this tour earlier as it was our last day and we could not enjoy the multiple restaurants that were recommended. A fair amount of walking, but some interesting history and information.

We met at a corner park which seemed to be the spot for a lot of tours. Alejandro was about 30 minutes late, but maybe that is typical. The tour just started and we were interrupted by other travelers looking for their guides. Alec seemed to know everyone and made calls to help, which was fine; but we had to start our tour over. Our tour had a LOT of information and stories, but at times went on and on with no point. We made several stops, but never paid for any admissions. Maybe more of here this is and we could come back later on our own. Certainly enjoyed the shop and restaurant stops with samples and drinks. Alec gave us recommendations, but thought later it would have been nice to actually stay and eat. . . Not sure if we could have as it was not clear on that point. Saw several things that were different from a previous tour, especially the history of the 7 crosses. Wish we would have done this tour earlier so we could have enjoyed the recommended restaurants and museums, but it was our final day in Quito. Enjoyed the tour overall and felt it was a way to find some “local” spots.

Great tour. Stéphanie is very passion about her city. Took us to many places we would not have found on our own! Good value in our opinion...made the most of our one day in quito.

It was amazing tour ever The church was incredible and the chocolate was so delicious . The ecuatorian candy great

Excellent guided tour of Stefi. Very interesting with the small excursions of Ecuadorian cuisine. Very good English.

I loved the tour, Stefy was an excellent guide very willing and informed, it is convenient to wear comfortable shoes and eager to learn.
