Tour description


Have you ever been to Quito?

If your answer is no, I haven't, let me tell you that you are in the right place.
My tour lasts four or three hours, it all depends on you my dear travelers, I do not like to pressure my tourist to visit any place, I will suggest the places we can go and you will decide.

This is a list of the places we normally visit on my tour:

  • Basilica of the national vote (Gothic church)
  • Archbishop's Palace (tasting of traditional ice cream)
  • Big square (main square garden, historical information)
  • Company of Jesus (the golden church)
  • San Francisco (one of the most important churches in the Old Town)
  • Yumbos store (chocolate tasting)


This tour is full of fun, you will learn about history, culture, architecture, local food and in general about life here.

Do not hesitate to contact me, more than your guide I will be your friend.
