"Discover the heart of Quito: A grand journey through time with fascinating stories."

Welcome to Quito, the city where you can explore the best-preserved colonial center in South America . Experience a tour steeped in history and travel back in time with me. More than a guide, think of me as a friend eager to show you the best things about my city.
We'll begin our tour of its squares and churches, where we'll learn a little about its history, architecture, and famous legends, as well as explore its historic sites freely.

How much does this tour cost?

Free tours do not have a set price ; instead, each person gives the guru the amount they consider appropriate at the end (usually amounts ranging from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).

We will visit externally:

  • The Basilica of the National Vow - Let's learn about its surroundings and its importance within the city.
