The tour lasts 3 hours
Available in English and Spanish

Description

Welcome to the city of Quito, the city known for having the best-preserved colonial center in South America. Join me on a journey full of history and travel back in time with me. More than a guide, see me as a friend willing to show you the best things about my city.
We will start the tour through its squares and churches where we will learn a bit about its history, architecture, and famous legends, as well as freely explore its historical spaces.

How much does this tour cost?

Free tours do not have a set price. Instead, each person gives the guide at the end the amount they deem appropriate (usually amounts range from 15€ to 50$, depending on satisfaction with the tour).
