Private Quito: Unforgettable Teleferico & Equator Tour

Our private tour guide was Kathy. We spent the entire day with her and had a wonderful time. She was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. We began at the Equator Exhibit, then went on the Cable Car, followed by the Old Town (City Center), had a wonderful lunch, and finished with a tour of the Old Town and a Chocolate Tasting and tour (outstanding!). We actually made our own chocolate bar to take with us. We highly recommend this tour.

Patricio was amazing. First he took me to a camera shop to get a part for my broken camera. Then a stop at a local market to see what local life is like. Than we took the cable car to the top of the mountain and had a hike with amazing views of the city. The. A historic church in the old city. Followed by a delicious lunch i. The city square. Followed by a trip to the middle of the earth museum to learn about the equator. I learned so much about the culture. Highly recommend this trip

Our tour guide Kathy was very informative, well prepared, and a ton of fun. We really enjoyed our tour and would highly recommend it to anyone seeking an incredible experience getting to know Quito better.

Pato was an excellent guide. We started at a local market and sampled several fresh fruits indigenous to Ecuador. I really enjoyed the Intinan Museum and the Basilica in Old Town Quito. The pace never felt rushed yet we did so much!

My guide in Quito was warm, knowledgeable, and passionate about the city. He didn’t just take me from one spot to another but brought each place to life with stories about Quito’s history, culture, and daily life. His energy made the experience much more engaging, and he answered every question with patience.

Kathy was an excellent host as she navigated the Quito area. Her English and pronunciation were great! So knowledgeable and presented information in bitesized sections and in interesting way. When walking she was aware of our pace and adjusted - which was important since we were not used to the altitude. AND shes an excellent driver! Lunch was another wonderful part of our experience. (It was helpful to bring a little snack and water.) When our flight was changed last minute, she was able to adjust our schedule so we could get back in time. Our time in Quito was very rich and enjoyable!

We love this tour and appreciated the ability to customize. Along the way we decided we wanted to go to the flower market and Ishmael was very accommodating and made it happen. He completely adapted the day to our desires. We shortened some things and added on others. The car was nice, he was a safe driver, perfect English, and 100% flexible. He also helped us take some nice photos. Highly recommend.

This was a wonderful tour of the historic old part of Quito. Pamela was our guide and she was absolutely wonderful. She was so knowledgeable about the sites and has a passionate way of telling the history of her beloved city. We had a fantastic tour of the Basilica, a tasting of local fruits and then on to a beautiful view of the city by cable lift. Then on to a lovely lunch at the center of the world. This was followed by an interesting and insightful tour at the Intinarian museum learning the history of the indigenous people of this area and the geographical significance. This was our first day in Ecuador and a great way to start our trip. Pamela even took pictures for us and gave us great dinner recommendations.

Gustavo was not only a wonderful guide but I feel like I made a friend for life just based on the one day tour. He took me and my husband around the city and showed us all of the sites we wanted to see including the Teleferico, mitad del mundo, downtown, churches, and many more. But the best part was talking about the history and bio diversity of Ecuador - we learned so much and Gustavo pointed out different plants and birds native to Ecuador. We had an incredible lunch as well as trying some of his favorite desserts around the city. Highly recommend this tour! Thank you so much, Gustavo!

We absolutely loved this tour! Pamela was our expert guide. Her level of knowledge is amazing, but her passion for sharing the history and culture of Quito is what sets her apart. Mr Eduardo "Edu" was our professional driver. His expertise allowed us to cover a lot of territory with ease and great comfort. Pamela first took us on a tour of a Quito market, where we sampled many different fruits and learned about each one. We then went to the TeleferiQo to see the amazing views of Quito and the surrounding volcanos. We then toured old Quito by car, enjoyed a BEAUTIFUL lunch (extra cost but totally worth it) and then visited the "Golden Church", Iglesia de la Compañia. Pamela was a wonderful guide, keeping us excited by sharing interesting facts. Her enthusiasm is contagious! Our 10yo daughter just adored her and walked side by side with her, chatting in English and Spanish along the way. Finally, we visited the Middle of the World, Intiñan Equator Museum. The museum had its own guides so we met back with Pamela and Eduardo afterwards. This was cool and fun and a family MUST DO! That concluded our official tour but my partner asked if they could drop us at a barber shop so he could get a hair cut. Do you know these wonderful people drove us to more than one shop in an effort to help?! Pamela even went inside to help interpret. Turns out, out the shops were closing early for the Independence Day holiday so they ended up taking us to our hotel, but we truly appreciated Pamela and Eduardo for their extra kindness and attention. We highly recommend Ecuador a Color tour company and specifically Pamela as a guide. We hope you have the great luck we had being matched with the wonderful Pamela and Eduardo! Ask for them!!
