In Quito for a day waiting for our trip out to the Galapagos, we booked a city and clocal highlights day tour with Rebecca Adventure Travel. Jovani met us at 9 in our hotel lobby, in his clean car, for a private tour -- just the two of us. We visited the scenic Pululahua Crater park, the Equator Museum (Ecuador nature-themed, with some fun equator demonstrations), and the city's historical center, rich with Spanish-era churches and its Gothic-styled cathedral. A local lunch was included in the old center, with great service--try a local beer. We had just a bit of time for souvenir and local craft shopping. Jovani, whose English was very good, dropped us back at our hotel at about 4:30 pm. This trip was fine intro to the city and was a good value.
