We had a nice day visiting the Mitad del Mundo. This tour was really just the driver dropping us off there and then the guide at the monument provided the tour for an additional fee. Our driver did provide some interesting insights into Quito. We were supposed to do a city tour, but traffic was so bad and we could not find a parking space so we just sat traffic around tour for a few hours.
