Basilica del Voto Nacional, Quito, Ecuador Quito city tour is perfect for seeing fascinating panoramas, churches, domes and roofs that have an important historical value.

Quito, the capital of Ecuador, was founded in the 16th century on the ruins of an Inca city and stands at an altitude of 9.350 feet.

This was a wonderful introduction to Quito and more generally Ecuador with a fine mix of historical, cultural, and social information. Our guide Fabian was charming, knowledgeable and good humoured.

This tour turned out to be a quick stop in Quito because I was going to Las Lajas Sanctuary in Colombia. To say the least Ecuador really amazed me! I wish I would have had more time to stay. I was fortunate enough to be able to go to two main sites Middle of the World (had some delicious Fritada in the square) and Basilica of the Vow. I was told the tour only includes the historical center, since I wanted to tour Middle of the World then we would only make a quick stop in the center's basilica and skip the rest of stops from the original itinerary. I had to pay additional for the change in itinerary and for my pickup outside of the city center- near the airport (in cash). I truly enjoyed it but it was definitely pricier than I anticipated (in comparison to another tour I had the following day- full day). My tour guide was Fabian a quiet Quito native.
