Quito: Old Town, Teleférico & Equator Private Day TripYou’ll stroll through Quito’s historic center with a local guide who brings legends to life, ride high above the city on the Teleférico cable car for sweeping Andean views, and stand right on the equator line at Intiñan Solar Museum. Expect laughter, unexpected flavors, and moments where you just pause to take it all in.
Quito Old Town: Small Group Cacao & Chocolate Tasting WalkYou’ll walk Quito’s Old Town with a small group and local guide, weaving through plazas and churches while hearing stories you’d never find online. Taste traditional candies and real Ecuadorian chocolate along the way — plus there’s time for questions or just people-watching on Independence Plaza. This tour leaves you with more than photos; it sticks with you long after.
Cable Car and Quito Old Town Private Tour: 13,000-foot volcano viewpointA private cable car and walking tour of Quito combines a 10–15 minute ascent to Cruz Loma at 13,000 feet on Pichincha volcano with an afternoon walk through the UNESCO-listed old town, including Independence Square, San Francisco Church built in 1540, the baroque Church of the Society of Jesus, and El Panecillo's winged Virgin Mary statue. A certified English-speaking guide picks you up from your hotel and leads the full day; the cable car ride and some church visits are optional depending on which option you choose at checkout.Is it for me?Book this tour if you're staying in Quito without a rental car—the guide handles all the driving and navigation, and you see both the volcano viewpoint and the colonial center in a single private day without waiting for group departures.

Quito Old Town Walking Tour: Market, Church & Ice CreamA small-group walking tour of Quito's UNESCO-listed Old Town led by a local guide, visiting the Central Market, Independence Plaza, the Metropolitan Cathedral, and the gold-filled Church of the Society of Jesus, with a stop at La Ronda and a hands-on ice cream making session using South American fruits and plants. The tour runs four hours and welcomes children from age 6 with an adult.Is it for me?Choose the small-group option if you want a guide who knows the stories behind each stop and the flexibility of a shared pace; book the private tour if your group prefers to move at your own speed and skip the market or the ice cream if you'd rather spend more time at the churches.
