It remains the least-altered historic center in Latin America and has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

I spent two days touring with Friends Expeditions - one day on a tour of Quito's old town and a second day tour to Otavalo. I was blessed with having Marcos for my guide, and Alix for my driver. I came to know and love Quito after our first day, especially as Marcos shared little tidbits about the city, the people, and the food that I would not have discovered on my own. I was there as a photographer, so Marcos did an excellent job guiding me to some great locations for photos. Alix was always waiting for us with a big smile. It was a joy to share both lunch and dinner with the two of them. I haven't planned on visiting Otavalo, but after our first day together, we all agreed that a trip to the markets in Otavalo would be the ticket for an exceptional second day! You can't go wrong with Friends Expeditions!

Beautiful crater! Ecuador Hop is a great company with excellent guides. The hike down to the crater is very sandy, long and tough - bring sturdy shoes like hiking boots.

My wife and I were fortunate to be able to take a private tour while in Quito during COVID lockdown. Our itinerary included The Museo de Sitio Intinan, the Casa de Agave distillery and museum, lunch at Panorama, and a drive through the Quito Historico Centro and up to the Mirador de Panecillo. Our tour guide, Diana, was exceptional. She had a great command of the English language, was very personable, and very knowledgeable about every place we visited throughout the day. She went above and beyond to make the day a very personal and special one for us, including taking pictures of us and for us throughout the day. Our driver, Carlos, was also wonderful. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Quito!

I had only one afternoon in Quito to sightsee. I contacted Ecuador's Best Tour with late notice by email and Luis replied right away. Luis has a great laid back, no worries attitude and assured me he would take care of everything and pick me up at my hotel. He arrived early to pick me up. I was thrilled to visit the beautiful Church la Compania. Luis was very knowledgeable about the history of the church and architecture. Next we visited a beautiful view of the city with the statue Virgin of El Panecillo. I only had a few hours to visit and Ecuador's Best Tours really helped me make the most of my visit. I highly recommend booking this with this company and you will be lucky if Luis is your guide. His English is extraordinary and he's just a pleasant guide to be around. I have toured many places around the would and I would say Luis was one of the best guides I have encountered. I got some great photos from my visit and hope to return someday. I would certainly use Ecuador's Best Tours again.
