Ecuador was a beautiful green gem with natural wonders like volcanoes and waterfalls everywhere. The tour was a nice balance of travel with great optional activities which I took full advantage of. The Quito City and Equator tour, the canyoneering, the white water rafting and the Cotopaxi Volcano day trip were all worthwhile.

2. Cultural Walking Tour with Food

TOUR TIMES: 9:00 am & 2:00 pm | RATING : 5.0/5.0 (245/254 5-star reviews) | BOOK YOUR TOUR: VIATOR or GET YOUR GUIDE

For those with more than one day, start your Quito itinerary with a guided walking tour of the historic center . With a 5-star rating and rave reviews, this walking tour is definitely one of the best tours for culture, history, and food lovers. It combines the cultural highlights of Quito with the food of Ecuador .

You’ll get to taste some sweets, chocolate, empanadas , and one of Ecuador’s famous and tasty natural fruit juices . But it is NOT a food tour. If you want a tour that’s more about food, check out the next two Quito tours on this list.

The tour starts at the Basilica . Here, you can take an elevator to the top of its towers for some of the best panoramic views of Quito.

Next, you’ll visit an art gallery displaying indigenous art before heading to the main square of Quito, Plaza Grande .

On the way to the last stop, you’ll walk down the most important street in the city passing by some of the city’s most historic buildings. You’ll stop for empanadas and Quito’s famous natural fruit juices.

The tour ends at the massive Plaza de San Francisco and Yumbos Chocolateria for a chocolate tasting .

Doing a walking tour of the historic center is one of the must things to do in Quito .

“It was an amazing and must do tour! We loved every second and got so much knowledge and interesting facts about Quito and Ecuador! Ivan, our guide, was fantastic, genuine and had an answer to all our questions! We loved tasting all the different things! Being around a local guide in a foreign city was really special!

3. City Highlights and Food Walking Tour

DURATION: 3.5 hours (10:00 am) | RATING: 4.9/5 | BOOK YOUR TOUR: Get Your Guide

Another tour that combines the cultural highlights of Quito with the food of Ecuador is this fabulous tour with Bondabu .

The tour does both the historic center and some off-the-beaten-path places in the city that tourists rarely visit. And it’s heavier on the food than the previous tour on this list.

The tour starts in the historic center where you’ll see some of the most important plazas and buildings and learn about the history of Quito.

Then the tour travels north and gets more off-the-beaten-path stopping at a local flea market .

Next, you’ll find yourself in local neighborhoods visiting food markets to sample some local fruit and trying some local dishes. You’ll also get to visit a cool street art spot.

The tour ends with a sample of the chocolate that Ecuador is famous for as well as a cocktail or coffee .

On this tour, you’ll do 4 food stops .

I didn’t do this exact tour, but I did another tour with the same company (Bondabu), stopping at some of the same stops. I loved the tour I did with Bondabu, so I’m sure this tour is just as good.

“We had a great time with Ernesto that proposed us a non common touristic tour by showing us the hidden face, but also the authenticity, of Quito. Street art, Street Food, architectural buildings (going from French to Arabic house style), markets used by local people. Everything authentic and nice to see for those who really want to know Quito.” Get Your Guide Traveler ( Read More Reviews )

In the morning , you’ll drive to Cotopaxi National Park . Here you’ll walk around the Limpiopungo Lagoon and experience the parks’ surreal landscape. If it’s not too cloudy, you’ll get to see Cotopaxi Volcano.

The afternoon is spent visiting Lake Quilotoa at your leisure: hike to the shore of the lake or just admire the view from the top of the crater.

This is one of the best Quito tours for those who are short on time or those suffering from altitude sickness and can’t do a hard hike up Cotopaxi.

Just a warning: There will be a lot of time spent driving from one place to another.

“Pedro was great! He was knowledgable about Cotopaxi & Quilatoa and answered all our questions. It is a long day but Pedro had great energy throughout. If you are interested in seeing these 2 sites this is the best way to do it in a day.” John_N ( Read More Reviews )

16. Papallacta Volcanic Hot Springs Tour

RATING: 5/5 (37/37 5-star review) | DURATION: 3 – 5 hours | BOOK YOUR TOUR: Viator

Want to relax your weary muscles after cruising the Galapagos or your travels around Ecuador?

Then join this perfectly-rated tour to the Papallacta Hot Springs . You’ll get to soak your troubles away in the thermal hot springs .

Along the way, you’ll go higher and higher into the Andes Mountains with views of the stunning landscape .

After a short stop at the Papallacta Lagoon for some views and photos, you’ll head to the highlight of this tour: the Papallacta Hot Springs Resort . The resort has over 10 thermal pools . Don’t leave the resort without getting a massage while you’re there from one of their professional massage therapists.

For the uber-ambitious, there are also hiking trails going up into the mountains and to a waterfall for you to follow.

If you want to venture to Papallacta on your own , you can get step-by-step instructions in this guide on how to get to Papallacta by public transportation.

You can also book an overnight stay at Termas de Papallacta – it’s well worth it!

“This was an outstanding trip! Our guide Daniel, and his car George, were wonderful! Daniel was very professional and provided a lot of information about Quito and the surrounding area. The hot springs were amazing! Heaven on Earth! The massages were amazing and the thermal pools were so relaxing. You must do the cold pool, too! It was a great experience all around!!” lorioconnor213 ( Read more reviews )

17. Cotopaxi & Papallacta Tour

ecuador tours from quito

RATING: 5/5 | DURATION: 7 hours | BOOK YOUR TOUR: Get Your Guide or Viator

Imagine climbing a volcano in the morning and then relaxing in volcanic hot springs in the afternoon. Sounds like the perfect day, right?

That’s EXACTLY what you’ll experience in this Cotopaxi and Papallacta Tour .

In the morning you’ll visit Cotopaxi National Park . Here you’ll walk around Limpiopungo Lagoon where you’ll get views of Cotopaxi Volcano and experience the flora and fauna of the Andes.

The afternoon will be spent enjoying the thermal springs at the Papallacta Hot Springs . You can enjoy one of the many pools and get a massage. For the ambitious, you can hike in the mountains surrounding Papallacta.

This tour combines the best of both worlds: the mountains and the water of Ecuador.

Expect a lot of driving, but this day trip from Quito will still be worth it !

If you want to visit Papallacta on your own, check out this AMAZING guide on how to get to Papallacta by bus.

“Really enjoyed this tour. Cotopaxi National Park and the hike up to base camp was stunning. The lunch included is typical Ecuadorian in a lovely restaurant with its own little farm and we got to feed the llamas which was fun! I definitely recommend upgrading your hot springs entrance to the quieter baths, much less busy and incredibly relaxing in beautiful surroundings, was a perfect ending to my trip.” Delyth ( Read More Reviews )

18. Mindo Cloud Forest & Birding Tour

RATING: 5/5 | DURATION: 10 hours | BOOK YOUR TOUR: Viator

Located 100 kilometers (62 miles) from Quito, the small town of Mindo is one of my favorite places to visit in Ecuador , and it should not be missed, especially if you’re a birder. But even if you’re not, there’s plenty to do here for those who just like chocolate, hiking, waterfalls, and adventure . What’s not to love?

On this jampacked tour of Mindo , you get a taste of everything that a cloud forest has to offer.

Before you even get to Mindo, you’ll experience Ecuador’s natural beauty with a visit to Pululahua Volcano . You get to stand on the rim of the volcano looking down at the crater.

The first stop in the Mindo Valley is at the San Tadeo where you’ll have one of the most unforgettable experiences of your trip to Ecuador— having hummingbirds feed from your hand . 

The next stop is a butterfly sanctuary .

The tour then takes you to Cascadas de Nambillo . You’ll first take a short cable car ride over a valley and then hike down to a series of waterfalls .

The last attraction in Mindo is a chocolate workshop and tasting where you’ll learn all about chocolate and get to taste some artisanal chocolate.

You can add tubing and ziplining to your tour for an additional fee.

This is one of the only Mindo tours from Quito that doesn’t charge solo travelers extra .

“We had a fantastic day with Pato! He was very friendly and knowledgeable and was dedicated to making our experience special! Seeing the plethora of birds at San Todeo was a lifetime experience! We saw many wild tanagers, toucans, etc plus the many species of hummingbirds will knock your socks off. We also went for a hike to a waterfall, a volcano crater, and a butterfly farm . Also, chocolate. Wonderful day, highly recommend.” amlee7 ( Read More Reviews )

19. Baños Tour

Pailon de Diablo waterfall in Banos, Ecuador

RATING: 4.5/5 | DURATION: 12 hours | BOOK YOUR TOUR: Get Your Guide

If you’re looking to visit the adventure capital of Ecuador, Baños, as a day trip from Quito , then look no further than this all-day, jampacked tour with kind and knowledgeable guides .

Your journey leaves Quito at 8:00 am and arrives 3 hours later in Baños. The first stop is at Manos de Dios , a lookout point with stunning views of Banos and the surrounding mountain range.

Next, you’ll make your way along the Ruta de Cascada (Route of Waterfalls) ending at the granddaddy of them all waterfalls: Paillon de Diablo (Devil’s Cauldron). On the way to the cauldron, you’ll have a chance to go ziplining or bungy jumping.

The final stop is at Casa del Arbol (the Tree House) with more views of Banos and a chance to swing over the valley.

The tour guides get amazing reviews. As one traveler put it: “ Our guide Paul was such a kind person who really took time the give us more than we expected .” What more can you want in a guide?

“ Our guide, Paul, was personable and kind. He was very knowledgeable about everything in Ecuador. He picked a great spot for lunch. We saw an amazing waterfall and he was happy to offer pictures of everyone. 10/10 would recommend ” Get Your Guide Traveler ( Read More Reviews )

20. Cotopaxi, Quilotoa & Baños Tour

ecuador tours from quito

RATING: 5/5 (139/145 5-star reviews) | DURATION: 3 days | BOOK YOUR TOUR: Viator

With a nearly PERFECT 5-star rating, this 3-day tour to Cotopaxi, Quilotoa, and Baños is the most efficient way to see three of Ecuador’s most popular destinations .

The first stop on this highly-rated tour is at Cotopaxi National Park . You’ll start your tour of the park with a hike up the second-highest volcano in Ecuador, Cotopaxi. You’ll only go as far as the refuge, which is at 4,684 meters, where you’ll stop to warm up with some cacao tea or hot chocolate.

Next, you’ll hike around Limpiopungo Lagoon , where if it’s not too cloudy you’ll be able to get a view of the volcano in all its glory. That first night you’ll stay in a hotel near Cotopaxi.

You’ll begin day 2 at the community of Tigua, known for its colorful paintings of Andean life. After that, you’ll visit Lake Quilotoa —take some photos of the lake from the viewpoint and then hike down to the shore of the lake. Finally, you’ll head to the last city on the tour: Baños.

Day 3 starts in Baños with Ruta de la Cascada . This route along the Pastazsa River is lined with waterfalls and ziplining businesses. The route ends at the stunning Devil’s Cauldron Waterfall . The tour ends with a visit to La Casa del Arbol where you’ll get to try out its swing and take in views of Baños and the surrounding mountains.

“To put it simply, this adventurous loop is absolutely fantastic. Not only is the company excellent, but each of their guides brings a unique flair and has an amazing level of understanding and willingness to share, not just about the things in front of you, but about the broader context. They truly care not only about your experience, but about the country and the people (and animals) in it.” Chase_M ( Read More Reviews )

Quito Travel Guide & FAQs

When should i visit quito.

The temperature in Quito is the same all year round (a high of 66-68 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 47-49 degrees Fahrenheit.) Even though it’s at the equator, it’s at such a high elevation that it never gets hot.

Quito has two rainy seasons :

  • March to May with April being the rainiest
  • October to November.

The best time to visit Quito is from June to August as these are the driest months .

How can I get to Quito?

Arriving in quito by plane.

Most people fly into Mariscal Sucre Airport on the outskirts of Quito.

To find the cheapest flights to Quito, first check Skyscanner . I love using Skyscanner. Whenever I search for flights on Skyscanner , it gives me more results than other travel websites because it includes both major airlines and local budget airlines. I also like how it gives a rating system for each result so I know which booking site to trust and which ones not to. I can book with the airline from Skyscanner as well. Try it out!

Arriving in Quito by Land

If you’re crossing the border from Colombia or Peru, you’ll most likely arrive at the Quitumbe Bus Terminal . Quitumbe is connected to the best areas in Quito to stay in by the new metro line and the trolley line.

Is it safe?

Quitumbe is the beginning of both the metro and trolley line, so you’ll likely get a seat, making it easy to keep an eye on your bags. I’ve taken the trolley to and from Quitumbe, and it felt safe.

How long should I spend in Quito?

I would spend at least 3 days in Quito . Plus, do 2 or 3 days of day trips from Quito. In that way, you can see the major attractions, get a feel for the city without feeling rushed, try some of its delicious Ecuadorian food , and explore a less touristy neighborhood.

An overview of my recommended Quito itinerary:

Day 1: Wander around the historic center and do this walking tour (any order).

Day 2: Take the cable car to Pichincha Volcano and stand on the equator at the Middle of the World with this tour .

Day 3: Explore a less touristy neighborhood of Quito with this street food tour . You can read about my review of the Quito street food tour here.

You can add day trips from Quito on days 4 and 5.

Day 4: Take a day trip to Otavalo with this tour that will also take you to Cayambe, Cotacachi, and Cuicocha.

Day 5: Do another day trip from Quito to Cotopaxi and Qilotoa doing this tour .

Day 6: Rest your weary travel legs at the Papallacta Hot Springs using these instructions on getting to to Papallacta

Is Quito safe?

For most visitors, Quito is a safe place to visit as long as you follow a few precautions.

You’re generally safe walking around during the day. But it’s at night when you need to be extra cautious. At night, take a taxi or Uber to get around in most parts of the city including the historic center. It’s best to avoid walking around at night in the historic center or San Blas.

The historic center has problems with pickpockets and scam artists that target tourists. One common scam is to spill something on you and as the thief is helping you clean yourself, he or she steals your wallet or phone.

Crime has increased in Quito recently. However, statistically, it is safer than Guayaquil. Compared to other cities around the world, it’s got about the same level of crime as Houston, Texas .

How can I get from the airport to my hotel in Quito?

There are several ways to get from the airport to your hotel in Old Town, La Carolina, or La Mariscal:

  • Airport taxi – There’s a taxi desk in the arrivals hall at the Quito airport. Pay the desk for the taxi ride. The price is fixed based on what zone you’re staying in. They accept credit cards. They will then arrange a taxi driver for you. I’ve used this service twice.  (US$30)
  • Arrange an airport pickup with your hotel in Quito. This is what I did when I first arrived in Quito. (US$30)
  • Public Bus – You can take a bus from the airport to 3 bus stations in Quito (Quitumbe Terminal, Rio Coca Terminal, and Carcelén Terminal) (US$2). From any bus terminal, you can take a bus, trolley, the subway, an Uber, or taxi to your hotel or hostel.
  • Private Transfer Service – You can arrange one through Get Your Guide (US$40 for 1 person or US$45 for 2 people) or Viator (US$36 for 1 person or US$40 for 2 people)
  • Rent a car – You can book your rental with Discover Cars . (US$77 – $100/day)

Where should I stay in Quito?

I recommend staying in the historic center (also called Old Town) for its beauty, culture, food, and convenience.

The best website for booking hotels in Quito is Booking.com . They usually have the best selection and the best rates.

I wrote an article on the best places to stay in Quito . But for those who want a quick recommendation of my favorite hotels in Quito , here it is:

BEST HOSTEL: Viajero Quito Hostel

BEST HOTELS UNDER US$40: Traveler’s House ,   TERRA PREMIUM & Posada del Maple

BEST HOTELS US$40 – $100: Friends Hotel & Rooftop & Chakana Hotel Boutique

BEST HOTEL US$100 – $200: Casa Joaquin Boutique Hotel

BEST HOTEL US$200 – $300: Casa El Edén

BEST HOTEL OVER US$300:   Hotel Casa Gangotena & Illa Experience Hotel

Wherever you stay, try to get a place with a rooftop terrace for views of the city and mountains . You can check out my Quito accommodation guide for a list of the best hotels with rooftop terraces.

Where can I find an ATM in Quito?

There are 3 major banks in Quito :

  • Banco Pichincha – Transaction fee is US$4.50
  • Banco Guayaquil – It has the cheapest transaction fee of US$1.50

I had a lot of problems getting ATMs in Quito to accept my debit card from the U.S. When I was in the Galapagos, I used an ATM. No money came out , but my bank still processed the transaction. It took me a long time to get the bank to sort it out and agree to cancel the transaction.

I had the best luck getting money from this ATM at the Santa Maria Supermarket in the historic center and from Banco Pichincha in La Mariscal . The weird thing was that the ATM at Banco Pichincha in the historic center never worked for me.

Where can I get a SIM card in Quito?

Three mobile phone companies sell SIM cards and data:

I used Claro in Ecuador and got my SIM card from a phone shop in the historic center. It cost me US$20 for the card and 30 days of 12 GB of data . However, I was probably overcharged. According to the Claro website , this is the rate for prepaid SIMs:

  • US$5 for 15 days and 5 GB
  • US$10 for 30 days and 12 GB
  • US$15 for 30 days and 20 GB

Whenever I added more data and days onto my SIM card, I paid US$10 and sometimes a US$1 fee depending on the shop.

The phone shop I bought my card from was across the street from the Santa Maria Supermarket .

However, for convenience , you can get an eSIM instead. You don’t have to worry about changing SIM cards. Use Airalo to buy your eSIM. They have eSIMS for many different countries around the world. Their prices are pretty good .

Final Thoughts: The Best Quito Tours

These top 20 tours in Quito provide a glimpse into the heart of Ecuador’s capital, showcasing its heritage, national cuisine, natural wonders, and the warm hospitality of its people. Whether you’re an adventurer, history enthusiast, or foodie, Quito promises an unforgettable experience that will linger in your memories long after you’ve left this enchanting city.

Still not sure which tours to take?

Here is my quick guide to the BEST Quito tours:

BEST DAY TRIP TOUR: Cotopaxi & Quilotoa Tour

BEST MULTI-DAY TOUR: Cotopaxi, Quilotoa and Banos

Best Resources for Your Trip to Ecuador

Book your flight:.

Use Skyscanner to find the cheapest flights to Ecuador. They will turn up results for all airlines including major ones and local airlines. You’re guaranteed to find EVERYTHING that’s available and thus get the cheapest price.

Book Your Accommodations:

The best hotel booking sites are Booking.com and Agoda . They have the most choices and they consistently churn out hotels and hostels with the lowest prices. Another site for backpackers and budget travelers is Hostel World.

Book Your Tours:

Viator has the most tour choices of any site in Ecuador. They’re reliable and trustworthy. I also like using Get Your Guide for Ecuador for their excellent service. Both booking sites are reliable and trustworthy, and if you have trouble with your tour, they’ll quickly help you.

Get an eSIM

The most convenient way to stay connected to the internet is with an eSIM. I like to use Airalo for their excellent prices.

Depends if you have any particular condition. Quito is at 2800 meters above sea level. At the Cotopaxi National park the maximum altitude you might encounter if you decide to reach the first refuge parking lot is 4100 meters above sea level.

If you are concerned please contact your doctor.

ecuador tours from quito

Colonial Quito Highlights 1/3

Located in the Center of Quito, the old city holds the essence of the main capital with amazingly well conserved structures like no other place. With a world world recognition as the best conserved historic Center in Latin America – has created great awareness and a positive effect among local authorities, ongoing conservation efforts have been carried out to restore and protect the integrity of Colonial Quito. Dating back to the 16th century the old city breathes history with a fusion of Spanish, Italian, Moorish, Flemish and indigenous art.

ecuador tours from quito

Colonial Quito Highlights 2/3

Architecture

The monasteries of San Francisco and Santo Domingo and the Church and Jesuit College of La Compañía with their rich interiors are pure examples of the so-called ‘Baroque school of Quito’, a fusion of European and indigenous art. La Compañía is probably the richest church in South America with its golden altar. The public buildings are of the heavy Spanish type. Facing on to the principal square are the cathedral, the government palace, the archbishop’s palace and the city hall. The finest building in the city is the Jesuit church, the facade of which is covered with elaborate carving.

ecuador tours from quito

Colonial Quito Highlights 3/3

Getting Around

With so much to see and do, the old city is highly condensed in a relativity small area that allows visitors to sweep the area by walking in the surroundings. Very narrow streets are common throughout the old city, mainly for their old structure that do not cope well and tend to get choked with traffic, so walking is usually the best way of getting around.
