QUITO DAY TOURS

Half-Day & Full-Day Tours of Quito

Exploring Quito

The city of Quito is perched atop a 9,350 ft (2850 m) plateau surrounded by volcanoes in the middle of the Andes. Founded in 1534 by Spanish conquistadors, Quito possesses the best-preserved and least-altered colonial city centers in Latin America, earning it a UNESCO World Heritage City designation.

The city is known for its unique Baroque School of Quito style of art and architecture, combining indigenous and European artistic traditions - most notably in the monasteries of San Francisco, Santo Domingo, and La Compañia Jesuit church.

Half-Day Tour

Explore Quito’s Old Town on foot, visiting the monastery of San Francisco, La Compañia, Basilica, Museo del Alabado, and Panecillo.
