Quito Walking Tour
Quito Walking Tour
Having picked you up from your hotel in Quito at 8:30 am, we'll set off on our full tour of Ecuador's beautiful capital.
Our first stop will be the Quito Market, where you'll be able to see the charm, tradition and tastes of the Ecuadorian capital for yourselves. We'll then continue on to the Basílica del Voto Nacional to admire the façade of Ecuador's most well-known neo-Gothic religious building.
Next, we'll walk through the historic centre towards the Plaza Grande, where we'll observe the exterior architecture of the Cathedral of Quito, the Carondelet Palace or the Presidential Palace, and the Municipal Building. We'll also head inside the Church of La Compañía, which stands out for its baroque architectural style, and the Church of San Francisco, a gem of colonial architecture.
Also, in the Plaza Grande, we'll taste one of the best chocolates made with Ecuadorian cocoa! Then, we'll head to the La Casa del Alabado Museum, where we'll take a journey through Ecuador's past by admiring a collection of pre-hispanic art and Ecuadorian archaeology.
From here, we'll walk to Morales St, also known as La Ronda, a place full of colorful colonial-style houses. We'll head to a local restaurant to try a typical Ecuadorian dish.
After lunch, we'll go to the Panecillo Viewpoint, where we'll enjoy some spectacular views at more than 10,000 ft (3,000 metres) above sea level.
At 2:30 pm, we'll drop you off back at your hotel and finish our tour.
