Looking for a private city tour in Quito with a local guide? Explore the city at your own pace, from its historic churches and plazas to panoramic viewpoints and the Equator line—without the rush of a large group.
I'm Marco Herrera, a licensed National Tour Guide of Ecuador. I help you experience Quito with personal attention, bilingual guiding (English and Spanish), private transportation and a flexible itinerary. We can explore the UNESCO-listed Historic Center, El Panecillo, the Intiñan Museum and the Middle of the World Monument, adjusting the day to your interests and pace. Contact me directly to plan your private Quito city tour.
Human pace, clear stories, and safety. Quito is dense with detail—I show you the essentials (and the hidden corners) without rushing, and I adjust the order with weather, traffic and your energy in mind.
Thoughtful stops, smooth access, time for photos and coffee. You decide how many interiors to visit versus admire from outside.
El Panecillo in the best light; if you're keen, we can add Pululahua crater with prior coordination.
We can include La Ronda, TelefériQo, Botanical Garden, Capilla del Hombre, Iñaquito market, Casa Agave—or even plan a second day to see it all.
Order adapts to weather, traffic and interests.
Duration: 8–9 hours (recommended start 08:30).
What to bring: comfortable shoes, a light jacket (mountain weather), sunscreen, water and cash.
