About us

Local guides for Quito

A local travel agency showing travelers the colonial city, the equator and the Andes around it.

Quito, the local way

Quito Tours is run by a local travel agency from Machachi, in the Andes just south of Quito. Our Quito tours pick you up at your hotel, and our longer trips can start from our office in Machachi.

We know the churches, plazas and streets of the historic center, the road to the Middle of the World and the stories behind them, and we plan every tour around your group.

All our tours are private, with local guides who share the history of Quito and its people.
