Historical Quito City Tour

Highlights / General details

We begin in the northern part of the city with a tour along the most important commercial areas, where most of the hotels in Quito are located. Then we head to the historic center to visit the Basilica del Voto Nacional, where we will make a brief stop and explanation to later reach the Plaza de la Independencia, where through a walking route you will see the Cathedral, the Government Palace, the Archbishop's Palace and the La Compañia Church, recognized for its adornments and gold altars. The tour will continue towards the Church of San Francisco, built in the seventeenth century. (Entrance to churches are not included). Then headed to the Mirador del Panecillo (entrance included) a place renowned for its beauty, where you can admire a beautiful landscape of colonial and modern Quito.

After the tour, passengers can return to their hotel or have time for lunch in the Zona Rosa of the city known as La Mariscal to continue in the afternoon with our optional excursions: Equatorial Monument, Panoramic Quito or Quito by Night & Gastronomic.

All this on board of our original Trolleys, which are a replica of the trams that circulated in Quito in the last century.
