Excelente servicio, una experiencia increíble, divertida e informativa, los recomiendo, muy amables, puntuales,

My partner and I did a 3 day custom-made tour from Quito, with Julian as our guide. We travelled to Cotopaxi, Quilotoa, and Banos and we had an absolute blast! Neither of us really spoke Spanish, so it was essential for us to have someone who could help translate and guide us around.

It was adventurous and full of activity, but still so relaxing at the same time. Julian and our driver John went above and beyond to make us feel safe, comfortable, and have a great time. Julian is a genius and knows so much about Ecuador including geology, politics, history, and pop culture. It was so fun to get to know him over the few days. The accommodations were all fantastic and the food we ate was delicious. The price of the tour was very reasonable considering how far we travelled.

I would absolutely travel again with this company when we come back in the future to explore the coast and the Amazon! Do not hesitate to book your tour through this company, we loved it!

Best way to get to know Quito. Tour guide and driver were great and kind people. The tour is flexible and the best way to get to know the city.

We booked two tours with Quito City Tour & Travel during our visit to Quito last month. It is one of the best tour companies that we have ever used. The personalized attention that we got was unparalleled. We took the Cotopaxi Volcano & Hacienda (full day) Tour, which was fabulous - breath-taking scenery, a vigorous hike and a lovely horseback ride. We also took the Quito Historical Center (half day) Tour, which was very interesting. Our guide, Santiago, was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable and helped to made our tours unforgettable. I highly recommend Quito City Tour & Travel

4worldlovers:
Step into a world of Adventure with CarpeDM, the award-winning tour operator and agency in Ecuador. Established in 2007, we've been recognized as a Travellers Choice winner for 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020, and have received a Certificate of Excellence Hall of Fame award from 2016 to 2019. As a preferred supplier for G Adventures day tour activities in Ecuador, we're your go-to for unforgettable experiences.

We are proud to be part of the "Slow Travel" movement, where we believe in being present and savoring time without the rush of ticking off bucket lists. In Ecuador, time moves at a slower pace, which is reflected in our approach to travel. Visit us at our offices in Quito, located at the Basilica Voto National, where the clocks in the bell towers have stood still for years - a reminder that Ecuador demands patience.

Slow Travel is all about connection: to local people, cultures, food, and music. It's a sustainable approach that creates the perfect travel experience, immersing you in the local culture, educating you, and leaving an emotional impact both in the present and future, while remaining sustainable for local communities and the environment. Our projects in the Amazon are the epitome of this style of travel. While not all of our trips are fully optimized for Slow Travel yet, most incorporate some aspects of "Flow Style". Together we create "Slow Flow".

Our "Flow Style" rankings for each trip are based on 3 core characteristics: Novelty, Complexity, and Unpredictability. There are 22 Flow Triggers, driving attention to the present moment. However, we just focus on the 3 for now, our goal is for you to feel alive and in the "Flow" state. The higher the ranking on the Flow Style, the more likely it is to push you out of your comfort zone. If you are here, you're ready to experience more novelty in your life. The more risk you take, the more likely you will enter the "Flow" state. We strive to provide a challenging yet safe environment, so you can surrender to the unknown.

Vaccinated? if so you no longer need any tests to come to Ecuador!

The Ecuadorian government has changed its rules and if you have been vaccinated you are no longer required to have to bring any sorts of tests to enter the country. The ruling came out on the 18th of March but begins to take place starting the 22nd of March 2021. If you have not been vaccinated you can still enter the country but with an antigen test done 3 days prior to arrival or a pcr test done in the same amount of time!

We found out about the Free Walking Tour Ecuador from our hostel, Community Hostel, as we arrived to Quito and it couldn’t be a better introduction to this beautiful city!

I generally do the free walking tours in most cities when I’m travelling, and Ovi’s was definitely one of the most fun. His tour is a really great way to get to know the city, learn about Ecuador’s history, and taste some local food and sweets. Ovi is a fun & friendly guy with a lot of energy, and he really makes you feel at home and comfortable straight away. I would really recommend doing this tour in Quito, and I might even do it again while I’m here!
