The cable car ride and view of Quito was amazing! My partner is afraid of heights, but he felt perfectly comfortable in the safe enclosed gondola-style car. We also loved touring the magnificent Basillica and the view from the Condor tower. Micheal our guide was so knowledgeable about the history of Old Town Quito and the surrounding areas seen from Tereficio. Don't miss this opportunity if you're in Quito.859Indiana

Miriam was warm and genuine, and generous with her time. The Teleferico was initially closed and we waited quite awhile and had to return later that day. She did not seem to mind the delay and was always good natured, informative and a pleasure to be with.

Luis was prompt, professional and friendly. He has been a guide in Ecuador for over 20 years and his knowledge of the history of Quito was impressive. He spoke English perfectly. We had a great day!

Adorei! Uma experiência incrível! Sugiro se proteger com bastante roupa, pois faz muito frio. São 4.150 m de altitude acima do nível do mar. Tomar um chá de coca, no restaurante com vista, é magnífico! O chá auxilia a minimizar o efeito da altitude sobre a respiração.
