The colonial old town of Quito is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in recognition of its fine colonial-era architecture. So if there is one must-see site in Quito, then this is it! Our Quito Old Town tour showcases the very best of the splendid plazas & churches here.

On the day, your itinerary is flexible. Your guide will discuss the options with you, so you can choose your preferences.

Some of the activities/visits that you can choose to include in your 1/2 day itinerary are:

  • Climb the tower of the imposing Gothic-style Basilica church for great old town views.
