Overview

I’ll be waiting for you at the Basílica del Voto Nacional, on the corner of Venezuela and Caldas streets, across from the traffic light. I’ll be wearing a hat and my National Guide ID, and I’ll welcome you there.

Discover ancient Quito as you stroll through stories, fun facts, and secrets you won’t find in books. A dynamic walking tour that awakens the senses: local flavors, dances, artisanal chocolates, traditional sweets, and Ecuadorian liqueurs blend with surprising tales and the authentic identity of Quito.
