Overview

This tour is for experts at avoiding tourist traps, who revolt at insipid food, and those who couldn’t bare leaving a city not really sure about what they just saw.

Quito is brimming with secrets, but a tapioca rendition worried about grappling with its complex history is going to leave out all the juicy good parts. While you will see many of the usual stops in the Historic Center, I’ll break down their significance in Quito’s 500 year struggle over its identity. As a backdrop to the story, we'll visit:

- El Panecillo
- San Francisco Church
- La Compania ($4.00 Included)
- La Plaza Grande
- My Favorite Ecuadorian Chocolate Brand
- Basilica de Voto Nacional

What we won't do: bore you with dates and names or pull any punches.
What you can expect: an intimate in depth look at why visiting Quito was a great choice.

We’ll finish with a great lunch with a beautiful view where you can ask me where to find the best beer, nightlife, vegan food and anything else that comes to mind.

What's Included

Along the way we might grab a snack and look at my favorite (and best priced) Ecuadorian Chocolate. We will finish up with the best $7.00 lunch (included) with a great hidden view of the city.

What To Expect

Iglesia y Convento de San Francisco

The first church built in Quito, its enormous scale and presence made was replicated throughout the Spanish colonies. Its purpose was more than just a religous one.

40 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

Fundacion Iglesia de la Compania

The most visited church in Quito. Behind its famous gold leaf is an epic story of the prominent political role the Jesuits played in the country.

60 minutes • Admission Ticket Included

Plaza de la Independencia (Plaza Grande)

How did this colony transition to a nation state and who got credit while others were overlooked? The Plaza Grande is a great backdrop to the complex and unfinished battle for a nations identity.

30 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

Basilica del Voto Nacional

This immense basilica is one of the newest monoliths in Quito, and a towering symbol of a failed theocratic state. We grab some great pictures.

45 minutes • Admission Ticket Included

Plaza de Santa Domingo

We will finish with lunch at a cool, tucked away spot overlooking the plaza
