Overview

  • Live a unique experience. This tour is designed for those looking for a different perspective of the colonial quarter of Quito, accessing terraces and domes that few manage to visit.
    We are in the emblematic Casa del Marqués. You'll recognise me by my hat and National Guide credential.

    From this point we will enter a journey that connects with the history and architecture of Quito. We will discover the importance of its iconic balconies and terraces, which offer panoramic views of the city in 360°. Through height, we will understand how Quito was formed from ancient times to the present, as well as the privileges and challenges of living in a city surrounded by mountains and volcanoes.

    The view will surprise you at each of the stops of the tour. To close the experience, we will visit one of the most bohemian streets in Quito, where we will taste ice cream with exotic flavours that rescue the tradition of Quito.
