The Quito tour bus was an excellent and safe way to see the whole of Quito including the Old Town.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Airport a long way out and transport options not great, taxi USD 25 one way to city. Bad transport pollution in the city Scenery spectacular and amazing

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveller

Not an easy place to get around, and need to keep your wits about you for petty crime. You will stand out as a tourist!

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

The food was great in Quito and good restaurants at Quito Airport Centre just across the terminal above the car park. Never expected to pay such reasonable prices for food at airport terminals. There is also a 24 hour chemist to get SIM card .

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Old town is great during the day, but didn’t really like it at night. Plaza Foch has lots of good places for the evening, but can be very quite on the surrounding streets so walking around in your own can feel unsettling.

3/5 - Okay

Not really had chance to spend a lot of time here yet
