Very Nice Half Day Tour

4.00We had a half day free in Quito and this was a perfect excursion to fill that time. Our tour guide Andres was very knowledgeable and friendly. We were pleasantly surprised that the trip included both a driver and a tour guide. The car was comfortable and the driver was very safe. The volcano overlook is a short scenic stop. The Middle of the World park is only $5 US each and has several small informative exhibits and gift shops, so it's not overwhelming and we had ample time to walk around and shop a bit.
