Frequently Asked questions
Private Day Tours Ecuador
Q: What’s the difference between a private and group day tour?
A private tour is just for you and your travel companions. You’ll have your own guide, private transportation, and more flexibility with the schedule. Group tours are shared with other travelers and follow a fixed itinerary.
Q: What are the benefits of booking a private tour?
Private tours offer more comfort, flexibility, and personal attention. You can go at your own pace, ask more questions, and make small changes on the spot (like spending more time at a viewpoint or skipping a stop you’re less interested in).
Q: Can I customize the itinerary?
Yes. Most of our private day tours can be customized based on your interests, fitness level, and travel schedule. Just let us know in advance and we’ll do our best to tailor the experience.
Q: Are private tours more expensive?
Private tours generally cost more than group tours, but the price includes a private guide and transportation just for you. If you’re traveling in a small group (2–4+ people), the cost per person is often quite reasonable.
Q: Do private tours include hotel pickup and drop-off?
Yes, all our private tours include pickup and drop-off at your hotel in Quito. If you’re staying somewhere else, let us know and we’ll coordinate with you.
Q: What age range are your group tours suitable for?
Our tours are open to guests of all ages. Families, solo travelers, and retirees often mention how well the group dynamics work.
If you’re traveling with young kids or want to take your own time exploring, we suggest booking a private tour with us. That way, the guide can adapt the tour to your specific needs.
If you’re under 18, you can join with a parent or guardian. Just ask if you have any concerns!
Q: Can you organize private tours from other cities (not Quito)?
Some tours can start from cities like Baños or Latacunga — just ask us. We’ll let you know what’s possible and suggest the best options.
Q: Are meals included in private tours?
Most of our full-day private tours include lunch at a local restaurant. We’ll note it clearly in the tour description.
