Full description
You will begin your tour with a pick-up from your hotel. The tour will then continue from Basilica Church, where you will make a brief stop next to San Juan Mirador from where you will have a beautiful view of the colonial center of Quito.  After walking through the colonial streets, you will then stop at the Independence Plaza to admire the cathedral and the Government Palace. You will also visit La Ronda Street, the Company Church, Santo Domingo Church, Sagrario Church and San Francisco Church, which was built during the 17th century.  After visiting the historical sights, you'll go to the Teleférico. This is one of the best ways to enjoy the city with views of the beautiful valleys, snow-capped mountains and Quito, the capital. From a point at more than 13,000 feet (4000 meters), you will enjoy magnificent views, as well as a horseback riding tour which will last between 2 to 3-hours going up to almost 3 miles above sea level.

It was difficult to meet with the guide at first. The guide didn't come, but when I consulted with the hotel, the pick-up address was wrong. I managed to get in touch with WhatsApp and email, and I was able to meet the guide 40 minutes behind schedule. After 40 minutes, I was thrilled that the tour wouldn't be held anymore, but the guide was very kind and even apologized for making me wait. However, in order to avoid such a thing, I think it is good to check the address carefully when the voucher is issued.
