Your guide and driver will meet you for a tour of the city. You will begin with a panoramic view of Alameda Park and the Basilica, followed by a walk down the street of seven crosses. The tour will focus on the historic centre of Quito, one of the first areas to be declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1978. Some of the highlights of the pretty cobbled streets include Independence Square, the presidential palace, cathedral and gold-plated La Compania Church and grand San Francisco Plaza.
