The Quito Visitors’ Bureau works in conjunction with the Tourism Unit of the Metropolitan Police force to provide guided tours of the most important attractions in the historic heart of the city, as well as sights further afield.

Visitors can choose from various routes, taking in a range of sights such as squares, churches, museums and historical sites along the way.

All of these tours leave from the visitor information centre, on Plaza Grande, inside the Palacio Municipal, on Calle Venezuela at the corner with Calle Espejo. See location in map here
