It was a cool place to check out with a great guide! Very reasonable, I would definitely recommend this. It says hotel pickup but then the meeting point was about a twenty five minute walk from my hotel. After talking to someone I was able to arrange my pick up a bit closer but false advertising and an inconvenience.

Interesting drive through northern Quito to get to the monument. Bigger complex than expected with various galleries and museums to look around too. Some of these, have timed entries so almost impossible to visit when on a tour with a time limit. A real shame that the ticket entry was only for the complex and didn't include going into the monument. Would have paid the extra if we had only known but a bit late when we were there. Don't forget to take an umbrella as there is little cover when it rains!

Tour guide was very knowledgeable and interesting. The tour around at the equator was equally enjoyable and well worth the extra $4. The trolley dropped us at the hotel we were staying at instead of making us walk from the Holiday Inn which was supper awesome too.
