Mitad del Mundo is really a must-see! Our guide was enthusiastic and the trip was a lot of fun and a great introduction to Ecuador. : Visiting the crater prior to Mitad del Mundo was also a nice addition to the tour. Definitely recommend!!”

This tour took us to the Mitad del Mundo and allowed us to spend 2-3 hours by ourselves in that place. It's good value for your money.”

This tour was amazing!! Before touring the Middle of the Earth we had a chance to see the beautiful and massive Crater. My 11 yr old son was so impressed he said he would live there! The tour guide was very knowledgeable when visiting the Mitad del Mundo he made sure we understood all aspects of the tour, he asked questions and made it very interesting. The lunch was delicious! There was a travelling band at the restaurant and we bought their CD. I highly recommend this tour!”

Totally worth it! Not only was our guide Alex fantastic, but the private transportation in a very nice bus made the trip to/from enjoyable. Also made friends with other solo travelers in the really nice-sized diverse group. Alex provided lots of interesting information the entire way and at each stop. The first stop is at Pululahua volcano - what an incredible view! We then headed to La Ciudad Mitad del Mundo where you get the first hour free for lunch not included, but good and affordable, then an hour guided tour, and an hour to explore all the other museums/areas entrances included. I know people who have worked there way to the Ciudad Mitad Mundo on their own using public transport and they say it was ok, but took a really long time and they didn't get any of the benefits of having a guide, so if you can afford the tour, I'd say book! :”

My tour guide Andrea was amazing! Enthusiastic and informative. I learned about the city and the trip to the Middle of the World is a must see! They even stamp your passport! I felt like we had too much free time there and would have rather left about 30-45 minutes earlier especially with all the traffic!”

Sorry to say, but this is just a tourist trap where you are stranded for over 2 hours looking at their shops. Use your time in Ecuador better, skip this tour.”
