Itinerary
We will begin the tour by meeting on the United Nations Boulevard and then start our experience touring the city of Quito.
Pass by: The bus begins its journey through Parque La Carolina, considered the green lung of Quito, surrounded by modern buildings and cultural centers that show the contrast between tradition and modernity.
Pass by: We continue to La Mariscal, one of the liveliest areas of Quito, known for its nightlife, restaurants and cafes. From the bus you can observe the vibrant and cosmopolitan atmosphere of this neighborhood full of history and movement.
The bus enters the Colonial Quarter, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As we go, the cobbled streets, colonial facades and illuminated churches reveal the unique charm of historic Quito at night. There we will stop to get off the bus and take a walking tour. We will visit the Plaza Grande, political and social heart of the city, and the Calle de las Siete Cruces, one of the most emblematic roads, full of legends and overlooking imposing colonial churches. After the walking tour, you will have free time to enjoy your own way.
At the end of the experience, we will head back to the starting point on United Nations Boulevard.

Traveler reviews
Fabulous night bus & walking tour Quito
A great introduction & overview of beautiful Quito city and the floodlit buildings. The guide was excellent & she skilfully switched between Spanish & English. And kindly offered to walk back with me to my inner city hotel.
Tangol moved us last minute onto a big red bus tour with another company!
Tangol moved us onto the Big red tour bus last minute. We were the only two English speaking people on a full bus. We were supposed to be on a small group tour aboard an old travel cart not a big bus. We were supposed to go to Panecillo hill but the big red bus dies not go there at night so we missed out. No explanation as to why we were moved to another tour with another company! I recommend booking with the red bus and NOT with Tangol!
