In order to give our guests the best experience possible, and help them discover the wonders in and around Quito, we became a licensed Tour Operator. After spending the day on your tour, you can return to the comforts of Villa Colonna.

This creates a very personal interaction with our guests, and allows us to assist you efficiently and directly. We are the only hotel that offers private day tours organized à la carte depending on the weather, local festivities or special interest.

We support small, local businesses, and recommend them because they have good quality products or services, and respect the environment. We never ask for or accept commissions to direct our guests anywhere. You will find that our tours and packages boast an incredible value, in both cost and quality.

Because we have traveled all our lives, we are passionate about helping people have authentic, meaningful experiences while they stay with us. We believe travel brings knowledge, open-mindedness and la joie de vivre to all who can experience it. We consider our work as a sincere gift to our guests. During the time you are with us, our unique motivation is to help you to discover and enjoy.
