    Judith

    Asked on February 16th, 2025

    Do you have any information yet on what hotel I will be staying in in Quito the first night?

    Accommodation
    • Responsible Travel South AmericaOperatorWritten February 2025

      You will be staying at Yellow House Quito, which is also in the Mariscal area. I will arrange your transfer to stop at Ikala Quito Hotel so you can pick up your luggage before heading to your hotel.

      At what date should I expect to receive my documents?

    • J

      Judith

      TravelerWritten February 2025

      How long is the drive back to Quito? Is there a chance to do a tour instead of a direct transfer? Is there anything to see in between the two cities? Will we be staying in the same hotel the last night, the Yellow Hotel? Do they charge for baggage storage if I want to leave one carry on there during the trip?

    • Responsible Travel South AmericaOperatorWritten February 2025

      Just as you mentioned, the shared transfer from Cuenca to Quito takes about 8 hours. Because of the distance, it is a direct transfer with only stops for bathroom breaks and lunch. The Yellow House Hotel will be your only hotel in Quito, and you can leave your luggage there if needed.

      Judith

      TravelerWritten February 2025

      I would rather do a tour on the way back to Quito from Cuenca that stops along the way.

    • Responsible Travel South AmericaOperatorWritten February 2025

      I will be happy to arrange a private transfer with a driver guide from Cuenca to Quito with stops along the way. The cost is US$ 480.
