Eric_D, Jun 2026

Great hike up Cotopaxi

Great tour. Guide was excellent. Quite the excruciating hike up to the base camp...but I made it. Good time but setting in the back row of the van was very uncomfortable. I realize only so much you can do with the roads...would have preferred to take a bit longer and be a tad bit better ride

Amazing scenery and thrills

This day offers so many exhilarating activities, I was buzzing for an hour after doing the tarzan swing. I have also never zip-lined over a waterfall before so that was awesome, particularly beautiful too. Thank you Josue for providing a great day, you're a kind and positive host.

David_P, Jun 2026

The whole visit with...

The whole visit with Christian was lovely. We visited both sites for the Mitad del Mundo (I find the 'real' one a bit more complete than the 'historical' one, albeit the latter is much more grandiose, and more prone for photos, if that's what you're into). The way up the TeleferiQo and the short hike up there was great to. Magnificent view on whole of Quito. Everything was well organized, Christian even showed up a few minutes early, and guided us through all visits with many info and small facts. Just beware that if the weather turns while you're on top of, or inside the cable car, you might be stuck there for some time as it doesn't operate in bad weather.

A fun high altitude hike and adventure

A fun experience outside of the city AFTER you are acclimated to the altitude! Dario and Fatima were great, they guided us well with the horses and Fatima had lots of patience on the hike up. We had perfect weather even once we were in the clouds by Basecamp. Took it nice and slow so no issues on the hike, and enjoyed some coca tea at the Basecamp. A long drive both ways but that's part of it. Make sure to bring tp and snacks, we did stop at a gas station that had good lunch options.

Mindo Cloud Forest Private Day Tour

June_F, May 2026

Outstanding experiences chosen by you

The trip to Mindo was fantastic. We were able to choose from several activities presented by our guide to fill in our day. We chose; a walk to a waterfall, viewing hummingbirds, riding a zip line bicycle, taking a gondola ride and having a chocolate tasting activities. Note that most activities have a small fee associated with them outside of booking the guide. From $5 -&10 dollars. Our favorites were the bird watching where we were surrounded by incredibly diverse and beautiful hummingbirds and chocolate tasting where we were walked through all of the steps required to make chocolate from cocao beans then we tasted various flavors of chocolate as well as other chocolate products. Ximena, our guide led us through all activities and provided tons of insight on the culture and history of the place.

Day Touring Quito

Spent the day on a jam packed tour of Quito to include many sites and a very nice local restaurant for lunch. Jonathan was a great tour guide with tremendous knowledge of the area and region and accommodated our needs to be back so we could catch a flight to Guayaquil. Would highly recommend him to those who would like a better understanding of the area and an interest in seeing the key sites.

Diverse tour with a great guide

It was a diverse tour covering food, history, culture, and language while getting a chance to walk through the historic center of Quito. What made the tour so exciting and enjoyable was the guide, Vivi. She was so energetic and fun, and did a fantastic job of engaging with the group. Make sure you get Vivi for this tour.

Cotopaxi & Quilotoa Volcanoes Tour All-in-One Day Trip from Quito

Ellen_S, May 2026

Remarkable Ecuadorian Day

My partner and I spent a memorable day visiting the awesome Cotopaxi Volcano National Park and the spectacular Laguna Quilotoa. What made the all-day trip so worthwhile was our engaging and personable guide Andres, who was extremely informative throughout the tour. Adding to the awesome view of the volcano was seeing condors, wild horses, and deer and feeding alpacas.The two-hour drive from Cotopaxi to Quilotoa takes a winding mountain road, but the scenery was amazing, and our driver Jimmy did a masterful job.

Great experience in Quito

We had such a great experience with this tour. Our guide Freddy, was amazing. He was very flexible, engaging, and accommodating. He took us to so many great locations that he had tons of knowledge about. Our kids really enjoyed him and the areas we went to on this tour. Freddy took us to great restaurants, markets, as well as a chocolate tour that our kids loved. We had a great time and I highly recommend this tour.

Private Mindo Cloud Forest Experience

Pennycatterall, Apr 2026

Fantastic day trip from Quito - must do!

Wonderful day trip from Quito! Christian was a fabulous guide - super well informed about everything we were seeing and an excellent driver. We had a lovely 2 hour drive to the Mindo cloud forest and stopped at an amazing hummingbird reserve where the birds flew right up to your fingers. Then a wonderful hands-on private tour of an artisan chocolate factory where we got to select, roast and grind our own cacao beans and then do a delicious tasting. Finally, a stop at a butterfly farm where we were surrounded by gorgeous butterflies in all stages of development. All in all, a great way to spend the day getting to know part of Ecuador outside of Quito!
