Really great tour. Had a...

Really great tour. Had a great time horseback riding around the park with the beautiful scenery. The hike up to the base camp is tough but you are able to take it slow. I recommend hiking shoes as the routes are sandy and gravely. Fatima and Dario were excellent tour guides. Highly recommend!

Private and Personalized City Tour of Quito Teleferico and Middle of the World

AUDREY_D, Aug 2026

My husband and I flew...

My husband and I flew into Quito for a one day layover on our way home after a Galapagos tour and decided to make the most out of the day with a day tour. I booked it a mere 13 hours prior and we were paired with Galindo as our guide. He was a very experienced tour guide, knowledgeable, and also took great pictures of us along the way. Galindo’s English was excellent, but it was still nice to be able to practice my very rusty Spanish with him without feeling embarrassed since I never really had a chance to speak much in Galapagos. Galindo catered our tour to our preferences and took us to a really cute restaurant for lunch that had good food and our table had a nice view of Independence Square. We really felt like we got a good taste of Quito by the end of the day. We were tired but it was worth it!

Cotopaxi Full-Day from Quito Including Entrances

Karlena_S, Aug 2026

Excellent excursion

This was a wonderful excursion and I highly recommend it to anyone considering a day trip to Cotopaxi! Jorge was a great guide and Jonathan a talented driver. All the stops were excellent and the entire trip was super comfortable. You don’t have to hike up to the refuge unless you want to so this is good for active hikers and the curious alike. Also, the trip included people from around the world but especially Latin America and even Ecuador — that’s how you know it’s really good!

Mindo Cloud Forest Private Day Tour

Sara_R, Aug 2026

The highlight of our trip!!

This was one of our favorite days. Our driver was a wonderful man and a safe driver which I really appreciated. He was very patient and loving with my daughter. We had so much fun. He never rushed us. We spent time feeding the hummingbirds- we learned so much. Tiny toucans even showed up right next to us. We did a fun hike through the rain forest and my daughter loved the cable car. So much so she decided to go ziplining after. These memories we will have forever of beautiful Ecuador. The food at the restaurant was fresh and lovely.

Gustavo, our tour guide...

Gustavo, our tour guide was the absolute best. Saw everything requested, with no rush. Gustavo was knowledgeable, informative, and extremely sociable. He knew all the indigenous history at the volcano, identified all the bird life at Mindo and other birding spots, leading the hike at Mindo, etc. Finished late at chocolate factory, enjoyable and interesting. I picked this tour because of strong reviews praising different guides. Gustavo was amazing; flexible to needs of individuals; never rushing us through different stops until our interests were met. Pick this tour.

Baños Full Day Tour from Quito Including Entrances and Activities

Nico_Y, Jun 2026

Incredible Experience. You should try!

This is a well organized & incredible tour with an amazing & incredible tour guide Jorge. Of all my 4 tours in Ecuador, He is the best tour guide that I’ve encountered. From breakfast, he took our orders already before we reach the restaurant so everything is ready and smooth. He took us to our first stop, which is the Swing to the edge of the world. There he nudged us to do the swing even though I was scared, that experience was exhilarating. I’m glad he convinced me to do it, plus he took a video and photos of the while experience. Then, we went to the adventure park for extreme activities. The only thing I did was the walk to glass bride, but the view up there is also gorgeous. The third stop was to the open air cable car… again, it was a nice experience outside of my comfort zone. Grateful for the chance to experience hanging, basically, on a huge metal basket in between canyons and with the view of a majestic waterfall and the river thousands of feet up. Lunch was in a very artsy restaurant, loved the vibe so much. Last but not the least, we went to the devils couldron waterfalls. Again, Jorge lead us to the most beautiful spots in the site and took pictures of each of us with the view of the mighty waterfalls. Epic view and experience! Recommended 10000%. Thankful to our driver Jimmy who drove us to the various sites and watched over our belongings throughout the entire time. Take this tour!
