Mindo Cloud Forest Private Day Tour

Melissa_S, Aug 2026

I’d do Mindo Forest again!

The trail to the falls can be steep in areas. The tour is wonderful. The hummingbird experience was absolutely worth the ride! It’s so much more than just hummingbirds. The flora and the tanagers are beautiful and the hosts were so friendly. Xiemma was the best guide. She was very knowledgeable and very easy to work with, always making sure we were comfortable and enjoying our experiences.

Middle of the world and Cable car Private tour

david_k, Aug 2026

Amazing day with Daniel

We spent the day with Daniel and our driver Ricardo routing around Quito with stops at cable car, Basilica, and the equador. They even pickup and drop off at our hotel by the airport as an extra peek! Daniel was an excellent guide and shared many details about Equador history and architecture. He truly loves guiding and answering questions. His knowledge of the city seemed endless. His English was also very clear .. Even people in the back could hear him . I would highly recommend this tour!!

Lovely day in Quito

We had an amazing day touring Quito with Jonathan. He was extremely knowledgeable of the history of Ecuador and Quito and made the tour intriguing and engaging.

An unmissable experience.

A really great day out, Fernando was a superb host. The hike to the base camp is amazing but go prepared. It's cold, really cold, so warm hat, gloves and lots of warm layers are needed. I don't know whether it's mentioned in the itinerary but, if it isn't, it really should be!

Quilotoa Lagoon Full-Day Tour from Quito with Entrance Fees daily

Calin_T, Jul 2026

A valuable experience

This is a nice day trip. The local operator is customer service oriented and flexible. Carolina, the guide and the driver were very nice , polite and friendly. The only challenge lies with inconsiderate tourists. We had a few in our group that chose not to listen to the hiking directions.provided by the guide. Their behavior lead to one hour delay, leaving the lagoon very late and making it back to Quito around 8:30 PM.

Cotopaxi tour from Quito -horseback ride and hike-NO TOURISTY way

Justin_P, Jul 2026

Fun way to experience Cotopaxi

The drive out isn't so long, so that's great. The horseback ride was fun. It was beautiful although very cloudy so we couldn't see much. The hike to base camp was difficult but if you slow it's okay. Again, so cloudy but still amazing. You can eat some soup and have tea at base camp if you don't want to haul lunch with you. Expect to pay $.50 every time you have to use the bathroom 😂. The guide, Dario, was nice and attentive.

Our tour guide Malena was very friendly and knowledgeable. We had a fantastic time walking around the city and visiting hole in the wall food joints. We were pleasantly surprised by the vegetarian option available to us during this tour. Overall, highly recommend doing this the first day in the city to familiarize with the history of Quito.

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!

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

Nico_Y, Jun 2026

Amazing Tour

I had a tour with tour guide Pato. I learned a lot from just a single day and enjoyed every second of the tour. Pato brought me to the the central market first where we tried some unique fruits local to Ecuador. We then went to Teleferico and saw the gorgeous view from the top. Pato was not just a guide but also a photographer who a lot of pictures. Then I was able to ride a swing on top of the mountain and took a photo with alpacas. The next stop was at the middle of the world where I saw incredible experiments related to effects of equator. Then went on top of Basilica devoto nacional.

And Santiago was polite and an excellent driver. Highly recommend this tour!
