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.

Living life up High
Great trip, guide Diana was very knowledgeable. Hike was challenging to get to the swings. Cable car lovely 18 minute ride. Amazing view of Quito from up above. Walk with water, have some coca tea. Chocolate tasting was amazing. Best brownie ever. 10/10

Gracias Miriam
Absolutely awesome experience. I would really recommend that you go to the second hummingbird place ($10 entry), it is hidden away but it is SO worth it.
Our guide Miriam was informative, friendly, funny and relaxed. The pacing and the activities were perfect, enjoyed every moment.
Thanks so much!

Workout with a view
This hike is phenomenal. Yes, it is difficult. Yes, the altitude is a killer - but it's worth it. We were advised against taking donkeys, so elderly folks beware. Lunch was good, not great but the environment and vibes are excellent. Our driver and tour guide were very nice too. On our way to the lake we received lots of information about Ecuador and it's volcanos, but I wish we received a little more information about the lake and it's ecology. Overall, I definitely recommend this for a more physical and exciting excursion.

Highly recommend!!
We highly recommend this tour company for anyone visiting Quito and Ecuador in general. David was a phenomenal guide who truly went above and beyond to ensure all of our expectations were not only met, but exceeded. Despite having only a short stay in Quito, he helped us see and experience so much while making everything feel relaxed, seamless, and enjoyable.
We enjoyed our first day tour so much that we immediately booked a second full day with the company, this time with his coworker Ximena, who was also an outstanding guide. We traveled up Cotopaxi, took in the spectacular scenery, and even shared a fantastic meal together on the way back. Both guides were knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and spoke excellent English.
We could not be happier with the level of customer service, the thoughtfully tailored itineraries designed to maximize our limited time, and the very reasonable pricing. Every detail was handled smoothly, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy our experience. Highly, highly recommended for anyone wanting to explore Ecuador with knowledgeable and genuinely caring guides.

Jorge, our tour guide,...
Jorge, our tour guide, was so amazing. He took us all around Quito the whole day and gave us so much information about the history of Quito. We had such a great time, learned so much, and even tried new things! His food recommendations were top notch.

Passionate and Inspiring Guide
Oh my goodness! Juan was a miracle worker mixed with drill-Sargent ( in a good way) Nothing but positive energy and a mind full of facts and knowledge! So much information about his country and the bio-diversity of the cloud forest. Highly recommended!

Such a great experience,...
Such a great experience, I would recommend to anyone! Tour guides were knowledgeable and patient with us hiking to base camp. Thank you Dario for telling us about chagras and other cool facts!! They send you a list of recommended things to bring the day before the activity. I didn’t follow this but I’d really bringing a change of clothes for after because your clothes might get sweaty and/or wet from the rain. If you have a thermos a warm sweet drink is recommended to bring on the hike to help w altitude sickness. It’s a full day activity so make sure you don’t have anything planned too early in the evening. There was a gas station stop on the drive to the park, which was good for getting money from the ATM too! And at the stop where we rode the horses there is a local woman who sells cute hats, sweaters and gloves as well as snacks.

Good value
Easy to access & showed up on time. We started our tour mid way thru & got off st every stop to look around & 1 hour was perfect. Drivers were very capable & guides were super friendly. A great way to get around & get your bearings when you arrive in a new city

Great experience airport to hotel
Very professional service and very flexible as some of the group didn’t have bags arrive on the flight so we had to get that sorted out and the driver patiently waited for over an hour ! Safe drive from airport to hotel in comfortable Mercedes 10

Not seeing something you are looking for?
As the gateway to one of the most biodiverse spots on the planet, Quito is surrounded by landscapes well worth a trip outside of Ecuador’s bustling capital. As well as taking care of time-consuming logistics, guided Quito day trips let you see the full breadth of Ecuador’s cultural and natural spectrum. Immerse yourself in cloud forests, encircle South America’s most active volcano, step foot on the line that separates the northern hemisphere from the southern, or soak up the otherworldly colors of crater lakes and rainforest wildlife—wherever you go, you're in for a memorable experience.
