This was a great itinerary, where we got to see really nice views, did a nice hike up to base camp and learned a lot from our knowledgeable guide Lincoln. Highly recommended. It would be easier if you acclimate to the altitude in Quito but we managed it with one day.

We did a private tour to Cotopaxi as the driver was able to pick us up from our hotel and drop us off at the airport after.
Alejandro was our guide, and we could not have asked for anyone better. He was very sociable with excellent English, very knowledgable, and also a good driver.
The weather is extremely variable, layers are crucial. The hike and the lunch on the way back were our favorite parts.
It was the perfect day trip from Quito before our late flight back that evening.

It was an amazing experience, beyond my expectations. Alejandro was a really great guide, i highly recommend this tour. He was really friendly and charismatic, he paid a lot of attention to make sure we were okay as well.

This was a great experience made easy and fun. Out tour guide Alejandro was highly informative, yes ask him to recite all 96 volcanoes in Ecuador, he knows I let him win the foot race on that last 10m ascent to base camp!
