Christian was an amazing tour guide. He was punctual, informative, and very enthusiastic about sharing his knowledge of the area. I learned a great deal about the history and the landscape of the area.

O passeio foi insatisfatório, a estrada do parque está em péssimo estado, não vimos o vulcão estava totalmente nublado, o que é muito frequente pelo visto. Nós vimos apenas um pequeno lago, percorremos uma distância mt grande. O guia era mt gentil e delicado, procurava nos informar e ser agradável.

Dear Client, Thanks so much for sharing your comments about the trip but you booked a tour to visit a volcano and the weather condition is out of our hands, it is so umpredictable and the road condition is due to the rain. People how like the nature must expect the visits or excursion in the nature is subject to change for many reasons. You could also notice the weather condition was the same in Quito city, it was everywhere and we just provided the service you book to..so we think this report is not focused well. Best regards Cristian Ecuador Local Guide Staff Portugues Version Caro cliente, Muito obrigado por compartilhar seus comentários sobre a viagem, mas você reservou um passeio para visitar um vulcão e as condições climáticas estão fora de nossas mãos, é tão imprevisível e as condições das estradas são causadas pela chuva. Pessoas como a natureza devem esperar que as visitas ou excursões na natureza estejam sujeitas a alterações por vários motivos. Você também pode notar que a condição climática era a mesma na cidade de Quito, estava em todos os lugares e nós apenas fornecemos o serviço para o qual você reserva .. então achamos que este relatório não está bem focado.
