The actual activities...

John_H, May 2025

The actual activities were wonderful. Cecilia from horseback riding went above and beyond and did so much to help me feel at ease during the ride in. The middle of the world museum was interesting. The museum provides a guide for you in a small group. As for our guide we had from viator he wasn't the most communicative nor informative. We were also supposed to stop for lunch which we did not do but he did offer to drop us off at a restaurant several streets away from our hotel for us to find our way back. We declined as it wasn't a good area between the two places. Overall the two activities were great but take a pass on the guide. If you just need transportation then sure but if you want to know what you are seeing on the way maybe choose another tour.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Dear John, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We're happy to hear that you enjoyed the horseback riding with Cecilia and the visit to the Middle of the World museum — both are indeed special and enriching experiences, and we’re happy they met your expectations. We also want to sincerely apologize for the aspects of the tour that didn’t meet your expectations, particularly regarding the guide's communication and the missed lunch stop. Your feedback is extremely valuable and helps us identify areas where we can improve. We are currently reviewing this case internally to ensure our guides provide not only transportation but also engaging and informative experiences throughout the tour, as this is the standard we strive for. Please know that this is not the level of service we aim to offer. Your comments have been shared with our operations team, and we are taking steps to prevent this from happening again. If you're ever back in Ecuador, we would love the chance to provide you with the quality service that so many of our guests appreciate. Warm regards,
