We were not picked up at the provided and confirmed location. Waited an hour. Frantically called tour operator, no answer. Called viator, they also couldn't help. A week before tour tried to contact operator LIV ecuador, no answer at all. Viator was not any help. Don't go with Viator! Ever. Not the first time it happened with Viator. They choose poor tour operators. Don't trust Viator! And they wouldn't try to fix, apologize, nothing!

While not the fault of the tour organiser, I found this tour a bit awkward as I was the only person. It was also just probably the wrong tour for me - there were many activities not included (and I can understand why - they were adventure activities that not everyone would want to do). However, as a single traveller who didn't want to do adventure activities, this tour was a bit flat for me. The hike was nice, as was the cable car, and the hummingbirds were great but probably not value for money for someone like me.

Daniel, our guide, was fantastic. During the waterfall hike, the other person on the tour and I began to struggle and Daniel could not have been more professional, caring, and helpful. The hummingbird experience was my favorite part of the tour.

Daniel was an amazing guide. He personalized our jungle adventure making it very special. The hummingbird stop was spectacular

Our guides Danny and Jorge were excellent. We were lucky enough to have a private tour even though we signed up for the small group tour. The hike through the Mindo forest was a really refreshing change from the busy city of Quito. We got to take a quick ride on a cable car across the forest and on our hike we got to see 6 waterfalls. The chocolate factory tour was great - we got to eat so much chocolate, eat raw cocoa beans, drink hot chocolate, have a fresh brownie baked with the factory's own cocoa powder, and learn how chocolate is made! Overall a great tour and our favorite in Ecuador.
Everyone took COVID precautions - wearing masks all the time. Even the cable car was sprayed down with disinfectant after each group.

It was so easy to let the driver take me to Mindo town where I selected three activities at the tour office. For an additional $20.50 I did the waterfall hike, Mariposa center and chocolate factory tour. It was a fun filled day in nature.

Juan was very knowledgable and he personalized everything based off what we wanted. The chocolate tour is recommended and so is the waterfalls trip. Getting in the water was cold but amazing! Gustavo was also an excellent driver
