Unforgettable Honeymoon

Melissa_M, Feb 2023

This was an amazing, unforgettable adventure. I felt as if we truly got to experience the best of mainland Ecuador through this trip. The guides were very knowledgeable and friendly. There were a variety of activities: some favorite from the week were horse riding, visiting the hot springs, and visiting indigenous communities. There was a nice balance between being active and relaxing. The accommodations were comfortable, and the food was excellent. Be prepared to be engage in several hours of physical activity each day, open minded about other cultures, and tolerant of bugs, weather and other aspects of nature. We went for our honeymoon and it was truly the adventure of a lifetime for a very reasonable price. I only had two slight issues that were both resolved; the schedule was confusing because the itinerary changed. Also, one of the guides made us pay for an activity, not realizing that admissions for activities were included in our ticket. That was resolved though.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

We are happy you had a good experience with us, he hope you can return to Ecuador soon. :)

Excellent

Maren_H, Oct 2021

Everyone was very helpful at times over the top which was much appreciated. Our guides Carlos, Dario, and driver Jefferson were exceptional and couldn't do enough for us. All the activities and there were many allowed us to leave Ecuador with a appreciation of both jungle and the highlands. Strongly recommend.

Response from Host, Oct 2021

I thank you for trusting us for your visits in Ecuador and we are happy that you have enjoyed this time. We hope to see you again.

Amazing itinerary for a few days away from Quito

irinaa45, Jan 2020

I really loved everything we experienced during the tour. The lodge was magical place with such a high energy! SPA hotel in Banos was really nice and we visited all main attractions. Quilotoa and Cotopaxi are just incredible and must see places. You might have a problem if you don't speak Spanish, because not all the guides can speak English. I was lucky to have Spanish boyfriend with me, otherwise I guess the experience would not be the same. Also I was a bit worried just before the tour as the pickup time was only confirmed the evening before it started and the driver was almost half an hour late. Another thing to mention that included meals did not always correspond to dietary requirements even though I was asked about it before the tour. Luckily I am flexible and I was happy with all the food anyway. :) I would still highly recommend the tour.

Response from Host, Jan 2020

Dear Irina Thank you for your comments, we are glad you enjoyed your trip. We apologize for the inconvenience that arose during your adventure, and we welcome your comments, help us improve every day more. Best regards.

Best Ecuadorian Adventure Tour

Sara_N, Jun 2019

I originally booked this tour for the convenience of having a driver and hotels arranged for us. However Santiago and his team went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. From the moment Jefferson picked us up in Quito every moment was packed with amazing activities and sightseeing. Our visit into the Amazon and Suchipakari Lodge was out of this world. The property and it's surroundings makes you feel like you truly are in the middle of the jungle yet you have all your necessary commodities. Rooms were clean and spacious, food was delicious and Wi-Fi was available in the communal areas. There's even have an amazing massage therapist to soothe your body after an active day. Evelyn was so sweet and left me relaxed and ready for bed after a a long night hike. Carlos and Mateo were the best guides we could ask for during our stay at the lodge. Carlos was extremely knowledgeable about every plant, animal and sound we heard. The whole staff really made sure we had an enjoyable time by even taking pictures for us with their own phones to help capture the great experiences we shared. Once we finished our days in Suchipakari we hit the road again and the fun continued. Although we had a packed schedule Santiago was very flexible to make sure we had enough time to enjoy each activity and rest. Every night ended with a delicious meal and what we felt like were the best accommodations at each stop. I was a bit skeptic not knowing what hotels we'd be staying at but this team does a great job at making sure you stay at great centrally located places. I can go on and on about our magical adventures through Ecuador but it really wouldn't have been the same without Santiago, Jefferson and they're whole team!!!
