5.00A great tour to do if you only have a short amount of days to spend in beautiful Equador. Luis took really good care of us in the private tour with the three of us. Although we could not see the snow-capped cone of the Cotopaxi, it was awesome to climb to the refugio. The lunch at San Agustin de Callo (build on old inca structures, still visible) simply spectacular. In the Banos area, there is simply too much to do, the only regret is to not have taken a 3 day tour, to fully enjoy all the activities. From pick-up till drop-off we had a great time, thanks to Luis!!!
A must: Banos excursion from Quito

5.00Plan a day trip to Banos with Luis, our guide, and Suviatour Tours! If you’re spending a few days in Quito, maybe on your way to Galápagos, and you like outdoor activity or just want to see more of Ecuador than Quito (or GYE), a day excursion to Banos should be on your itinerary. And with Suviatour. Our group consisted of 8 guys, ages 33-51, fit, and one on crutches. We had a private tour in a spacious, comfortable mini-bus. Luis was the ideal guide, wanting to know our interests and tailoring the experience perfectly for the group and individuals who may not want to do all the same activities (zip line, swinging bridge walk, short walks, lunch). Luis also shared so much history, flora/fauna info, cultural insights and more. And as a gay group, we felt welcomed and always safe.
Great guides!!!

5.00We had Wilson and Hugo for our guides to Banos and Cotopaxi, respectively. Both were great. We had good conversations with Wilson in the long car ride to Banos, learning much about Ecuador's people, culture and way of life in the process. He also allowed us to customize our activities in Banos and catered to our needs throughout the 1 day tour from Quito. We were supposed to return by 6pm, but instead got 3 extra hrs because of his flexibility. With Hugo, he was warm and even packed us lunch. We got exactly what we wanted in Cotopaxi, which was horseriding and great views. Highly recommend booking these private tours via Suviatour.
