5.00Ximena was amazing!! This was seriously one of the best days of our lives. She was kind enough to extend our tour when it went long due to holiday traffic. We have limited time in Ecuador and this tour is a great way to see everything with minimal time. In 14 hours we saw 11 waterfalls, zip-lined, did 2 hikes, crossed bridges, rode in gondolas, shopped, ate delicious food & enjoyed drinks & more. Seriously cannot recommend enough! Ximena was knowledgeable, friendly, personable and really added to an already wonderful experience. Book this!!!

5.00I took a day tour to Banos and Upper Amazon from Quito. My guide Ivan was friendly and helpful and speaks excellent English. He provided much information about Ecuador and the destination. I was able to do indoor activities like my first ever Benji-style jump for $25 and a walk to the waterfalls. Especially the Devil's Cauldron is stunning, walking there and back is a workout for your legs! Before driving back to Quito we had a dinner. Highly recommended!
Great tour to see Banis and the waterfalls

5.00Miriam was very friendly, informative and adaptable on our tour to Banos. Although it is a long drive (3+hrs), the waterfalls are worth seeing, particularly if you climb up the narrow enclosed section to walk behind the waterfall. The crowds were large so there were some delays. We also enjoyed the short cable car ride across the valley and the glass/wooden bridge walk. Miriam explained a lot about the scenery, culture and her life stories - thank you very much. We enjoyed the tour a lot.

5.00Ximena was a wonderful guide for the day. She was able to accommodate us by going to a special place to discover cuy (guinea pig) and the delicious market in Los Baños. Very enjoyable and she helped take our pictures.

5.00We had an amazing experience with Freddy as our tour guide and driver in Baños, Ecuador! He was always on time, incredibly friendly, and very informative throughout the trip. What stood out the most was how flexible he was—he gladly modified the tour to fit our preferences and schedule. Freddy went the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable and happy the entire day. His local knowledge and warm personality made the experience even more memorable. Highly recommended!

5.00There are plenty of opportunities to try exciting and new things, like bungee jumping or zip lining. I had an absolute blast, and learned so much about the Baños area.
