5.00Great day. My son and I really enjoyed the entire day and all the suggestions and recommendations. Ximena was great and provided lots of information on the area. We have her tomorrow for another private tour. Thanks

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!

5.00It was a long day, about three hours from Quito, but well worth it. My guide, Myriam, was very knowledgeable. I was able to see a lot of the Banos area. I highly recommend this excursion as a way to see more of the country.
Banos and Mindo

5.00We did two tours, one to Banos and the other to Mindo. I would highly recommend both. The driver and guide were both friendly and informative. They were also very flexible and accommodating. They also went above and beyond on our trip to Mindo. Both main roads were closed, one from a rock slide and the other from an accident, so the driver very skillfully navigated a back road across the mountain to allow us to do the tour that day.
