Wonderful trip up Chimborazo

5.00My husband and I ( ages 79 and 81) had a wonderful trip to Chimborazo on Sept 17, 2025 with guide Andres and driver Jimmy. Jimmy was a very skilled driver, negotiating both Quito streets and the badly washboarded gravel road up to 15,000 ft on Chimborazo. Andres was very knowledgeable about the area and the 3 1/2 hour spectacular drive passed quickly. We then hiked up to 16,000 ft with Andres. We wanted a private tour since we didn’t know how slowly we might go and didn’t want to hold up others. Andres supported our pace. On the way back to Quito we stopped for lunch at a wonderful local restaurant full of climbing flags and memorabilia, and with a statue of von Humboldt out front. All in all an exceptional day. Highly recommend
The most perfect day to Chimborazo with Daniela and Jimy!

5.00As a couple we wanted to do a full day Chimborazo tour and after doing some research online we decided on Real Dreams. Katty as the contact was patient and flexible with our changing plans. The day was meant to be, we were picked up on time by Jimy and Daniela and the day was perfect. Daniela taught us a-lot about Ecuador, the highlands and the indigenous communities. Her passion and indepth knowledge about Ecuador is evident and was appreciated. She is very knowledgeable and we had a great connection which made the day wonderful. The weather was also on our side and the views to and during our hike were incredible. Jimy drove us safely and stopped whenever we wanted to take photos.Look no further, choose Real Dreams, you won’t regret it.

5.00Amazing experience with Carolina and Pedro in Chimborazo. Professionals, super friendly, transmitted to me many treasures of the region and the country thanks to their knowledge. Very careful, concerned, discreet and open. They know the Ecuadorian road very well and even better the hikes in the mountains. Thank you so much for having accompanied me, guided me and taught me so much about Ecuador, its history and its riches. I recommend them a thousand percent Thank you.
