Ecuador Condor Viewing Tour

5.00We booked a tour to view Condors near Antisana volcano with Ricky. He picked us up at our hotel in the morning and made sure that we have plenty to see that day. Ricky is very knowledgeable, professional, and courteous. We really enjoyed his tour. His English is great, he was very informative and he made the tour fun. We would have never seen as much as we did without his expert knowledge. We would definitely recommend Ricky as a tour guide, you will be in good hands with him.
Amazing journey to Amazon and Cotopaxi!

5.00What an absolutely amazing experience! The breadth of places you get to go on this short trip is amazing. The tour company, and guides, have everything beautifully set out for your time in both Cotopaxi and Baños. Highlights included rafting on the largest river in Ecuador, a day trip deep into the Amazon and seeing some of Ecuadors beautiful volcanoes. Big thank you to Ricky who really looked after me 🙂
Amazing day at Lake Quilotoa with our fantastic guide Ricky

5.00Since we didn’t have enough time to partake in the full adventure, we joined in for the Lake Quilotoa part of the tour and had the most amazing experience with our guide Ricky! Lake Quilotoa is absolutely stunning, the hike to and from can get a bit dusty, so make sure to bring a face covering. More than just the beautiful natural scenery, what I loved so much about this experience was every interaction I had with the local people who keeps things running smoothly around here. From the ladies who run the gift shops to the men who manage the kayak rentals to the wonderful people walking around with alpacas for tourists to take photos, every person I met here is so honest and nice! We took a motorboat to the lake, and it was so peaceful and refreshing in the middle of the emerald green water. Last but not least, huge shout out to our wonderful guide Ricky for teaching us about the local culture, showing us the gratitude dance, driving us everywhere, and just being the most wonderful travel companion one can ask for. If you are visiting Ecuador for vacation, Ricky is your guy!

5.00Our guides, Pamela and Ricky, were so knowledgeable and warm and accommodating and fun we would highly recommend them! Our plans got changed due to mudslides but everything was rearranged by the time we arrived to comparable activities in Mindo instead of Baños. We especially loved the mountain bike ride and tubing and learning how chocolate is made.
Amazing trip!

5.00Pamela is such an amazing guide! She is knowledgeable and super conversational. She gives you an amazing preview of not only the country but also a local's life. She was such a pleasure to travel with and we wish we could have spent more days with her. Really thankful we got to meet her and looking forward to coming back and booking with Pamela again!
All-Around Great Experience!

5.00I went to Baños and Cotopaxi with this tour company on two separate days tours and everything went according to plan. Pick-up was also on time for their pick-up windows both days. On both tours Mauricio was the driver, and he impressed with his driving skills while navigating tight spaces and apexes without ever touching a tire to a curb (I notice these things!). I also never felt unsafe with him behind the wheel. When you are literally trusting your life with some stranger (we passed a fatality crash with a similar tour van on the way out of Quito), it is important to feel completely safe with the person running the show. Misael and Jessica were great guides, but not only for their knowledge, but for their warmness and genuine care and concern for everyone. I felt more like I was with friends. The hike up to the refuge at Cotopaxi is no joke, but worth the payoff and the views both looking up at the glimpes of the snow capped volcano and looking down at the multi-colored Martian and Terran clashed landscape. Prepare yourself for a bumpy ride on the dirt roads in and out, as well. The teleferico (more like a zip line) was unexpectedly fast and thrilling. The views from and at the swing were lovely. The waterfall hike was stunning. I could have stayed there all day. I can't recommend this tour company enough! I had a 3 day tour booked from another company that they canceled on me at the last minute and left me scrambling to make other plans. The tours I had wanted to do through my hostel didnt fit with my itinery, so I looked for other options. I took a chance from a referral from a staff member at the hostel, and I was a little worried because I was looking at tours through Viator that had established reviews and I really didnt want to be disappointed with my limited time in Quito. I wasn't. These are great people.
