We had just returned from an 8 day trip in the Galapagos and hed arranged a half day trip with Frank. He was very informative about the city, and the different ecosystems you traverse going to Mindo. We stopped at a small farm to see hummingbirds close up. I took a video of them eating out of my wife's hand. It was the kind of place no one would expect to see. He suggested a great restaurant for lunch which we enjoyed. My wife commented that this was as good as everything we saw in Galapagos. Frank has an excellent historical perspective and a great personality. Would not hesitate to book with him again.
