5.00ASK FOR IRENE !!!!!! We went on the Mindo Day Tour with Irene - the tour guide and it was great. She was very knowledgeable about the area, history, flora and fauna. She was a lively guide who encouraged interaction within the group. She is fluently bilingual and everything she says in Spanish she says in English, so no one is left out…and she is quick to answer questions! She guides several different tours throughout the week so she could be your guide for several tours. ASK FOR IRENE !!! Very knowledgeable, experienced, fun and is treated with a hug by all the site operators she works with…that tells you a lot right there. Also the driver ANDRES was a very good driver and nice guy…a very good team.
Beautiful Experience

5.00Was my personal most beautiful trip from Quito. The encounter with hummingbirds, butterflies and an adorable nature in the cloud rainforest inspired me so much that I still feed on it. The troupe was unique and our guide Erica is the cherry on the cream cake! To end the tasting in the chocolate manufactory, it couldn't be more perfect. Adventure and enjoyment in perfection. Highly recommended!

5.00Mindo is a beautiful place to explore in Ecuador & I was really grateful to my tour guide Irene & friendly driver for delivering a wonderful tour! The most amazing experience of my life feeding hummingbirds, then surrounded by butterflies, a fun cable car ride & hike to a waterfall. The delicious local lunch & chocolate tasting was the cherry on top! Thanks so much Irene - You made my visit perfect!
Magnificent Mindo Day Tour with Ernesto

5.00The tour began with Ernesto picking us up the hotel. There was great conversation and music on the drive to Mindo! The cloud forest was a bit challenging for me at 59 years old,but we did it!. My best friend Kim and I loved the waterfall and took a cold plunge. Ernesto was kind and patient. He even took a million pictures for us. Bonus!!!. The butterfly 🦋 sanctuary was fabulous. So many species. Lunch was so delicious. 10/10. You have to experience it four yourself! If you are ever in Ecuador do the small group day tour to Mindo! With a knowledgeable guide like Ernesto, you can't go wrong!!!

5.00Ernesto thru Intrepid was the most amazing tour guide for the Mindo Cloud Forest tour!!! Not only knowledgeable and experienced, his passion and fabulous personality made this an unforgettable memory for myself and two 20 yr old boys! He truly loves enlightening visitors to his country and showing them the surrounding beauty and historical charm. We were truly lucky to have him as our guide! ❤️
