Fantastic trip to Mindo....

5.00Fantastic trip to Mindo. Israel was a wonderful host who was willing to adapt the day for us. We would thoroughly recommend this trip - everything went smoothly from pick up to drop off. The hummingbirds are obviously the highlight but Israel showed that Mindo has so much more to offer.
Israel is the Man

5.00Israel is hands down the best tour guide out there. The tour was super flexible for what I wanted to do given the tie allotted. I actually had another person I met with of which Israel asked if it was ok to jin, and I said yes. And it only made it that much better of an experience. We were able to fit driving by the center of the Earth, feeding the Hummingbirds, Zip lining, tubing, lunch, a stroll around the town of Mindo, the chocolate and coffee tasting all in one day. Thank you Israel for making my first day In Ecuador a memorable one. I would book again with him in a heartbeat.
The best in Quito

5.00The best experience I could’ve asked for. Israel is an amazing guy with a pure heart and a real passion for travel guiding. He showed us so many incredible spots in and around Mindo. I also got to meet his wonderful girlfriend, who made sure we enjoyed the best local food. I’m definitely coming back to Ecuador next year with my wife and kids, and he’s already promised to plan our trip. Looking forward to seeing you again, Israel!

4.00The trip was fun and the guide Isra was excellent. He truly was there to provide the best experience possible. He was open to suggestions to customize the trip to make the trip more personal and meet my expectations. He also speaks English very well which made it very easy to converse throughout the trip. My only disappointment was the coffee and chocolate tours were not enjoyable for me. I especially felt very rushed on the chocolate tour as I was on it alone and felt they just wanted me to be gone and to move onto something else. I would rather have skipped the tours, saved the overpriced $20 US and spent more time exploring the cool little town. Again enjoyed the trip to Mindo for the most part and highly recommend Isra as your guide!!
From hummingbirds to ziplining to chocolate - the perfect Mindo experience

5.00Look no further — I had the most amazing day tour with Isra! From start to finish, everything was perfect — Isra is a gorgeous guide, super knowledgeable and fun. He designed the itinerary based on what I was interested in — from feeding the cutest hummingbirds and tubing down the river to ziplining through the cloud forest, enjoying delicious local food, and tasting coffee and chocolate. Mindo has it all! Muchísimas gracias for making this an unforgettable experience, Isra — highly recommended!
Book this!!!

5.00We had a phenomenal time birdwatching and hiking throughout Mindo with Israel. His enthusiasm for Ecuador’s biodiversity is infectious, and he brought such a spark of joy to our tour. Israel was incredibly flexible, allowing for all three of us in the group to choose our own adventure so to speak, and he went above and beyond to ensure each of us had our own bespoke experience. Tour highlights: - Hummingbird garden (you can hold the feeder to attract the birds). There are lots of endemic hummingbird species as well as a fruit station for tanagers (saw lots!) -Lunch spot recommended by Israel was amazing (ceviche, anyone?) -Mindo Cloud Rainforest had an amazing viewing platform with hummingbird feeders (we saw the ever-elusive hermit!) and a trail that that offered ample birdwatching -Mindo viewing platform where we saw toucans, agouti, and more At one point our guide also has us follow a flock of egrets to see their nesting tree, which was a stunning view in the sunset. Israel was a genuine joy to spend the day with, and his knowledge and passion for the biomes of his country is apparent. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants a truly authentic Ecuadorian experience with a highly knowledgeable and flexible guide.
