  Roberto and Marco were fantastic! We really had a great day with them visiting the centre of the world, feeding the hummingbirds, riding the cable car and seeing the waterfalls then to a chocolate factory. Roberto made the tour really fun and all about what we wanted to do which was fantastic I 100% recommend him.

• Wonderful one-day experience

  Josue was amazing! The best tour guide ever and knew so much about everything. A must see experience. We ended up using him for three separate tours.

• Two Great Experiences in the Mindo Cloud Forest

  Roberto and Great Horned Owl adventures were outstanding! First Roberto worked with us to set up two custom trips to the Mindo Cloud Forest for our group of eight. Two of us wanted to birdwatch while the other six wanted to see and do multiple Mindo Cloud Forest activities. Both groups had a wonderful day in the cloud forest. We communicated with Roberto by email before we arrived in Ecuador. He was also thorough in his response and always returned our inquiries within hours. It was so easy to work with Roberto. Roberto conducted the birdwatching tour which visited several birding spots. I gave him a target bird list and he found every bird type on my list (Andean cock of the rock, beautiful tanagers, toucans, hummingbirds, etc). He also found the unexpected common potoo mother and baby. The mother and baby were hard to distinguish from the tree branch (see the attached photo). Roberto has a great passion for birdwatching and is an expert birder. Roberto also organized the second tour with Juan who was an excellent guide for the other group. The group did ziplining, Ecuadorian chocolate demonstration, butterfly sanctuary, beautiful birding spot, etc. If in Quito contact Roberto for your tours. I am confident you will not be disappointed. Thank you, Roberto and Juan, for such a beautiful day in the Mindo Cloud Forest!

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

• Disappointing trip to the Mindo Cloud Forest

  Perhaps our guide could focus on his clients rather than his phone and conversation with the driver. We thought we had arranged to have a one hour trek into the cloud forest but perhaps our guide Roberto did not understand this as he was adamant that we chose instead a 20min round trip to see a waterfall. We did not. We were very disappointed. A visit to the Mariposas de Mindo butterfly garden was an absolute highlight. Beautiful environment full of butterflies and great food too. Other than transport Roberto was not involved in this visit. The two stops on the way to the butterflies were almost insignificant. Roberto was busy either taking selfies presumably to promote his tour company, or busy on his cell phone. Regrettably we can not recommend this tour company.

• Fun, customizable tour!

  We had a great time on this trip! Roberto was fantastic, and knew all the great places to go to make our trip special. We saw such incredible bird species, had an amazing waterfall hike, and stopped at a wonderful spot for lunch and a coffee tour. Thanks for the trip, Roberto!

  Fantastic personalized tour with Roberto! He took the four of us to the Mindo Cloud Forest as well as a few other stops along the way. He knew the right sites to go to where we had the places to ourselves. We took some wonderful photos and learned so much from him. Highly recommend Roberto and Great Horned Owl Tours. We also did a shorter "food tour" with him the evening we got in to Quito. He helped us navigate the street food vendors and was very enthusiastic about his city and what it has to offer...always enhances any tour.

  What a great personalized (four of us) tour following our Galápagos cruise! Robert gave us a few options of what to see and then tailored the excursion to include what we wanted. Christian was a great driver—easily navigated the chaotic city traffic and country roads. Both of them clearly knew a lot about the area and had a passion for what they do. I would highly recommend this excursion to anyone with a free day in Ecuador. We saw a beautiful waterfall, green toucans and tanagers, many hummingbirds, and butterflies. We had a delicious lunch of grilled octopus, pork, chicken, ribs, and sausage.
