5.00Ricky was a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and clearly very proud to show off his beautiful country. His English is outstanding. He was an absolute gentleman - always opening the car door for me or offering a hand down a steep step or path. Thanks Ricky for a fantastic day.

Mindo cloud forest taster experience

5.00Guide was so friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We felt like he was a pal enjoying the experience with us. We were only in the country for 2 days so this tour was an ideal way for us to see as much as possible. If you are in Mindo for longer, you might prefer something different to spend more time in the forest or town as each section of the tour was quite short. Also, the cable car and chocolate experience entry fees are not included in the tour price and have to be paid on the day (they are quite cheap though and well worth it)
Our trip to Quito

5.00I would like to thank you for a beautiful tour of the city of Quito, with a very professional and expert explanation. If someone likes history as such and wants to learn something interesting and unusual, this is the right choice. A very pleasant demeanor and great patience with any question will be provided by a true local guide. We were very pleasantly surprised by the human and individual approach. If you are also looking for a pleasant company, this is the right choice, I can only recommend it, you will not be disappointed.
Fantastic Guide

5.00We had a great experience with Pamela. It was easy to book over WhatsApp. She even accommodated a later start time since we arrived in Quito late the night before. She and our driver were both fantastic. They showed up on time, and showed us around the old town and the equator museum. We couldn’t recommend more!
Book here for the best experience!

5.00What a wonderful day. Saw many of the great sights in the Quito area and did so with Pamela who made the day all that much better. A wonderful guide that is very detailed, caring and attentive. She may be the best tour guide I’ve had in all my trips to over 40+ countries… no exaggeration!
