5.00The day trip to Quilotoa (and beyond) was excellent. Diana did a great job of being flexible and managing a diverse group (including one particularly needy client that annoyed the rest of the group 😂). I highly recommend this tour be and Diana! ❤️

5.00Went to Quilotoa tour in a group with the guide Jorge. It was a great experience! Jorge shared many interesting facts about the Cotopaxi province and the Quilotoa crater lake, which made the trip even more meaningful. He is a very calm, patient, and professional guide. The pace of the tour was comfortable, and the whole day felt well organized and relaxed. Thank you, Jorge, for such an enjoyable and informative tour. I would definitely recommend this experience!
