5.00This was a great day! Our tour guide was Pam, she was very helpful and informative. We enjoyed the drive up the mountain which included seeing over 50 dogs on the way! A very well planned and well executed tour. I would definitely recommend if you’re in Quito. The hike is a bit rough but the mules that can take you back up the mountain are worth the extra price.
i would strongly recommend this day tour!

4.00Enjoyable day. Tour guide arrived in time to pick us up and made sure we had everything we needed during the day. The walk into the crater was beautiful but if you're older, you'll need to take your time and watch your footing. Hiking sticks helped. Unless you are in peak condition, be sure to reserve a horse for the ride up. Even the 20 something's were breathing hard and resting a lot. I would definitely recommend this tour. Great company and very organized.
A perfect day

5.00I had originally booked two tours with the company, but I had such a great time that I added a new one. The tour to Quilotoa was great. Very complete and well organized. Very good communication prior to departure. I also forgot my sunglasses in the van and the next day they took them to the reception of the hostel. Jess, the guide, was fantastic. Thanks Mauricio too (he found my glasses)! Beautiful landscapes and I had the opportunity to get on a mule to avoid the steep climb to Quilotoa.
A truly memorable day in Ecuador, with much thanks to Ernesto

5.00My family and I had a fantastic day with visiting Quilotoa on a private tour. Our tour guide Ernesto picked us up promptly at 9 am in a very comfortable SUV. During our drive to Quilotoa, he shared his vast knowledge of Ecuadorian geography, history and culture, pointing out mountain ranges, telling us Ecuadoran folktales, answering our questions about politics and economics, and leaving us with a much better understanding of his beautiful country. He introduced us to Julian and his family, who are local Ecuadorians farmers living in a traditional thatched roofed home, and to a local Ecuadoran artist who paints colorful, fanciful landscapes. When we arrived at Quilotoa, Ernesto offered us two different two-hour hikes, one down to the lake, the other around the crater. We chose the latter hike, which because of unusually strong winds was modestly challenging, but also spectacular. The views of the lake from the rim were truly breathtaking. After the hike we enjoyed a delicious meal at a local restaurant that Ernesto recommended. A truly memorable day in Ecuador, with much thanks to Ernesto.
Fun day trip with adventure

5.00We toured Quilotoa with Best Trip Ecuador and it was an excellent decision. The place is beautiful, the tour full of beautiful landscapes and a pleasant visit to the house of Don Julian, however the best thing about this tour was our guide IRENE who with his charisma and personality demonstrates passion and love for his country and for his work. Irene explains every detail with patience and dedication, I recommend this tour 100%.
Great day out

5.00Excellent trip to Quilotoa, Excellent guides Carlos and Jessie. Even though we were running late coming back, it was no bother for them to stop so we could see the ash coming from Cotopaxi volcano. Great value tour, thoroughly recommend

4.00Beautiful destination. Really friendly and knowledgeable guides who seemed to take a lot of care of anyone falling behind. Bus is a little rough if you have motion sickness at all. Prepare for that if it’s a risk.
