Beautiful 3 day tour Cotopaxi, Quilotoa and Baths - We did the 3-day tour Cotopaxi, Quilotoa and Baños. It was an unforgettable experience, we enjoyed the trip, the company and each of the fascinating places we visited, which was our first time. Irene was our Guide, 10/10, kind, intelligent, hospitable, funny, and to more than the best Tourist Guide is a super photographer, captured our best moments. We traveled as a family, with our daughters 11 and 4, and we did great, they had a lot of fun, they were comfortable and safe. Andres the excellent driver and very kind, they make a great team together with Irene; I congratulate them because they showed us that they love what they do, we are all very satisfied and grateful. Also Irene's recommendations from the restaurants during the visits were great. I recommend this wonderful tour and ask with the Irene Guide for the most.

100% recommended - This was one of our best experiences. Visiting the Cotopaxi, Laguna del Quilotoa and Baños de Agua Santa was Best of the Best. Nothing would have been the same without the Guides Adrian, Jessy and Pamela, plus we played twice with the driver Ivan. So we enjoyed it a lot and without worry

Amazing walk with exceptional guides! - The tour to Cotopaxi, Quilotoa and Baños was exceptional. The three places are very worth visiting. They are beautiful places that should not be missed. We took very nice and unique photos. On the first day we had Adrian as our Guide. Adrian was an exceptional Guide. He is friendly and very friendly to everyone. From the beginning he welcomed us warmly and made us feel comfortable. During our climb to Cotopaxi, we had a bit of difficulties and Adrian was very attentive to our well-being, he made sure we were okay and we didn’t need anything. He was very patient with us on our climb and he was waiting for us with great encouragement at the top. On the way down Adrian helped us to get down safely. He was always very attentive and would definitely recommend him as Guide. We asked him to be our Guide the other days only they had already assigned someone else and it wasn't up to him. I recommend Adrian 10/10 I also want to mention our Guide Irene. She was our Guide the next two days. Irene is very funny and you have fun all the tour. Very friendly and inclusive with everyone. He loves to share many details of the tour and I liked that because we were able to learn more interesting information. The whole time he was with the group and talking to everyone. She was a good friend during the trip. Irene took some wonderful pictures, she is very patient with everyone and very cute. We had fun with her. He did a very good job in giving us the tour in both English and Spanish. I recommend Irene as your Guide. I give you 10/10. You should ask me to be your Guide, you're gonna have an amazing time.

Perfect trip to learn about Ecuadors most beautiful spots and local life - The whole tour was an amazing experience thanks to our very funny and motivating tourguide Irene! It was perfectly organized, very easy to communicate per WhatsApp, and she also took fantastic pictures which she sent us all afterwards! She knows everything about the culture and life in Ecuador, so that you really experience the real Ecuador and learn so much about people, life, nature and history here! Would have never been the same experience without Irene, telling all those things to understand life here in this amazing country! Also John as our driver made these days very stressless and enjoyable. Perfect Tour to see the most beautiful parts of Ecuador, learn about the background and still being on an individual trip.

Around the Ecuadorian plateau - The organization was very precise and the guides who followed in the three days were always very considerate and available to all explanations. However, I think the cost is a bit too high, since it did not include accommodation and meals, but looking on the network the other organized tours, I am happy and would do it again
