Wonderful day in Ecuadorian nature - Had a wonderful day in Mindo with Irene as our trusty guide and Ivan as our driver. It was a full day of activities immersed in the beauty of nature Ecuador has to offer. We visited a bird sanctuary and fed hummingbirds, saw thousands of butterflies up close at the butterfly sanctuary, hiked down to the Nambillo waterfall, enjoyed a delicious trout lunch, and finished our day w delicious chocolate tasting at Yumbos. Throughout it all Irene kept us informed and entertained, really appreciated her patience and wealth of knowledge. Highly recommend Irene and the tour company!

Fantastic, unique experience with wonderful, enthusiastic guide - My husband and I and one of my best friends took the full-day Mindo tour with guide Irene and driver Ivan and had a wonderful time! We got to see a wide variety of tanagers and hummingbirds up close, visited a butterfly garden, did a short hike to a beautiful waterfall at Cascada Mindo Nambillo, and finished the very full day with a chocolate tasting at Yumbos (where we tried fresh cacao fruit!) Irene was a lovely, knowledgeable guide who was generous in sharing not only facts about the flora and fauna we saw, but also the unique food and drinks of Ecuador, urging us to try specialties like helado con queso and canelaso. Irene exemplified the warmness of Ecuadorians! Ivan was such a skilled driver! He took us smoothly and safely through the winding roads to Mindo from Quito! I didn’t get carsick once. My husband and I only had three days to spend in Quito, and we’re so glad that we used one of those days to take this tour with Irene and Ivan!!

Highly recommended - It was an amazing trip with our wonderful guide Misael and our driver to Mindo. Misael is a professional birdwatcher and walking with him in the forest was an unforgettable experience for me. By the sound of the birds he could tell us which bird it is and he discovered so many birds that none of us had seen. With our driver I felt very safe.

Amazing - Amazing tour! In the morning, our driver Jimmy and guide Irene picked us up from the hotel right on time. During the trip, we saw a huge variety of birds, including two species of toucans. We fed hummingbirds… an incredible experience. We also saw many brightly colored butterflies, which we held in our hands. Additionally, we visited a waterfall and a chocolate factory. Irene is a fantastic guide who knows a lot and shares her knowledge. The tour with her was truly fun and engaging.
