Fantastic highlights tour of Ecuador - This tour is action packed and provides a great highlight of what Ecuador has to offer. The accomodation for night 1 and night 3 was amongst nature, unique and very peaceful. Our guide, Ernesto, was highly knowledgeable and made our trip especially enjoyable. He went above and beyond and we particularly enjoyed our spontaneous pit stops for local fruits, ice cream and juices. Ernesto made us feel like we have a friend in Ecuador :) Highly recommend!

Great fun! Experience Ecuador quickly and fun. - We spent 2.5 weeks checking out things in Peru and Ecuador. We were traveling with 5 people (2 adults, 2 teen, 1 younger kid). This tour was our favorite thing out of the whole trip! The cost was great (compared to others) and the skill of the guides were above the standards we expected and found elsewhere. The facilities were appropriate for the area. One was our favorite place in the whole trip. Others looked like the best option in the area which is what it is. Our driver and tour guide (Irene and Andres) were fantastic! The other tour experiences in other locations showed us what a gold mine this was of talent and planning. We would always go back to "The Ecuador" trip was the best! Such a well rounded experience of diversity of experiences from the tops of mountains to rivers of amazon. The roads are what they are in Ecuador. The driver (Andres) was safe and I always felt he knew what he was doing. (I drive heavy equipment for baseline). I also did a lot of reading on the trip (3 large books) of the history and the guide nailed it on the accuracy and depth of the history (at the right level). The kids loved it and as adults we enjoyed the company and fun made it totally worth the trip there. The history of the country, the local traditions, and great company to be with. Traveling with kids is difficult but the guides really helped us with recommendations and expectations that included what would set us all up for a successful experience. They understood us and when we asked they helped us pick what we would have the most fun with. An example of the above treatment we got was the the guide grabbing fruit from all the places we went and then having a fruit bonanza where we get to taste and rate all of them. It was so educational and good to have another sense to tie it all together. We loved it and would highly recommend this experience to others with or without kids.

Great trip to see a lot in Ecuador - We had a great trip and saw so much of Ecuador that we could had never seen being on our own in such a short time. We originally booked the 3 day trip but then our guide Ernesto told us about this tour and organized the extra day for us. We are so thankful that Ernesto made that work so spontaneously! He was a great guide who knew so much about the country, always looked out for us and took great pictures. We had a lot of fun with him! All the stops and activities were amazing. The hikes were not easy but there are always multiple options! The hotels were nice and clean. All the restaurants we stopped at were great and pretty cheap. Ernesto also stopped with us at a fruit shop and we could pick all the fruits we wanted to try. The extra activities like zip lining and the extreme swing were not so expensive and a lot of fun.
I especially liked the jungle walk and the chocolate making with a local family.
If you don’t have much time and want to see a lot of the area around Quito- this is your trip!

Amazing 4 day tour in Ecuador! - We had a wonderful time on this four day tour around Ecuador. The itinerary going into the trip sounded amazing, but it surpassed our expectations! Our tour guides and drivers were incredible (shoutout Ernesto and Josue), and really went out of their way to tailor the experience to what we were looking for. We loved staying at local spots that gave back to the community and its people. It was a wonderful experience learning about the history of Ecuador. Ernesto was amazing and did a great job educating us about his culture and country while also taking us to some of his favorite local spots, which happened to be our favorite experiences and meals of the trip! We can’t recommend this tour enough and would love to come back to Ecuador and work with this group for future travels!!

An awesome whirlwind tour of the real Ecuador. - 5/5. What a trip! From pickup to the return to our hotel Quito Tour Bus were excellent. Our Guide, Irene, was fabulous. She was friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable about everything that we experienced. Her english made everything so much easier for us.
The itinerary was full to the brim of exciting and inspiring places and activities while the choices for each nights accommodation were all delightful and very comfortable. The hotel staff were all super helpful.
Finally our driver, Andreas, was excellent both in terms of driving ability and helpfulness. Toward the end of the trip we received all the photos both he and Irene had been taking of us which was lovely.
All in all faultless 😁
