Long day, but worth it! - Carlos was right on time, and was a great guide! Great conversation on the long drive to Banos, with periodic stops for the restroom, food and photos! Carlos navigated me through different areas in Banos, we avoided crowded and all around had a great day. He stopped me at a local empanada vendor which was delicious, and he made it a point to find me two spice stores in Banos, because I mentioned how much I liked to cook. Highly recommend!

Amazon Forest and Western Tributaries - Bucket list to see the Amazon forest and westernmost tributaries of the Amazon River. Ecuador has such beautiful landscapes, water falls, volcanos, hot baths and there were lots of stops to see scenery. Baños was very charming. It was hopping and a great place for lunch and cervezas. It’s a three hour trip with great views and lots of places to stop. Freddy was a wonderful host.

Awesome time in Baños :) - Had an excellent time on July 4th. Ximena was a great guide and made sure I was having fun and provided me excellent cultural history of Ecuador and the Baños area. From this tour, you leave Quito to Baños and come back same day. In Baños, the tour is personalized to your liking. I did zip line, bungee jumped 50 meters, and saw some spectacular waterfalls in the start of the Amazon. Would definitely recommend this tour.

Amazing trip - This was such a great experience. I had Carlos and he took great care of my mom and I. We took great pictures and was able to beat the crowds for pictures. The drive was long but Carlos made the drive educational and entertaining. Even though there were road detours, it still gave us a chance to discover other places. Baños is beautiful and I recommend this trip. And shout out to Carlos for taking care of us and giving us an amazing experience to last a lifetime.

A cannot-miss opportunity - The Rio Verde waterfalls is a very special sight - worth the short hikes to see it in all its majesty. The short cable car ride to view waterfalls was also special plus the opportunity to do zipline or other things. The guide, Cathy, was very nice and a very good driver, was happy to spend the day with her. The lunch was delicious, good restaurant selection. Thankful overall for the tour.

A tour with variety - volcanoes to jungle - We traveled on a perfect weather day. We saw Cotopaxi volcano emitting steam from the top of the cone. Ash from the eruption had melted the snow to the west. Then we were on to Baños de Aguas Santas with the rich biodiversity of the jungle. The waterfalls were majestic We finished the day in the town of Baños with its ancient charm. Our guide, Ximena, was fantastic. The trip was perfect.
