Juan made us in love with Ecuador. - It was our first time to Ecuador and we were very lucky on our first tour to meet Juan as our guide. He told us so many things about the country and places that we are inspired to learn more and come back to Ecuador again.

Beautiful waterfall tour - Ximena is an amazing tour guide, she was extremely knowledgeable about the region and was able to share some delightful insights during our tour. I would definitely book other tours with her. The Day was a full one beginning at 730am with stops along the way to the Baños waterfalls. We were able to stop for snacks/drinks along the way prior to the scheduled stops. Ximena suggested a wonderful restaurant for lunch which was able to accommodate my wife's gluten free and vegetarian needs. We opted to try the zip lines and the rope bridge for an extra charge and it was worth it. Overall we had an amazing experience and would recommend 100%.

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.
