Great experience with Irene ! - We went on a day trip with Irene and we cannot recommend her enough. She is a great guide, with fluent english. We visited the Quilotoa volcano and hiked around the crater and we really enjoyed the view and Irene’s knowledge.
She is very knowledgable about so many things, and you can feel her pasison for her country and culture. So don’t be shy of asking questions, she’ll be happy to provide detailled information!

Great Trip - Had an amazing tour with Adrian, he was very informative and detailed when he talked about the green house veggies and fruit production and how the indigenous tribes lived. I truly enjoyed my trip.

Amazing Views - This tour was AMAZING. We had Irene as our tour guide, and Ivan as our driver. Both were welcoming, friendly, and a good time! The views were stunning. Irene was patient, and helped me through this challenging hike. I would definitely recommend booking them. Thank you again Irene and Ivan for an unforgettable experience.

I made a new friend in the lagoon we hit it off right away. - Very nice tour with guide Irene and driver John. Heart-refreshing how Irene introduces travelers to her country, its history and indigenous culture. Unforgettable experience with a decent portion of sore muscles.

Wonderful quilotoa - A truly special trip. The places are lovely. We visited a family in an indigenous community, the studio of a local artist. We saw the Cañon del río Toachi and visited the incredible Quilatoa lagoon, a lake in the crater of a still potentially active volcano.
The driver Fernando was very good. IRENE the guide was FABULOUS: good, capable, friendly and even taught us a bit of Quichua (the Inca language) in a really fun way.
