Would definitely recommend . - Andras was an exceptional guide. Tailored the day to meet our physical capabilities/desires ( we only climbed to a short waterfall) and we added in a tour of chocolate making. Very knowledgeable and a pleasure to be with. He took us to a restaurant where we had a superb Ecuadorian lunch.

An Outstanding Day - What an excellent day! Guide Diana delighted us with her knowledge of the cloud forest and Ecuador today. We were able to spend extra time with the hummingbirds and to tailor stops to our energies and enthusiasms. The road from Quito is indeed steep and winding but we enjoyed the views and Diana's narrative throughout. The van was super nice and we also felt well cared for by our driver. Communications with the team both before and during the trip could not have been more timely or helpful. Highly recommend this venture to a fascinating and beautiful place.

A custom made adventure I will never forget - My hobby is finding and photographing insects and I was very excited about finding some in Ecuador. My husband and I booked this private tour hoping we would find some new exotic bugs in the cloud forest. I couldn’t have had a better day! Ximena, our guide, took us to a hummingbird conservatory and called ahead to see if the trail through the rainforest on their property was passable. Ximena and the two lovely people from the hummingbird place all walked through the beautiful forest and we found so many fantastic ‘new’ bugs. We even found giant earthworms and giant millipedes. We had a delicious lunch and then visited a butterfly conservatory (since it wasn’t the best time of year to find them in the outdoors). It was a fantastic day that I will never forget.

The rain forest is a wonderful place. - We had a great day in the Cloud Forest. Luis was our guide. He asked us what we had an interest in seeing on our tour so he could get to it before the afternoon rain came. He was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about all the things that we saw on our tour. When the rain started, he already had a plan to finish. The birds, wildlife, waterfalls and rain forest were amazing. Thanks for a great day.

Great day in Mindo! - We spent a very nice day with Camina. She was able to tailor our stops to focus on what we wanted to see and take advantage of the best weather and least busy stops. Really enjoyed both the butterfly stop and the hummingbirds!

Good day trip - Daniel was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and personable. Also a good driver. I think it would have been better to stay for a couple of nights.
