Best Quilotoa tour! - Our guide Ayrton is the best!!! He joined our group of 5 traveling friends and felt more like we were touring with a friend than a guide. Very informative, knowledgeable, friendly, professional and caring. The climb out of Quilotoa was tough on me, hard on 55 year old legs and heart. But he stayed with me the whole time ensuring we all finished safely. Well worth the trip. We will highly recommend the tour company and this guide. This was my second Quilotoa tour.

Amazing view and great guide! - A really great trip and a really nice guide named Pedro. And you get a lot for the money. We went to a local market, local farmer, and a local gallery before heading to the lagoon. The view here was really amazing! We got some time for ourselves to go down to the crater and kayak (kayak not included but only 3 dollars per person). Afterwards lunch were included. The guide Pedro is very reliable and you feel comfortable in his presence. I recommend bringing snacks and lots of water as the trek back up from the crater can be challenging. And dress in layers as it is very cold and windy on top and warm down in the crater. I can really recommend this trip, guide and company.

Fantastic!!!! - I had a great experience with the Quilotoa tour! Mainly due our amazing guide Pedro in Quito! He was just incredible! He knew pretty much everything about the history, culture and people of Ecuador! My friend made lots of questions and he answered all of them with minimum details and with a perfect English!!! Pedro was so patient with us, he didn’t rush us at all, he made lots of stops so we could take pictures, and of course, every stop he gave us lots of information about the place! Just what we look for on a guide! We now want to go for other tours and will make sure we’ll have him as our guide again! It was a great experience and it was worth every penny! Thank you again Pedro!
