An unforgettable trip! - I booked this break as part of a longer set of Ecuadorian adventures, and would thoroughly recommend it! It was a wonderful experience, starting from Quito and taking in a whole range of memorable sights and experiences. I was lucky enough to travel solo and be accompanied by a single kind and hugely knowledgable guide, Pedro. We visited sites such as as the famous Swing at the Edge of the World, the shops and spas of Banos, the stunning Quilotoa Lagoon, and a succession of beautiful waterfalls culminating in the famous Pailon Del Diablo as well as Cotopaxi. Pedro was a superb guide, thoughtful and generous: it was soon apparent that he loved the work of showing off his country's great sights, and there was precious little about either its natural or its human history on which he was not an eloquent and kindly authority. As a result, I came away not merely with a bundle of tourist experiences, but also with some sense of how the various aspects of Ecuador's natural history and culture came together to form a whole, and felt enriched all the more for that. This is an excellent tour presented by a truly dedicated and caring guide, and is a wonderful introduction to this spectacular, complex and fascinating country, as well as to the lovely people who populate it.

Quilotoa, Baños, and Cotapaxi - Great Trip! - Fantastic three day trip to experience a few highlights in the Andes outside of the big cities. Quilotoa with it’s emerald colored lagoon was breathtaking. Baños was great fun with adventure activities such as Extreme Swing and zip lining; and visits to amazing waterfalls. Cotopaxi National Park offers spectacular views of the volcano and opportunity to hike up to the base camp (very demanding but rewarding for those not acclimated to high elevation hikes). Overall a tremendous tour with a great guide (Pedro). Pedro was knowledgeable and a welcoming ambassador. He shared his beautiful country and his attitude added to the experience.

Alison - This is the best excursion I’ve ever been on. We experienced so many highlights of Ecuador in three days , it was amazing. My favourite part was hiking up Cotopaxi volcano, the view was spectacular, I will never forget that experience and the photos are stunning. Pedro is the perfect tour guide, he is very knowledgeable about the sites, and was friendly, efficient and kind, very pleasant to be around. He was flexible with the itinerary and always willing to pull over the car to ensure we captured photos of all the beautiful views along the way. I would highly recommend Pedro and the Real Dreams Tour company for Ecuador excursions.

Professional bilingual guide, great tour with lots of flexibility - I had a wonderful time in Ecuador with the help of Pedro as my guide. He was knowledgeable and willing to go the extra mile to ensure that I was enjoying Ecuador. It was extremely helpful that Pedro was bilingual in English and Spanish. I was able to learn lots of Spanish from him on the trip. The 3 day trip was filled with activities and I thoroughly enjoyed ever day.
