3 hr Cotopoxie horseback ride - Guide, Pedro Toaquiza was very professional, courteous, knowledgeable. & on time. The horseback riding guide was very nice, but hard to communicate with because of the language difference.

One of the highlights of my trip! - I really enjoyed my trip to the Cotopaxi National Park. My guide was lovely to talk to. We went to the hut on the Cotopaxi and I was struggling, but he gave me all the time I needed to adjust to the altitude. No stress at all. After I went on a scenic and incredibly long horseback riding trip through the National Park. The landscape was simply stunning, felt always safe and enjoyed so much seeing the "wild" horses. Highly recommend this trip, would do it again!

Lovely peaceful authentic experience - Pedro picked me up from my hotel right on time at 7am and we drove up in a nice clean new car to Cotopaxi. I was the only guest driving up. We went on a 3 hour horse trek which is very easy - even for beginners. Super calm ponies going at a slow rate. Very peaceful and meditative. Then we had a choice of driving up to the volcano peak or going for a walk around the lagoon. I chose the latter and it was very pleasant. It was a very windy day. Lunch was a simple authentic meal that hit the spot and then we had a good drive home. Thanks Pedro!

Incredible views and excellent guides - This was an incredible tour with incredible guides. Our guide, David, couldn’t have been more informative or accommodating throughout the entire ride to and from through the volcanic high country. The horseback guide, Patricio, was also super informative and kept a perfect pace during the horse ride through the Cotopaxi park. He treated us to a mix of terrain, trots and gallops, and a super friendly demeanor the whole time. Finally, our driver, Roberto was excellent. He kept our trip on track, guided us safely through some rough roads, and even joined us on our on the hike up to base camp at 16,000 ft. Overall, this tour is an amazing value that provides a ton of great sites in a picturesque part of Ecuador. I absolutely recommend it.

First Time with a Private Guided Tour! Amazing! - David, our tour guide, and Roberto, our driver, were wonderful! David has extensive knowledge in Ecuatorian history and culture so throughout the day he gave us wonderful information at each point along the tour. He and Robert climbed to the base camp at Cotopaxi with us. David gave us great advice and patience as we climbed to our destination at 15,980 feet. They were also our dining companions at a lovely local restaurant and David made sure to communicate with the cooks earlier in the day to accommodate my good allergies (no gluten or lactose... so sad!). They picked us up on time, gave us tons of info, made sure we had time to stop for snacks and bathroom breaks. They took us to meet Patricio, our horse-back riding tour guide. The entire experience was wonderful! We've even booked another tour with David for later in the week to go to Mindo we had so much fun! Highly recommend!
