The Trip of a lifetime....Part 1! - I cant explain how amazing this adventure was. The original reason for our presence was a wedding. But, I learned so much during the week i was here. From airport service to volcano to Historic Center. The guides were more than knowledgable (Jorge, Alejandro and Alex) all were amazing! Great english and quick to make us feel comfortable through the vibe of the city. The cost was minimal and definitely affordable to the point i want to do it again. There was not a problem navigating through the people as it was not too crowded. They are the best for teaching you about the country while here. I loved the Basilicas and the Mountains both. THANK YOU TEAM!

Anytime again!!! - Did 2 days with Jorge! First day we did an 100% customized Trip to Mindo Cloud Forest - We enjoyed it so much, that we chose to book another day with him after an 1week stay at Galapagos. We wanted to have something „special“ as it was my wife’s Birthday! So we gave Jorge some information on what she enjoys to see and he planned the trip. And what to say, it was absolutely outstanding! We so much enjoyed being with him, he was able to give us a huge amount of information about the destinations we visited as well as the Country, City, People and History… it was by far the best tour we ever booked and it was worth every second we had with him! Anytime again!!

Fun and well-organized day trip - The two of us visited Lake Limpiopungo and had a lovely hike in the area with a very friendly local guide. There is also the option to hike all the way to José Rivas refuge at 4.864 meters, but we did not do so because we had not acclimatized to the altitude enough. Instead, we visited a nearby town and a bit of Quito that we had not seen yet. Overall, Jorge, the owner is very flexible, punctual and drives carefully. This private tour was about $60 more expensive than a group tour for 2 people, but the freedom and flexibility makes up for it. Recommended!

Highly recommended - We used Jorge for several trips over 3 weeks. He was always on time, the vehicle was very clean, the driver was very careful, and he was thoughtful and courteous. His knowledge of the area was an added bonus to the trip. In the future, we will certainly use his services again.
