Fantastic tour in Mindo with Isra! - I had an absolutely incredible experience in Mindo thanks to Isra! From start to finish, the tour was nothing short of spectacular. He took us to all the hidden spots and little gems that I never would have discovered on my own. We fed hummingbirds, admired stunning butterflies, enjoyed peaceful walks through lush forests, explored the sparkling river, and even did a full coffee tour. Every part of the day was perfectly organized and completely immersive in nature. Hid knowledge, passion, and friendly personality made the experience unforgettable. Honestly, he is one of the best guides I have ever had, the kind who truly goes above and beyond to make the tour magical. I can’t recommend him enough!

This was such a special... - This was such a special experience! Israel was one of the best guides we've had in our travels, and the passion and pride he holds for the itinerary he's perfected are clear in every explanation he provided and interaction we had with him. The balance of nature, culture, food, and local encounters was simply perfect on this tour, and there is something for everyone to greatly enjoy on this tour. I would strongly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a perfect day trip from Quito.

Hummingbird heaven! - Isra and his partner are phenomenal! They were accommodating, informative, and fun. I expressed that hummingbirds were most important and they delivered - literally creating multiple moments for them to eat out of your hands. Could not recommend them more!

A meaningful day in the Cloud Forest - Israel shared his love and knowledge of the Cloud Forest in a relaxed, warm way. We had a wonderful day touring the region, and his friendly manner with the local people made our day feel intimate and special. When a few of the planned sites were closed for the New Year, he pivoted quickly and came up with fun, informative, meaningful activities to replace the missed experiences. His connection to the spirit of the Cloud Forest added to the impact of the day. It was a delightful adventure, and I would book another trip with him in a heartbeat.

A beautiful experience in nature. - The private day trip to Mindo Cloud Forest with my guide, Israel, was an exciting experience that I will never forget. Seeing so many different species of birds and hand feeding the hummingbirds was a mind blowing experience. I highly recommend Israel and this tour!

Fantastic trip to Mindo.... - Fantastic trip to Mindo. Israel was a wonderful host who was willing to adapt the day for us. We would thoroughly recommend this trip - everything went smoothly from pick up to drop off. The hummingbirds are obviously the highlight but Israel showed that Mindo has so much more to offer.

Israel is the Man - Israel is hands down the best tour guide out there. The tour was super flexible for what I wanted to do given the tie allotted. I actually had another person I met with of which Israel asked if it was ok to jin, and I said yes. And it only made it that much better of an experience. We were able to fit driving by the center of the Earth, feeding the Hummingbirds, Zip lining, tubing, lunch, a stroll around the town of Mindo, the chocolate and coffee tasting all in one day. Thank you Israel for making my first day In Ecuador a memorable one. I would book again with him in a heartbeat.

The best in Quito - The best experience I could’ve asked for. Israel is an amazing guy with a pure heart and a real passion for travel guiding. He showed us so many incredible spots in and around Mindo. I also got to meet his wonderful girlfriend, who made sure we enjoyed the best local food. I’m definitely coming back to Ecuador next year with my wife and kids, and he’s already promised to plan our trip. Looking forward to seeing you again, Israel!
