Good exoerience with good people in good places! - It was a beautiful experience, I got to know the flora and fauna of the Cotopaxi National Park as well as the stunning view of the Quilitoa Lagoon. Even though I had only joined the group as if we had been friends for a long time. We really had a great time. Don't forget you the guide was also very professional and spoke english well...

Gorgeous Day - Irene was very knowledgeable and kind, managing both English and Spanish speaking guests. The weather turned out in our favour and we all witnessed some gorgeous views of Cotopaxi and Quilotoa. The breakfast and lunch stops on the way also had some of the greatest foods. Thank you again and hope to see you soon.

Very entertaining and informative tour - I had a great time yesterday. The staff was very friendly and professional. Our tour guide Irene had a great energy and a mind filled with great information about virtually everything we asked her about. Our driver was driving like a pro, I felt safe all the time. The lake was incredibly beautiful. I highly recommend this tour.

Quilotoa and Cotopaxi 1 day tour - The tour was amazing and it is a perfect choice if you don’t have a lot of time in Ecuador! We were enjoying the breathtaking views while listening to interesting facts not only about Cotopaxi and Quilotoa, but the whole ecuadorian culture and it was all thanks to our guide Irene! She was so inspiring, loved all the questions we had and represented Ecuador in very amusing way! She also spoke very good English so there were no problems in understanding

Best Cotopaxi & Quilota tour - Whole trip was amazing! This is a rare opportunity to visit both national parks and you should definitely use it. The whole trip would not be the same without the best guide in Quito, Irene. She can provide you with the all informations you need about both national parks but also about Ecuador in general. She likes questions and doesn't hesitate to share her enourmous knowledge about history and culture of her country in excellent english !

Lovely tour & great guide. - Great trip to beautiful places. The car we went on was very comfortable. Andrea was a fantastic guide, speaking everything in both English and Spanish. Well organised. You will absolutely need cash for this (and most tours in ecuador).
