Absolutely fantastic day!! - What a wonderful adventure David took us on in the Cloud Forest!! I am very pleased with the length of the tour, it was indeed a full day tour full of adventure; left at 8am and we got back in the city around 5:30-6:00pm. In that time we stopped first at the hummingbird sanctuary which was absolutely amazing, hummingbirds eating out of your hand!! Then to the waterfall where we took the cable car across the ravine and hiked down the lush forest to the Nambilla Falls; beautiful!! Following that we stopped at the butterfly farm, and that was such a wholesome experience where we saw and interacted with many kinds of species of butterflies! Once we had enough of that we went to grab some lunch all together before continuing on to the chocolate tour. That was very special as well as we got to learn about the chocolate making process, chocolate tasting, and facemask! Very enriching experience. It was very educational as he told us lots about all aspects of Ecuadorian life on the way to the cloud forest, and then once in the forest we learned about the biodiversity as well as just enjoying the scenery as we hopped from one activity to the next. Was very much worth the price!! David drove us in his car and was able to adapt and be flexible to our needs, highly recommend.

Amazing tour in the Mindo Cloud Forrest. - David was absolutely the best! We were comfortable with him. He was knowledgeable and a personable individual. The stops were great, the hike was great fun, the hummingbird experience was just magical. The butterfly house was filled with breathtaking beauty. The cloud forest was a different world with stunning beauty. Do this! It was amazing.

Mindo Cloud Forest - Our guide was Juan. He was friendly and helpful and spoke good English. He was happy to adjust the day to our requests. He even had a pair of binnoculars so we could see the wildlife. A really enjoyable day. Thanks Juan.

Fantastic Guide - Don’t hesitate to book with David. He is knowledgeable, flexible, and considerate as a guide. My friends and I booked the one day Mindo tour. He customized our itinerary, took photos of us, and capably guided us to the best sights. The best part was talking with him about Ecuador and learning about his passion for his country. We were lucky to have him as a guide!
