Great day at Papallacta - I had a great experience during my tour to Papallacta. Daniel organised everything for myself, picked me up from my hotel and drop me off at the end of the tour. He explained all details of the Spa to me and advised what I should take with me. I had a great day - thank you!

A Relaxing Day - Daniel was an exceptional guide. He made certain that we had a good understanding of the layout and services provided at the thermal springs. During the journey I was informative about what we were seeing and Ecuador as a whole. It was an enjoyable, relaxing day.

Recommended - Recommended 10/10. If you prefer a private tour, the tour included a visit to the Papallacta hot springs, a truly magical and relaxing place in the Ecuadorian jungle. The car was completely clean and included a sample of high-quality Ecuadorian chocolate! The best part was the guide, Daniel, who not only guided me safely and played great music, but also explained the entire Ecuadorian culture to me with great passion and knowledge. He also took me to try typical food from the country, which was delicious. A 100% recommended experience!

Papallacta hot springs day trip - This was a wonderful day trip from Quito and was so relaxing on our last day after 2 weeks of non-stop activity. The hot springs were very relaxing and there were many affordable services at the spa. Daniel was a wonderful driver with a clean vehicle, thought of our needs and even had a specialized playlist. He was a great conversationalist and knowledgeable about Ecuador. Highly recommend this trip

Relaxing wellness day - recommended! - Such a beautiful place to relax before my long flight home. The springs were clean and hot with a cold plunge pool. The setting was beautiful with mountains all around. The spa is lovely with very attentive staff and the facial treatment I had was very nice. Daniel was able to pick me up from my hotel and was very helpful and friendly. He is a great driver!

very bad experience - in this agency I look for a chollo.com I made a reservation of a travel package on January 6th on the 8th of the same month I made a request to change dates of the 16th of the same month, and they answer me that said change has a cost of 360€, I speak with customer service and it is as if the party was not with it they do not care, considering that the documentation of flights and accommodation send them 48 hours before the trip , it seems to me a scam, and little empathy with the customer, I will never book with it again.
