  Pedro is wonderful - We had an awesome trip with Pedro touring the Quilotoa and the beautiful lagoon and the Cotopaxi volcanoes.

  Rewarding - $$ well spent as this was my first private tour.

Great lunch in Quilotoa as well.

  BEST guide and tour agent which is Local and Woman owned Ecuadorian travel company - I did an individual self tailored tour with Real Dreams tour. I found them along with few others on my google search, but from the very beginning they stood... read more out with very timely response compared to other companies I had reached out to . Simon who helped format an itinerary for my trip was amazing. He understood what i was looking for and gave perfect suggestions and also was very open to my suggestions and changes. the itinerary for my 5 day 6 night on mainland Ecuador after my Galapagos trip. The guide Pedro was best of best. Knowing I liked hiking and lots of out door activities Pedro recommended and added other activities during the trip which made the trip even more richer and top notch. He took extra effort to get me the local food experience I was wanting including calling the restaurant much ahead of time to prepare CUYI ( guinea pig) and this was once in a life time experience. on the last day before my late night flight back home , he suggested going to the hot springs and massage and this was a perfect ending to the day of the city visit and relaxation before hitting the road.
I recommend Real Dreams tour highly for being local, Woman owned (shout out to Carolina) , flexible to tailoring to your needs and exemplary customer service.

  What a fun and memorable day in Papallacta. It all started on the positive side with Pedro. Punctual, he was in time to pick me up from the place I... read more was staying, we then started our journey to Papallacta. The driving was safe and responsible, and he was super active explaining any interesting point/thing we saw. Arriving in Papallacta, I booked a set of massage, walked a few miles to know the place and ended up the day in a very fun way, we went in a sport fishing activity which I didn't plan but it was memorable. I caught few trouts, an went to a restaurante to prepare it, fresh food. LOVED IT.

  Great tour ! - Great day with my tour guide Pedro ! He was a really good friend during that day, very helping. We had a nice little walk together, then the hot Springs... read more were perfect, and really beautiful. I also got a massage, which was the cherry on the cake !
I recommend it for a relaxing day !

  Best experience thanks to Pedro! - This was by far the best experience I have ever had. Thank you Pedro for being so informative. We learned so much going on this experience with him. 5 stars... read more go to him.

  Great Tour! And great all in one package!
We started early in the morning and had a nice ride to Cotopaxi. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t in our favor and... read more we didn’t get to see the volcano but we still had a great hike around the pond.
Quilotoa was beautiful and we were given time to explore it on our own before we had lunch and headed back to the city. The guide didn’t walk down with us and we soon understood why as the way back up took all our strength. The altitude really hits and it’s super steep. All in all it was a nice tour and perfect for people with little time at hand. I highly recommend the tour! We had great fun and saw many cute alpacas along the way!

  Disappointed and poor value. Nice guide - Our guide was very nice and on time but the sites were okay and the addition of tickets was annoying. It would feel better to have it all bundled... read more /> Birds- short hike with an ornithologist was okay. We saw many beautiful birds but they would often fly off when he used his laser pointer to direct us. Honestly sitting on the deck and watching birds come and go was great. And feeding the hummingbird. That would have been 5 instead of 15
Falls hike- very overrated. It’s small. Another 5 for this
Butterfly- pretty but not worth the 750 which feels expensive for here
Chocolate factory- 10 pp for tour. We didn’t go. Done it in Peru and Costa Rica.
Lunch- food was okay. Beer not included
I would just suggest hiring a taxi to go to Mindo which is pretty but very tourist

  Real Dreams Tours is amazing. I did the Cotopaxi National Park tour and it was incredible. My tour guide was Pedro and he picked me up at my hotel just... read more before 8 and we were off to Cotopaxi. The hike to base camp was very challenging for me because of the altitude. Pedro is the only reason I was able to make it there—he offered to carry my pack because I was struggling with the weight and he made sure I was taking breaks and pacing myself. The timing of the tour was perfect for the weather and crowds, which shows how experienced this group is. The lunch included was very good after a long days hike. I highly recommend Real Dreams Tours, definitely the highlight of my trip to Quito!
