  Big thanks to David (guide) and Roberto (driver). They accompanied me to Volcán Cotopaxi. I’m in my sixties with a good but not so great physical condition. It was a... read more cloudy day. When we arrived at the trail head towards the Refugio Jose Rivas, the path was partially covered with snow. It’s at high altitude. I walked very slowly. David was always full of courage and patience with me. With their support I made it, via the straight and short path.

Coming down it was snowing, hailing and raining. Because I spent a lot of time on the trail walking and taking pictures, it was late and the visibility was bad. We didn’t have time to go to other part in the Cotopaxi National Park. When we came back to Quito David and Roberto took me to a very small community restaurant run by a lady and her nephew. The people were very nice there,and the food was great yet very affordable. After all I got a chance to touch the life of local people. It’s another highlight for the day.

David also planned to take me to a food market in Quito, Mercado de Iñaquito (Mercado La Carolina). Again it was too late and closed. I went there the next day before leaving Quito. That also is a great place if you are interested in local people’s lives. David is a great guide with tons of love for his country. I highly recommend him and this trip.

  Awesome Cotopaxi and Quilotoa tour - This was an awesome tour. Our guide Pedro was outstanding. Pedro was very knowledgeable on all subjects concerning Ecuador and his culture. He was very personable, friendly and... read more helpful. Seeing both Cotopaxi and Quilotoa volcanos was the best!!!

  Phenomenal tours for family - Travelled to Ecuador with my wife and two daughters - ages 8 and 10. Pedro and his team were absolutely phenomenal. It started out with him meeting us... read more at the hotel on time and with snacks and water for the trip. He was extremely informative and knowledgeable about the not only the sights, but the Ecuadorian people, history, etc - which was fascinating for my wife and I. He was great with our kids, keeping them entertained and interacting with them along the way as well. We travelled to Cotopaxi and Quilotoa with small smaller stops along the way. He guided us to a perfect lunch spot with warm Ecuadorian potato soup on a slightly chilly day, and took us to all the perfect spots for photographs, etc.

In addition, we had a half-day layover in Quito on the return from the Galapagos Islands, and he accommodated us on a quick tour of the city and the equatorial line. Can't say enough about the tour. Couldn't have asked for anything else (except some warmer weather!).

  Pedro was responsive to our wishes. Our excitement grew when we first saw Cotapaxi with its plume of smoke and he stopped the bus to let us take photos. The... read more views only got better.
I would have loved to have walked all the way around the lake (in front of Cotapaxi) but there was so much to fit into one day. The wild flowers were beautiful.
It’s quite a drive between Cotapaxi and Quilotoa, though there is stunning scenery. I neede a bit of exercise, so chose to walk up the crater, which is not without its challenges at that altitude, but everyone was patient and I managed to complete it

During the return journey, we were treated to thunder and lightning which was spectacular.

  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 !

  Recommended - My guide, Luis, and the driver, Carlos were both excellent. The tour was fun and covered the things I wanted to see, and then some.

  Rewarding - $$ well spent as this was my first private tour. Pedro is a terrific tour guide and he even included a sunny day for exceptional views of both sites. ... read more Pedro is well informed and fluent in English and was easily capable of answering my numerous questions. Great lunch in Quilotoa as well.

  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

  Beautiful Tour in the heart of Ecuador - My partner and I had a such an amazing experience exploring the Cotopaxi Volcano and the Laguna Quilotoa on our first trip to Ecuador. Pedro and Jimmy were the perfect... read more hosts and shared lots of fascinating knowledge of Ecuador’s history, culture, and its people. We also enjoyed a wonderful lunch with Pedro’s best recommendations and had so much fun taking pictures and making lifelong memories at the base of Cotopaxi and the beautiful bright green water of the Laguna Quilotoa. It was a day packed with adventure and definitely one we will never forget. They truly showed us the best Ecuador has to offer. The experience they provided us deserves more than 5 stars, we highly recommend it.
