Juan was a great tour guide who knew a lot about the area. He treated us like family. We were able to see some very nice scenery and the tour included a great lunch. Poor weather limited our view of Quilatoa, but Juan was kind enough to email some of his own photos that he had taken the day before. Great service.

This is something I couldn't believe I could manage to do. It was an amazing experience from the begining of the day. Our tour guide was on time, and very friendly all day long. Very nice lunch and very accomodating activities according to our needs and physical capacities. Very recomendable!!

Seeing the Quilotoa Crater Lake in person was awe-inspiring. We had a fantastic driver; Carlos, and an equally great tour guide; Andy. She gave us a real feel for being Ecuadorian. Explained the history, geographical features, and the government. Carlos stopped at a roadside stand to buy us the local fruits, and Andy explained them, as well as the local dishes. Got to try the local dishes at lunch, along with the fruits. The canyons we spectacular. Carlos and Andy truly made this a very enjoyable trip, and a special memory for us.
