Highly recommended Jungle tour on a budget and short time! - We selected the full day Jungle tour by recommendation of our hotel. We wanted a small group, there were five of us. The service was great, the equipment was in good shape and met our needs. We had to pay in cash, so be prepared. The driver was careful and met our needs for bathroom breaks. The guide knew good English, and told us a lot about the jungle, we managed to see a lot considering it is only one day, we loved the lunch and most of all the Indian village experience, highly recommended!

Probably the best intro to the Ecuadorian Amazonia - If you are looking for a 1 day excursion from Baños to the Amazonian that has it all: transportation, cool guides, great activities, so many stops packed in a full day adventure at an unbeatable price, then this is for you 👌🏻

Amazing - I really enjoyed the Full Day Jungle Tour! Our tour guide was amazing (one of the best I have ever had in my life), and the schedule of the day worked quite well. I had a lot of fun, I felt safe the whole time, and I highly recommend this tour for anybody in or near Baños!

A once in a lifetime experience - This trip was excellent value for money. I really wanted to get to see the Amazon while I was in Ecuador but couldn't afford to do a multi-day trip so I was really happy to find this one-day jungle tour. From the 'rope of death' to the visit to the Yasuni village, canoeing on the river and making chocolate, there's something for everyone. Highly recommended!

Booked an English tour. I... - Booked an English tour. I was the only person who spoke English. It wasn't terrible got to practice my Spanish but feel like I missed out on a lot of info. Just about every place offers this same tour. I would recommend booking through your hostel rather than through here.

Cool places, but no English spoken - I booked the tour because it says in three separate places that the guide will be bilingual. It turns out my guide and everyone else on the tour only spoke Spanish. I had no idea what was going on and was unable to learn anything about the jungle or indigenous people because of the language barrier. I was also unprepared for all activities because I couldn’t understand the instructions. They take you to cool places, but If you don’t speak Spanish well and being able to communicate with the guide and fellow travelers is important to you I’d suggest you look elsewhere.

Jungle Marathon - We selected the full day Jungle tour by recommendation of our hotel. We wanted a small group and our age group. We were all in our 50's, six of us. The service was great, the equipment was in good shape and met our needs. We had to pay with cash which caught us off guard but a local ATM took care of that. The driver was careful and met our needs for bathroom breaks. The lower mark comes from the guide, It was like he was running a race, stayed way ahead of us, we felt very rushed. This was pretty much the case on the trails we hiked. We loved what we seen, the lunch and most of all the village experience.
