An amazing Quito experience for the ages! - Wow! What an amazing tour!
I want to give a big shout-out to Fernando, our tour guide, and Carlos, our driver. They provided exceptional service from the moment we were picked up until drop-off. Their time management was impeccable, even when we encountered unexpected traffic in the morning; it didn’t significantly impact any of our tour highlights.
The hike at Cotopaxi was an unforgettable experience. Fernando did an excellent job explaining everything along the way, showcasing his extensive knowledge.
I highly recommend this tour, and I suggest coming prepared for diverse weather conditions.

Awesome tour of Cotopaxi - The Cotopaxi Full-Day Tour was awesome and definitely worth it. It started with the drive to Cotopaxi National Park, and along the way, our guide Irene shared lots of interesting facts about the area. Irene was knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining, making the whole experience enjoyable. During the trip we saw various wild animals including condors, horses and goats to name some. The hike up Cotopaxi was moderately difficult but very rewarding.
The included lunch was very tasty. If you’re visiting Quito and want to experience the beauty of Cotopaxi, I’d definitely recommend this tour.

Highly recommend Irene!! - I cannot recommend enough my wonderful tour guide Irene and driver Jimmy. From the moment we started I felt welcomed, she had a lightness and sense of humor to herself that made it clear she was passionate about what she does and it really made this feel more like an adventure versus seeing a place and ticking a box. I took her tour to Cotopaxi. During the trip we had an unexpected incident with the van, but thanks to her quick thinking and calmness under pressure we hit the road again in no time and had an amazing experience.

The best guide to Cotopaxi. - It was a wonderful experience and therefore above all the guidance that Irene gave us, always pending the group, the predisposition and proactivity to keep in those hours several unknown people being a family. Chévere be able to meet our beautiful Ecuador with people who detail you even the information that goes unnoticed.
Keep working with people, so it’s wonderful to know and take ownership of what you already know so you can share it with others.
