Great day Highland exploring! - Had a fantastic day on a private tour with Pedro! He picked us up on time and we spent a wonderdful day exploring beautiful scenary. Pedro was very knowledgeable and passionate. He took us first to Cotopaxi and showed us the beautiful national park and mountain. Then we visited the quilotoa lagoon which was gorgeous and we had a great lunch after! The drives are long from Quito but absolutely beautiful the entire way. We also rested on the way back and it went by fast. Great day!

A day to remember! - Juan Carlos and our driver Oscar took me and my partner on a day we will remember forever. It started cloudy and on the way to Cotopaxi it seemed we might not see anything- but we were in luck! As we got out of the car the sun came through and the epic landscape revealed itself- stunning!
Quilotoa was amazing! Breathtaking views and very much an adventure getting down and climbing up again! (I got myself a man with a horse on the way up but Juan and my partner braved the super steep hill) - I would definitely recommend walking down and getting the horse up 😅
Juan is an excellent guide with all the knowledge and also a great person to spend time with! We had a wonderful day!

Great day tour. Highly recommended! - A great way to get away from Quito for a day and check out some nature!
Diego was very helpful and the arrangement was flexible.
So it was a great chill day for people who want to check out the name sake Cotopaxi

Great tour - Our guide Pedro was amazing! He was full of insightful facts about Ecuador and Quito and we enjoyed learning from him. Unfortunately for us the weather did not cooperate and we did not see Cotopaxi in all his glory but we did enjoy our tour and saw a lot of other cool stuff. It’s a very long day to do both but it was not uncomfortable.

Cotopaxi and Quilotoa great time! - Pedro and the driver were excellent. Pedro was very professional and gracefully shared his knowledge with us. He did a lot of extra effort so we could see at least some of Cotopaxi Volcano regardless of clouds. Quilotoa Laguna is outstanding.. We had great lunch over there enjoying the nature beauty. It is a lot of driving though the mountains but with the driver we felt very secure. I recommend this trip to everyone who has issues with climbing in high altitude but still want to get close to Cotopaxi.

Cotopaxi & Quilotoa - This trip was wonderful. We had Irene as our guide and Santiago as our driver. Irene is so knowledgeable about her country we learned so much about the indigenous people, history and the agriculture. The views were amazing at both places and we got to hike around Laguna Limpiopungo. I liked how we were able to make the most of our time seeing so much as we only have a couple days in Quito. I highly recommend this trip and having Irene as your guide.

Cotopaxi and Quilotoa in One Day - The weather was not really cooperative so I could not see Cotopaxi but that was not my guide Pedro’s fault. He was knowledge about the area and answered any questions I had. If you want to hike down to the bottom of the Quilotoa crater lake, wear good shoes. I didn’t have the right shoes for walking down the steeper areas. Lunch at the restaurant was decent.

We saw a lot of Equador... - We saw a lot of Ecuador and Pedro was a FANTASTIC tour guide. He is very knowledgeable about Ecuador and about the natural areas of Ecuador. Great driver and we felt safe the entire time. He also provided water. Pedro was flexible and stopped when we wanted to take a picture or check something out. The trip is long, you spend a lot of time in the car driving to the caldera and back, but all in all it is what we wanted, to see the landscape of Ecuador and how the rural people live.
The lunch was a bit confusing. We paid $50 each extra for lunch included and had a choice of soup and chicken and rice or an omelet. If you didn't want those items, you paid extra. ??? The meal price listed on the menu is $4-$6. Not sure what we paid $50 each for, so my advice is don't pay extra for a meal, just buy it for yourself at the restaurant.
