Mindo Cloud Forest With Andres - Andres was the perfect guide. We throughly enjoyed our day trip with him. He was very knowledgeable, funny, and flexible. It was like touring with an old friend. He took us to two hummingbird spots and let us take our time and enjoy ourselves with no rushing. The next stop was the beautiful butterfly sanctuary. We enjoyed ourselves immensely. Don’t wait book your best trip ever with Andres.

Pure Nature - It was amazing, the weather spectacular, so many birds really close. The forest Walk, the orchids, the hummingbirds, the butterflies and the chocolate factory we liked very much. The Guide had a great knowledge about everything. Highly recomended this tour.

10/10 Recommend! - We loved our tour! Our guide was so knowledgeable about the ecosystems of Ecuador. He made an effort to help us enjoy our day, and he adapted our itinerary based on our preferences. We said we really wanted to see toucans, so when he heard one he chased it down across the valley so we could see it! We fed hummingbirds, swam in a waterfall, walked in a butterfly garden, and experienced artisan chocolate-making! He was friendly and helpful and answered so many of our questions about what to do in Ecuador even outside of Mindo. We would certainly recommend this tour with Andres!

Hummingbird Heaven! - HIGHLIGHT of my time in Quito -- we saw like 18 different species of hummingbirds, got to feed them, and it was magic! Our Tour Guide, Andres, was incredible. He has so much knowledge, was so kind, and really hooked us up with a private hummingbird experience, plus awesome food spots. The chocolate demonstration was also incredible and I learned so much. I would come back to Ecuador just for this experience again!
