Amazing Time in Quito! - We had a wonderful day exploring Quito. Ishmael was a super flexible guide who was knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. He adjusted the itinerary so that we had clearer weather and visibility at the top of the cable car. The view was simply spectacular. We had a great visit to a local market in town. We enjoyed a walk about at the Basilica and around Old Town. The lunch spot was fantastic and featured amazing local dishes. We closed the day with a visit to the equator. I highly recommend this tour.

Exceeded expectations! - Ishmael was an incredible guide. He communicated with me before our tour to introduce himself and ask if I had any questions. We spent a busy day at a relaxing pace around Quito and I learned some of the history and culture facts. He was vey knowledgeable and easy to talk to with excellent English. I would highly recommend him to family and friends or any looking for a small group private and personal adventure in Ecuador. It was the perfect way to begin my trip!

Banõs truly is a little piece of heaven… - Initially Ismael took our larger group for a tour of Quito. The various churches, presidents office, town square, markets followed by an incredible lunch made for a great day that was crowned with a visit to the equator!!! We enjoyed Ismael's knowledge and friendliness, next day my father and I took the 2 day tour to Cotopaxi and Banos. This surpassed all expectations and made a great trip one of our best travel experiences ever. The Hike up Coto, paragliding, exploring Banos, hot springs, swing around the world, Cable car and Ziplining packed a lifetime of memories into two days... Highly recommended!!! Next we hope to return to spend time in the amazon and hike up a volcano or two...

Wonderful day trip to Quilotoa with Ismael - Wonderful organization and day trip to Quilotoa! Was easily picked up from my hotel, and had multiple options for stops along the way to the crater lake. We walked down to the water and back up, and took several pictures along the way. Ismael is very knowledgeable about the land, the communities surrounding, the plants you encounter etc. so not only are you getting great views, a great workout, and a fun day away from the city, you are also learning a lot about Ecuador!

So much more than I expected. - We turned a transit ride from Quito-Baños into an amazing tour full of flora, fauna, scenery, history, local markets, volcanos and vistas. I would have rated this experience 5-stars on the itinerary, alone. However, on top of all this, Ismael was such a friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating guide. I feel like we made a friend and would rate 6/5 stars if I could. I would recommend Ismael’s services, without reservation, to anyone.

The best tour guide! - Ismael is the best tour guide I’ve ever had! He helped me have the most exciting and adventurous three days in Baños by coordinating and booking everything as well as managing all the logistics! He made my time there absolutely seamless and because of him I was able to go paragliding, rock climbing, canyoning, and hiking all in two days! It was a true private tour service and by the end of the three days it felt more like spending a great weekend with a friend than a tour guide! Ismael also provides luxury car services to and from Quito to Baños and the surrounding areas (including airport transportation!) He is an expert tour guide equipped to handle all your needs! Just contact Ismael and see all your plans in beautiful Ecuador effortlessly unfold!
