We really enjoyed this tour! The stops they picked were great. We liked the hotels (Ikala in Quito and Isla Hotel & Spa in Baños); they were clean and comfortable. We had different tour guides throughout this group. A group trip in a van with Joel as our guide to Otavalo; a private city tour with Alexis; and 4 days with Erick. Both Erick and Alexis went above and beyond to answer questions, take us to see what we were interested in, and advocating for us. Alexis even extended our city tour to show us one additional thing we requested and dropped us off at the gondola for our afternoon activity on our own. All 3 guides spoke great English and we had no communication issues with them. They were very knowledgeable about the country and culture and did a great job explaining everything to us. Erick also did a great job interacting with my child and keeping her entertained and included. The tour was private (just the 3 of us) except for the one day in Otavalo. On the private days we were in our guide's vehicles. Both Alexis and Erick had nice and clean cars and we felt safe. The van that was used for the day trip to Otavalo was clean but could have used AC. It got very hot in there and due to the poor air quality we could not really open the windows. The driver that day was not great; which became very obvious by the amount of people honking at him. Overall, it was a nice mix of nature, culture, city, and shopping (markets). We would book with this company again. We also enjoyed working with Daniela at the office; she was responsive to questions and helpful.Show more
