I didn't book a predetermined tour, but requested specific destinations. These were then combined to create a 10-day tour. The guides Joseph and Diego took good care of me and tried to help me with any questions as quickly as possible. My destinations were varied and I travelled from Quito on a round trip through Ecuador. I visited the surroundings of Quito, the Cotopaxi volcano, Banos with an excursion to a waterfall and then I spent 3 days in the jungle in the Amazon region. It was really great, I had lots of new experiences and got to know lots of people. My accommodation ranged from private accommodation to a hostel. But always in private rooms. That's why the price was a bit higher. I paid around €1800 for the 10 days. I also received help with finding reasonably priced excursions in Peru to Paracas and the Ica Desert for my onward journey, which was very helpful.Show more

Hello dear Kevin, Thank you so much for sharing your experience—it was a pleasure being part of your adventure! I’m really glad to hear you enjoyed the trip and that Diego and I could help make things smooth and enjoyable for you. Your itinerary was so unique, and it’s great to know you loved exploring Quito, Cotopaxi, Baños, and spending a few days in the Amazon. It sounds like you made the most of every moment! I’m also happy that the mix of accommodations worked well for you and that we could help with your plans for Peru. It was truly a pleasure helping you create this journey, and I hope to hear from you again if you’re planning another adventure in the future! All the best, Joseph

  At what date should I expect to receive my documents?

  Judith
  Traveler•Written February 2025
  How long is the drive back to Quito? Is there a chance to do a tour instead of a direct transfer? Is there anything to see in between the two cities? Will we be staying in the same hotel the last night, the Yellow Hotel? Do they charge for baggage storage if I want to leave one carry on there during the trip?
- Responsible Travel South AmericaOperator•Written February 2025
  Just as you mentioned, the shared transfer from Cuenca to Quito takes about 8 hours. Because of the distance, it is a direct transfer with only stops for bathroom breaks and lunch. The Yellow House Hotel will be your only hotel in Quito, and you can leave your luggage there if needed.

  Judith
  Traveler•Written February 2025
  I would rather do a tour on the way back to Quito from Cuenca that stops along the way.
- Responsible Travel South AmericaOperator•Written February 2025
  I will be happy to arrange a private transfer with a driver guide from Cuenca to Quito with stops along the way. The cost is US$ 480.
