Adventure Journeys commented on this reviewThank you very much for your kind words! We are glad you enjoyed your adventure with us and had a great time. Don't hesitate to book your next adventure with us! Take care
Trip date: February 2024 - Alina· May 12th, 2023I am incredibly grateful to Adventure Journeys for organising this tour. It turned out to be a one-person group, and I was a little bummed at first, but my guide Jorge managed to make it feel like home here in Ecuador. The places we went to were incredible (majestic Chimborazo is now forever in my heart), food was amazing, and I was awestruck by accommodation every time. And due to the mobility of our small group we went to see much more than was expected. If I come back to Ecuador, I will definitely resort to AJ services once more.Show moreTrip date: April 2023
- TTorsten· January 5th, 2023This review is 5-stars because of David. He knew every corner store owner, reputable restaurant, street doggo, hiking trail and survival tip needed (or not) on the trip. His expertise surpassed every other guide I’ve toured with and then some. I’ve traveled to 31 countries and lived abroad 4 times but have rarely come across someone so knowledgeable and passionate about their country and of sharing their home with others. The accommodations were charming with very comfortable and welcoming amenities especially when it came to the service and food. I’ve done everything from 7-day safaris sleeping in the dirt to 5-star luxury trips so I’ve seen it all. You’ll be cozy, clean and have a comfortably full belly after each day’s journey. Please be a humble and responsible traveler if you decide to take a tour through Ecuador, especially if it’s with David. The hospitality, the professionalism and the enthusiasm of the people you will encounter along this trip deserve at least that (and a ton of thanks). Safe travels and yes, this is the tour to take.Show moreAdventure Journeys commented on this reviewHi Torsten. Thank you so much for sharing your experience.

- AWAgathe Gwen Eos· November 26th, 2018Fantastic way to explore Ecuador’s nature. The trekking was excellent and every day felt different. Christian was our guide and he did a great job at introducing us to this beautiful country and its culture and people. I traveled alone and immediately felt comfortable and welcomed by everyone in the group. Lovely people and a unique experience that I would recommend to any newcomer to this country!Show moreAdventure Journeys commented on this reviewAgathe, thanks for your comment. We are very pleased giving the best of us and showing the world our beautiful and diverse country.Trip date: November 2018
- Katherine· September 22nd, 2018Just what I wanted! We saw the tree by volcanoes, Fatima set a good pass for hiking days and the packed lunches were more than enough food. Food was as usual in Ecuador and accomodation was great! Fatima was an excellent guide, she was always telling us about the area and answering our questions. Would definitely recommend this to anyone who want to hike Quilitoa and have a blast!!Show moreAdventure Journeys commented on this reviewThanks Katherine for your comment!

Traveler•Written August 2025Thank you. The tour looks great but I realized that I won't have sufficient time to acclimatize as I only arrive the night before. The next weeks dates don't suit, so unfortunately I will have to give it a miss.
- Adventure JourneysOperator•Written August 2025
Our tour is quoted thinking all of this situation, the Quito city is located 2800 mts over the sea. Then you will not have any problem with the acclimatization

Asked on July 16th, 2025I was looking at your 8 day avenue of the volcanoes tour and wondering if it's only run on certain days? I'm looking to start on Monday Feb 2.
