Is there anyone signed up for this tour starting Jan. 3 or Jan. 10? If so, would I still need to pay $1,885 as a solo traveler, or would I pay $1,423 for a single room?

unfortunately, there is not open guarantee departure for the dates you want. if you want to travel as solo traveler the prices is $ 1886

My husband and I are interested in this tour. We hike a lot in the mountains of Montana, but we are in our 70s and are nervous about what it will be like to hike at these (Andes) elevations. What is your opinion?

We have many guests in their 70s and we never had problems specially because our specialist guides are flexible and can going and manage the level of guests want. So you can confirm this date for your unforgettable trip in Ecuador!!!

Do we need to be an expert hiker in order to do this tour? I'm a female solo traveler and would like to join a group

you do not need to be an expert hiker for this tour, please let me know when are you planing to come to Ecuador in order to check if you can join with other passenger and avoid the payment of solo traveler suplement.

I am interested in the Ecuador trekking the avenue of volcanoes tour. If I am the only person booking, will the trip be cancelled or will I have to pay extra?

No, sorry, I can't. What would the extra cost be for only one person?

I 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. Secondly I was wondering if it's possible to get a late night flight out on the 7th night (when the tour is back in Quito), rather than on the morning of the 8th day

Yes, there are fixed departres all the months. for the program Ecuador Trekking The Avenue of Volcanoes, the date more closed that we have open is from February 08, 2026. If this date be suiable for you, can join to this aazing program

Can you confirm the trip will be guaranteed to go if I am the only person? If I book through Tourradar will I get a cost savings?

We have open departures without paying a solo traveller fee on April 26 to May 3rd and June 21 to June 28.

What types of trails and physical activities does the tour involve?

The tour involves various physical activities including trekking, biking, and occasional cultural walks through scenic paths and historical sites.

Is luggage transfer from hotel to hotel included or do you have to hike/trek with your pack?

Our staff will assist with your large luggage from hotel to hotel without any problem. For the hike/trek you will only need to carry your backpack with your personal items such as purified water, sunscreen, glasses, etc.

Are there specific visa requirements for travel on this tour?

Visa requirements mostly depend on your nationality and the destinations covered by the tour. It's advisable to check with the relevant embassies prior to travel.

Can I opt-out of shared accommodation?

Yes, opting for a single room instead of shared accommodation generally requires payment of a single supplement fee.

Everything from booking through the trip was fantastic! For starters, AJ was accommodating in that they allowed the trip to proceed with only one person - it makes it difficult for those solos at times when we don’t at least have a second person - I am super grateful. Next, my guide, Rafael, was second to none. I asked a ton of questions about everything and he was able and willing to answer anything. He also added what I thought were special touches tailored to what I like during the trip - another benefit of solo travel! Finally, the trip itself was amazing- perfect itinerary with lots of activity and variety in the scenery and lodgings. I would highly recommend!!Show more

I 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 more

This 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 more

Fantastic 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 more
