It was our first time to Ecuador and we were very lucky on our first tour to meet Juan as our guide. He told us so many things about the country and places that we are inspired to learn more and come back to Ecuador again.

Our guide Louis was wonderful and very knowledgeable about the area. We went Guango lodge and took a nature hike to see hummingbirds and other birds. We throughly enjoyed the day!

We booked a 4 day/3 night tour of the Andes highlands and Amazon Basin with Ecuador Best Tours and it was simply awesome. The river rafting in Mindo and hiking in Cotopaxi were personal highlights. The accommodations were fantastic and our guide (Carlos) and driver (Vladdy) were top notch. I highly recommend this tour for its value and opportunity for adventure

My tour guide, Michael was great! He was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I was the only person on the tour, so it was very customizable.

My second day with the fabulous Myriam, who is a wonderful guide, has amazing English and really knows her stuff. Today the target was condors. Given there are only 130 left in Ecuador, I knew there was a chance i wouldn’t see one, but we saw 10!!! Also several other amazing birds. Another excellent day and Myriam was also aware of the altitude and that I had some issues in Quito, so she kept a close eye on me, asking about symptoms. I felt very safe in her hands. Well worth a visit to this amazingly beautiful place.

We booked the Cable Car and Quito Private City Tour (Ecuador Best Tours). This was such a great day to get us familiar with Quito. Our guide, Ximena was terrific! She was so much fun to be with and tailored our tour to meet our interests! We went up the hill to visit the statue of Mary and overlook the city. We explored the market in the old town. Lucky to be there on Sunday when the market was active. The churches were also having services that day and we were able to go into the back to observe and hear the music. We had a fabulous lunch, went to a chocolate tasting that we loved and walked around town with Ximena’s guidance and stories. We finally took the cable car up the mountain for a fantastic view and hiked up to the swings for unique photos. Ximena was caring and patient as we stopped for many breaks to catch our breath in this high altitude. I recommend this tour, where you can choose to do what interests you with the help of an experienced guide!

Bucket list to see the Amazon forest and westernmost tributaries of the Amazon River. Ecuador has such beautiful landscapes, water falls, volcanos, hot baths and there were lots of stops to see scenery. Baños was very charming. It was hopping and a great place for lunch and cervezas. It’s a three hour trip with great views and lots of places to stop. Freddy was a wonderful host.

Amazing tour guide! I learned so much and had the best time! WORTH IT! The views were stunning, and the tour of the city was so informative.

I would give Luis 10 stars if I could. He was amiable, knowledgeable, and accommodating. The food was delicious and the sights were unforgettable. The tour was the perfect balance of activity and eating. Plus, we learned a lot about Quito.

Jimena was amazing. She arrived on time. Gave clear description of the day’s activities. She was very patient and gave us enough time to explore and take pictures. Would highly recommend.

Had an excellent time on July 4th. Ximena was a great guide and made sure I was having fun and provided me excellent cultural history of Ecuador and the Baños area. From this tour, you leave Quito to Baños and come back same day. In Baños, the tour is personalized to your liking. I did zip line, bungee jumped 50 meters, and saw some spectacular waterfalls in the start of the Amazon. Would definitely recommend this tour.

Pros: we absolutely loved this tour. Diana, our guide was amazing, welcoming, friendly, answered questions, and was accommodating with stops for the bathrooms, coffee, and just to take photos. And of course hiking Cotopaxi was incredible. Plus the lunch was to die for. (And good vegetarian options!) Cons: the agenda listed horseback riding, hiking, and lunch. About 2hrs in we asked when we would be horseback riding and were told actually this tour had none! Not sure if we were put on the wrong tour or if this was just a change of plans, and we were more excited about hiking anyhow, BUT! If you desperately want to horseback ride, triple check. 🤣

We enjoyed the cable cars. Our guide was very nice. The cable car was well timed as we went early and had good weather and beat the crowds. We enjoyed the views. We then went to old town and new town.

Unfortunately the cable car was closed for maintenance, but it was still a fantastic tour of Quito. Diana our guide for the day was fantastic. She was very helpful and enthusiastic and showed us so many wonderful things in this beautiful city

This was an amazing trip and our guide, Diana and driver, Wilmer were excellent. This is our second tour with Ecuador Best Tours and their communication, service, attention to detail and focus on safety is outstanding. We hiked from the parking lot at Cotopaxi to the refuge. While it is only a 1km hike, you are doing it from roughtly 14,000 to 15,000 feet. It took us over 1 hour. It was very exhausting but our guide helped us through….urging us to take small steps and many rest stops. It was totally worth it and an excellent accomplishment. Coming down is easy. Hiking poles are highly recommended. The lunch at the Hacienda was an excellent reward as well.
