          Great experience and highly recommended
          We spent two days in Quito before our Galapagos trip. We have a great time with our guide Luis these two days. He’s a really nice guy and a great help. We enjoyed the tours in Quito and in Mindo very much. Many thanks to our guide Luis. Also we would like to thank Angela for organizing the tours for us. Highly recommended.

          Great Trip - Reliable Operator
          Had a great trip - full day private tour with Luis and pickup to/from airport with Jorge. Both are very nice people and on time/reliable - had a very early flight out and Jorge arrived early. Full day tour of Quito was great and included the Teleferico, which was awesome. Good communication with the operator as well - overall an amazing experience!

          Excellent tour of Quito!
          We spent an absolutely wonderful day exploring Quito with Angela and Jamie. They were so knowledgeable and engaging. It was like they were a part of our family by the end of the day. We will definitely look them up if we get to Quito again and highly recommend them to anyone looking to experience a true taste of Ecuador. Linda and Paul

          Great tour to the middle of the world museum area
          We arranged a private tour to the middle of the world museum area. Our guide Freddy did a great job. He gave us some background on Ecuador and Quito on the drive from our hotel. And passed on a lot of knowledge about the middle of the world and the museum displays. Then answered any questions we had on the way back to our hotel. And the price for the tour was reasonable.

          A must do tour!
          Quito is an amazing city surrounded by 17 volcanos of which five are active if I remember correctly, what Fredy our guide told us. The views are breathtaking with clouds, touching the volcanos and the flora and fauna is very lush.. The basilica in the old town looks like a mini Notre Dame in Paris. The tour itinerary was perfect and Fredy made it a fun and very informative tour. we would recommend this tour.

          Best Bucket List check-off EVER
          We spent 5 days in the Galapagos. Our trip was amazing - from the excursions and the animals that we saw to the boat and the crew and the food and most of all - our guide. He was so informative! We booked through Galagents/Let's Go To Ecuador! and they were extremely helpful and responded quickly to any questions we had. I would definitely repeat this adventure and check the "highly recommend" box!

          Visiting Ecuador? This is the tour for you!
          Juan Carlos was absolutely fantastic. He felt more like a friend than a tour guide. You could really feel his enthusiasm showing all of his favorite things about Ecuador to us. Juan Carlos or JuanCa as he likes to go by was absolutely vital to the fun we experienced. His depth of information was impressive and he has recommendations for food/snacks in all types of places. He introduced me to the most amazing chocolate brownie I ever had. To top it all off he was even patient with the toddler we had. Highly highly recommended.

          Outstanding day trip for two couples in Quito
          Our guide was outstanding. We had my 82 year-old in-laws with us and Cesar was incredibly patient and helpful with them all day. He also took us to a lunch restaurant with an amazing view but which wasn’t very expensive. The ongoing commentary about history, culture, current events, etc was exactly what we wanted. We had a chocolate history lesson, demonstration & tasting. The two churches were very different but both gorgeous and fascinating. We highly recommend this tour company!

          Highly recommended to help you create a perfect Ecuadorian vacation.
          They were invaluable in helping us plan different tour guides for us all across the country. We spent two weeks htting sites in Quito, Riobamba, Cotopaxi, Banos, and Latacuguna. They also set us up with our driver and 11 person van for the total time we’re in Ecuador. Getting around in Quito via Uber was very easy, but once we were outside of the main city, we appreciated having our own transportation due to the amount of luggage we had on large family. Plus, it made be an on our own schedule so much easier and accomplishing much more than we would’ve been able to do via public transportation. They helped arrange the most amazing cooking class with a reasonable budget because all the ones I could find online were astronomical! This alone was saved us hundreds of dollars! I highly recommend working with this group. They were very honest. They were available for any questions, help of any kind at any time. They were very thoughtful, caring and helpful. I can’t recommend any anymore strongly.

          A Memorable Day in Quito
          We spent one day in Quito before our Galapagos trip. We booked this day tour. Juan Carlo and his driver picked us up at our hotel right on time-- 8:30. They took us to so many sights. Be sure to see the National Basilica, San Francisco church, the Parque Itchimbia (Quito sign). Our driver was an expert, for sure. Always felt safe in the crazy traffic. Spent some time on a walking tour of the old city. We went to a chocolate factory and heard a young lady describe several different chocolates. Lastly, we went to the middle of the earth. Juan grew up in this area so he knew so much history. I recorded his explanations on my phone so I could use it when I make my Shutterfly book. Hopefully, we will return to Quito some future time and hire Juan again; he did a great job for us.

          Perfect Day In Quito
          We took this tour as iternaries had everything we wanted to do in Quito in one day.  The trip was definitely very enjoyable with Cesar Luis as our guide. He was very courteous and knowledgeable. Driving was very safe. From El Pancillo, the 2 Churches to Mitad Del Mundo, every location was interesting. Time went so quickly that we did all sites before the rain arrived Quito.  A big thank you to Cesar Luis!

          Quito express city tour
          It was a great short city tour including all most important sights in the Old Town and chocolate tasting. We had only a couple of hours to see Quito during our layover, but Angela and Jamie were able to modify their standard tour itineary to adapt to our schedule. They took us to Basilica, San Francisco Church and to Panecillo for super city views and made several stops on the way to show interesting parts of the city. Everything was perfectly organised, we were picked from our hotel with comfortable mini bus and transported to the airport after the tour for our return flight. Let's Go to Ecuador took care of every small detail, like free water for us, which is maybe a small gesture, but important when you are on the go. Angela and Jamie are lovely people, so knowable and pasionate about history of Quito and Ecuador. It was a super interesting tour but also very nice time with Angela and Jamie. We hope to be back to Ecuador soon and we will definetely ask them to organise our longer stay!

          Great day in Quito!
          Angela and Jamie were amazing hosts and travel guides! Their knowledge of Quito and Ecuador was incredible. We had no idea of what Quito would be like. We loved the city and highly recommend this day tour!

        Jamie and Angela, amazing hosts in Quito, arranged a two night stay for us in the Napo River region of Ecuador. This tour involved a drive from Quito to Tene with beautiful stops along the way, including Papallaca Hot Springs and the Hummingbird Forest.
        From the start, Angela and Jamie arranged everything and provided us with a first hand look at the culture and beauty of Ecuador. They also recommend a wonderful boutique hotel in Quito, Casa Joaquin, which was a fabulous introduction to the city and area.
        We highly recommend anyone to contact them should you wish to arrange a tour, whether it be a day trip or several days. This is the best way to learn about Ecuador and enjoy the beautiful country.
