Luis was an amazing guide. An encyclopedia of knowledge about the cloud forest flora and fauna. Exceptional guide and driver. He made our first trip to Ecuador amazing. We would return for another trip with this guide. There is so much to explore here

The Cloud forest trip was good. Lots of fauna. No orchids as it was not the season. No animals. Beautiful falls and a short tram ride. Lots of hiking to get to the top most falls. We visited the Humming bird place, it was good, lots of Hummingbirds. The key to a private tour is u can customize it, and leave out places that u are not interested in. Our guide Luis was excellent.

Our guide pointed out all the options for places to visit and we got to pick. We also decided how long to spend at each place

We had a great day with our guide Luis. Pickup from the hotel was prompt with excellent driving in his truck. The stop at the hummingbird garden was our favorite. So amazing! We also chose to do a short hike which included the cable car in the jungle. It was a beautiful day which ironically is not the best weather for this trip. You'll see many more birds and clouds if the weather is not sunny. Good either way but keep in mind if you are a birder. Very flexible options so you can tailor your trip to your needs/wants. Highly recommend this company, this tour and Luis!

this was a really lovely tour and it was nice that we could customize it to exactly what we wanted. however for the price per person, it's very expensive to not even include entry to any of the places. expect to drop another $20+ per person if you want to actually do anything. our tour guide Myriam was incredibly knowledgeable and so easy to talk to and be around. she made us feel very comfortable and we learned so much from her.

Our guide, Freddy - was on time to pick us up, was flexible with the itinerary to accommodate what we wanted to do, and spoke perfect English and Spanish.

Our guide, Ivan, was amazing! He was incredibly knowledgeable about all sorts of things, and he really helped cater the experience to exactly what we wanted to do. The pickup from the hotel was incredibly easy, and every stop was awesome. The hummingbirds were unlike anything I’ve ever seen. The cable car was fun and had a great view. The waterfall was beautiful. The butterfly conservation reserve was so peaceful and lovely. Highly recommend to anyone not 100% sure on what they want to do in Mindo! We did a bit of everything and I’m so glad we booked this tour.

Ximena was a fantastic guide. So knowledgeable! It was like having our own personal biologist for the day . We learned so much about the local flora and fauna! The day we spent in Mindo was exciting (cable cars!) and relaxing (an incredible meal by a tranquil pond) . The hummingbirds and chocolate tours were both magical and delicious. These are memories we will carry forward with us for years to come. Thank you for this incredible adventure!

This was an incredible way to explore and learn about Mindo. My guide Ximena was so friendly and informative and gave me options of what we could do with our day, outlining time constraints. This was so helpful as I could then make informed choices and enjoy the day where I was lucky enough to do lots of the available activities! I learnt more about the culture in Ecuador and Mindo specifically and it was a day I won’t forget - the cable car and hummingbirds were my favourites!

Great trip to the cloud forest, so many amazing activities to do. Our guide was great very knowledgeable about the area and animals. It was very informative and a nice easy day trip to get out of the hustle and bustle of the city. We opted to see the hummingbirds, butterflies and waterfall hike. Very nice to have a private guide show us around.
