Private Mindo-Tour, Ganztagestour ab Quito

Our guide Jhonatan was excellent, very knowledgeable. He shared a lot of information and facts about country history, local customs. Everything was on time and good pace. Car was comfortable and very clean. Jhonatan's English is excellent. The whole tour was perfect. I will definitely recommend him. Thank you.

Since this was a private tour, the guide was willing to tailor the experience to things we really wanted to do. Our guide, Johnathan, was like a walking encyclopedia of the area--he provided so much interesting information about the area and local customs. Jaime was our driver and we felt very safe in his hands. We loved seeing the hummingbirds and butterflies!

This was the best day tour! Everything went so smoothly. I can’t pick a highlight has everything was so good and engaging: butterfly centre, chocolate tastings, coffee and birdwatching and the amazing food and fruits. Overall the guide and driver made the experience- Jhonathan was so knowledgeable, lovely person and Jimmy is so sweet. We learned a lot and want to come back to Quito soon.

We had the best guide ever...Jhonaton. Jhonaton and his driver, James aka James Bond 007 were a great team!! Jhonaton was truly the best....very knowledgeable, friendly and perhaps most importantly, FUN. When I come back to Ecuador I will search him out for another tour. I can't say enough good things about this tour.

Our guide, Jeannin, was incredible. She spoke perfect English, drove quite well, and constantly checked in on us. Our hotel was by the Quito Airport, which isn't listed on their pick-up locations, but Jeannin picked us up there anyway. She was early and accommodating when we were running a bit behind. My grandmother was having digestive issues and she helped us get medicine at the local pharmacy. She was friendly, knew lots, and we had an incredible day with her. Entrance to Volcano viewing ($5 per person), hummingbird watching ($5 per person), butterfly garden ($8.50 per person), chocolate tasting ($10 per person and includes a lot of chocolate and chocolate related products), and lunch in Mindo (we went to Sisakuna) not included. It was 45 minutes to volcano from Quito airport, 2 hours to Mindo (butterflies, birds, town in cloud forest), and about 2 hours back. We left at 7:30 and got back at 5:00. Would recommend to anyone, felt totally safe and supported.

Our tour of historic Quito was so wonderful - we booked a second day with Jon! He took us up to Mindo with a few stops along the way. We enjoyed butterflies and hummingbirds, a fabulous lunch and great time learning how to make chocolate! [Yum]. Once again, rave reviews for Jon and Bacan Ecuador Tours!

We absolutely loved this private tour with Jhonatan and Jaime. They were so knowledgeable about Ecuadorian history, biodiversity, and indigenous practices. We learned so much, tried many new fruits, and appreciated the ease in which our trip was personalized to our preferences. Would highly recommend!

This was an epic day trip ! Our host Jhonathan and driver Jamie were personable and accommodating all day giving us options for our time in Mindo cloud forest. We saw humming birds, went zip lining and made chocolate we also saw beautiful volcanic crater and the middle of the world and butterflies 10 out of 10

Highly recommend! The guide was very knowledgeable, picked us up from our hostel, and made sure to tailor the trip to our wishes! The nature was absolutely amazing and the chocolate was delicious!

My wife and I had a great trip to Mindo with guide Jonathan and driver James. The 10 hour trip from our hotel included visits to a humming bird location where they also grow and produce coffee, a butterfly venue and a rather challenging walk plus cable car ride to a waterfall. Guide was great company and speaks excellent English. Strongly recommended.
