We had the best day with David - one of the highlights of our Ecuador trip! He showed us all the major sights and was so accommodating for any activities or changes we wanted to make to the itinerary. He was full of helpful info about Ecuador and he answered all of our questions so thoroughly and patiently.

My Dear friend Melissa, thank you so much your your beautiful comment. To me it is always a pleasure make the best to my guest. Thank you so much for your confidence. 🙂
We had the best day with David going to Banos from Quito! On the way there, he provided helpful insight into Ecuadorian culture and geography, and he pointed out many beautiful sights like Volcanoes along the way. Once in Banos, we had the best time seeing the best of all the sites - the swing at the end of the world and many beautiful waterfalls, including El Pailon de Diablo, which was so impressive. We also rode a cable car and walked over the crystal bridge, seeing the stunning sights of the Andes. David guided us through all of these areas flawlessly, and directed us to a great restaurant for lunch before our return to Quito. I can’t recommend a tour with David highly enough!
