Great experience! Israel was excellent, knowledgeable, entertaining, and well-organized. The tour was informative and enjoyable, and we appreciated their his friendly attitude. Highly recommended!
We had an amazing day in cloud forest with the guide Isra. He was very friendly, kind and knowledgeable about cloud forest, birds and animals there. He was able to call some toucans and spot the birds for us, it was incredible! What a lovely experience, highly recommend!
Perfect Tour with perfect guide. Tasty food with beautiful birds and awesome coffee. Would definitely do it again.
The cloud forest was amazing..very beautiful and tons of birds..the people were lovely, our guides (Israel and Linda) were great and very accommodating..they took us everywhere we asked to go..would highly recommend this team of guides and this not to miss tour!
Great day exploring Mindo with Isra! He is the best tour guide I've ever had. He spoke great english,was very professional,and drove safe. He will plan the tour around what you prefer to do and he never made me felt rushed like some other tour operators have. He made my tour to Mindo feel special. I would 100% recommend him. Don't listen to the negative reviews. You just can't please some people no matter what you do. I truly believe you won't find a better tour operator in Quito. Thanks again Isra!
Booked at 15:00 for next morning. Operator did not confirm NOR cancel. Found out following morning that trip was cancelled. On a tight schedule so had to shuffle everything
The tour was canceled because no guide was available for that date. The cancellation was communicated in advance. As this is a private tour, we give priority to guests who book first and we respect those reservations.
Highly recommend this tour with Isra and Linda!! It is in the top 5 experiences of my entire life, and that means a lot coming from a solo adventurer. I witnessed incredible biodiversity in the cloud forest and learned about two of Ecuador’s crafts: coffee and chocolate! Isra and Linda were wonderful guides — very informed but chill and accommodating. Appreciated their careful planning and enthusiasm for the Mindo area.
Israel and Linda were awesome guides! They customized our day so that we were able to see beautiful waterfalls, hummingbirds, and coffee and chocolate plantations without seeing crowds of people! They also navigated severe weather and we were able to make it home despite a landslide blocking the road. Their expertise made a difficult day a success and it just felt like we were exploring with friends!
Isra was amazing! Very flexible and knowledgeable. The hummingbirds did not disappoint. The chocolate was a great experience. Very informative and yummy!
There are a lot of fun activities in the Mindo are and Isra our guide did an excellent job of picking an assortment that matched our interest. We enjoyed the coffee farm, amazing hummingbird garden, and chocolate tour. Isra showed us around the coffee farm and did a nice job of explaining things there. The chocolate tour he selected was excellent, informative, fun, and delicious. He also indulged my archaeology interest by taking us to the Tulipe ruins. Across from the lunch restaurant he selected, we got to watch several wild toucans in the trees. His driving was safe.
