It was a very nice day with many diverse activities. The guide Dani and the driver Jonathan were very friendly and helpful. Absolutely worth their money! The only thing that can still be mentioned is that you can also swim by the river. We didn't know that and it would have been nice.
Daniel was a great tour guide and stayed calm while rescuing two people who got lost while taking the wrong trekking path haha! 10/10, would go on another tour with him. Mindo is fantastic!
Mindo was awesome!. We were lucky to have Daniel once again as our guide; we had him a few days before for another tour. The hummingbirds were the highlight of the trip, but the day overall was a really enjoyable one. The hike to the waterfall and back was a bit tiring, but worth the effort. Our driver Jonathan was good as well as he navigated the windy road to Mindo. Very nice getaway for the day.
Beautiful and serene experience. The hummingbirds and butterflies are so soothing. The hike and swim in the waterfall will revitalize you. Pamela is the best guide!🥰
Had the best day feeding hummingbirds and butterflies, riding a cable cart through the canopy, hiking and swimming at waterfall and learning all about how chocolate is made. Josua was an excellent guide and switched seamlessly between Spanish and English even though we were the only 2 non Spanish speakers on the tour. Highly highly recommend this tour. Great value for money
Beautiful landscapes! Amazing experience getting to feed the hummingbirds. Jessica was a great guide and kept us on track. Pro tip: WEAR INSECT REPELLENT. We were attacked by these small biting flies called Midges.
Ernesto the guide made this tour that much better. He took pics and kept you aware of what was coming up. Friendly tour guide! I would do this tour again to Mindo!
We had a wonderful experience on our trip to Mindo. Ernesto was fundamental to making this day special. He is an extremely attentive guide, always with a smile on his face and a good contagious mood. During the whole journey, he shared fascinating curiosities about the places we passed, which enriched the tour a lot. In addition, he was super helpful, helping us with photos and ensuring we had the best experience possible. He really makes a difference and takes care of every detail with great affection. I would also like to highlight the work of Jonathan, our driver. Even dealing with roads full of curves, he led us safely and a smooth direction, which left us calm all the time. All we have to do is thank this fantastic couple for making our day in Mindo memorable. I highly recommend!
I highly recommend the Mindo tour - it is so full of first-time experiences that you almost forget real life isn't like that - a thrill-a-minute - all the time! We had delicate little hummingbirds alighting on our hands one moment, and bright blue butterflies eating food off our fingers the next. We went on an exciting ride in a cable car above the trees, followed by a short hike through the peaceful rainforest that was punctuated by a refreshing swim in a stunningly beautiful waterfall in between. Every moment packed full of delight and wonder! And what's more: it all felt so easy, with a capable tour guide and driver, Diana and Ivan, who took such good care of us. Diana switched easily from English to Spanish for the multi-lingual crowd, and never seemed bothered by having to look backwards while narrating the tour on such windy, curvy roads. Most memorable was watching part of Ecuador's third World Cup game over lunch and then waiting to hear the final score - in full suspense as we lost service part of the way back - before finding out, joyfully, that Ecuador had won against Germany, successfully advancing to the next stage. Everyone enjoyed celebrating with Ivan and Diana - and all of Ecuador, really - all the way back to Quito.
Excellent day with guide Irene. Pick up seamless and on time with a great communication through whatsapp. Small group with 9 people. Amazing places to visit including hummingbirds, butterflies, waterfall and a chocolate tasting. The guide was super friendly and knowledgeable, excellent bilingual explanation. Great value for money, have booked another tour with them.
