Recommend for adventure!

This was a great mix of adventurous activities! Our guide David was very knowledgeable and passionate about Ecuador, and we had a great driver, Lobo, too! We traveled over NYE which had additional fun traditions for the country. I recommend this tour if you are up for hiking, biking, rafting, climbing through waterfalls and trying lots of great food!
Fantastic as it can be

The Multisport Tour is without hesitation a “once in a lifetime adventure”. I highly recommend this tour with Adventure Journeys, I couldn’t have had a better time.
Our guide Paul is just wonderful, probably the best tour guide on this planet. He made every day memorable for us. Paul is extremely knowledgeable about his Home country, the history, nature and wildlife.
The 8-day trip brought us to the Cotopaxi National Park, we had an exciting bike tour in the cloud forest; the tour went further to the Amazon, where we enjoyed canoying and home stay at a wonderful family (we made our own chocolate !). Then we had lots of fun during a rafting-willie expedition, we relaxed in the hot springs in Papallacta and learned about a sustainable project, developed by AJ. Our last adventure was a trekking tour around the Cuicocha Crater Lake. Not to forget the nice hotels which were selected for us.
During the entire tour, our guide Paul was paying so much attention that we feel comfortable, he took sufficient time to answer to our questions, Paul was flexible to adapt to another timetable and made us feel like a family! - All in a super funny, but always professional manner. He made a huge difference to all other tours I had before.
Big thanks also to our fabulous driver Armando, including his successful sun dances :) Armando and Paul made sure that we were not running out of fabulous surprises each day. Thanks to both of you, to the lovely group and to AJ for this unforgettable adventure.

This was the first time my husband and I visited Ecuador and did a group tour. We are so grateful that we picked Adventure journeys for this experience. This was certainly a trip of a lifetime. Our guide Paul and our bus driver Armando are amazing people. They were so friendly and patient with us all. We were blessed with amazing weather throughout the trip (as Paul says - when angels travel…). It’s so hard to list down everything we liked because we just loved it all. Hiking in the Cotopaxi NP, biking in the cloud forest, staying at Rolando’s home stay in the Amazon, climbing gushing waterfalls, white water rafting and successful and not so successful wheelies :-), spending time with indigenous people, and not to forget the numerous stops along the way to grab local delicacies. Paul is the best tour guide ever and was very accommodating of everyone’s needs. He was very funny, knowledgeable, and full of energy. We had so much fun learning about Ecuador and it’s history since he basically knows everything. We will certainly miss this beautiful country and people we met along the way who made this experience even more beautiful. Thank you Paul and Armando for everything and showing us your country with so much passion and thank you Adventure journeys for making it a memorable and smooth experience. Cheers!
Wonderful country, wonderful guide, wonderful tour

It was our first group tour and our first travel with adventure journey. It was a great experience, even better than we expected. Even though it was a group tour we have been only two participants, so we could benefit from a spontaneous and individual planning. Our tour guide Paul is a funny and highly motivated guide that wanted us to live through the whole ecuadorian experiences. His knowledge basically had no limits and no matter about which vulcano, plant or even person he could give us some precise information. Even though we saw all the great places as promised we never were close in any tourist hot spots and still had a fantastic view on all the important highlights. We came in contact to several indigenous people who were motivated to show us their way of life in Ecuador. We can definitely recommend this tour to any interested person who is ready to live through a great experience.
Fantastic tour and tour guide

We have traveled to many parts of the world and this was one of our favorite tours we've ever been on and Jorge was the best tour guide we've ever had! Our kids want to adopt him into our family! Jorge was always so positive and fun to be with. Lots of fun adventure activities with great variety! The pictures on this site represent the activities well. Our teenage kids loved it (12, 15, 17)...and so did their parents!
Thanks Jorge!!!
Thanks Jorge!!!
