Beautiful and informative tour

I had a great time on the Cotopaxi and Quilotoa day trip. Both sites are really beautiful, even despite not great weather. The tour guide Irene was really sweet, knowledgeable and funny and made the trip even better. I highly recommend.
Spectacular in every possible way!

Getting to know the other tourists was a memorable thing in such a short amount of time. This tour was spectacular in every possible way and the guide was so knowledgeable. Interpreted in English every bit of Spanish services she provided.
Wonderful tour, and tour guide! Would highly recommend this experience to anyone wanting to see parts of Ecuador!

We had a wonderful tour with Irene! Irene shared so much of her countries history and language with us (three friends) that we definitely left the tour having learned something. This tour was perfectly organized, we were picked up on time, our bus was clean, spacious and comfortable. The stops on this tour were perfectly laid out and left time to eat, experience, walk around etc. The scenery was gorgeous and breathtaking at every turn. If you’re in Ecuador this is something I would highly recommend! Tour itself and guide was just great!

I had an amazing time visiting the incredible Cotopaxi and Quilotoa! What truly made the experience unforgettable was our amazing tour guide Irene! She was so sweet, attentive and knowledgeable, she made the experience truly more memorable. If you are lucky to have her as a guide, she will instill a love for these beautiful destinations and Ecuador.
A must if you have a day to spare

Must see day tour, the views are awesome but be aware is a long ride as you will spend must of the day in the van going from one place to the other so take it into consideration, but it's more than worth it to get the experience the guide Daniel is fun and energetic and will gladly take the best pics for you. Only thing is the van was in desperate need of service, it began to choke during the ascend and it got us a bit nervous.
