One Tour wasn't enough I needed more! Jorge was Wonderful!

rebeccalA6078ED, 27-12-2022

I originally asked Jorge to just transport me from Quito to Mindo and back but after getting to know him we made arrangements to add a tour of Otavalo and surrounding towns and mountains. What I loved the most is the vast knowledge that Jorge was able to share with me about the culture of Ecuador and the food experience as well as plants, people, animals, and pretty much everything we came across. I am already looking into booking my next trip so that I can return and I plan on only booking tours with Jorge. I felt safe and comfortable. Like I now have a life long friend. If he was to visit Utah I would be his tour guide.

Great day trip

Great day exploring around Quito area. Went to Otavalo market, then up to a lake. Visited the sundial where the a
Equator runs through it and finally we went to a weavers workshop. The workshop was amazing. They get the raw wool, wash it, clean it, card it and then spin the thread. They only use natural substances to die the fibers before weaving in the Backstrap style from ancient times. It was incredible. Our guide Jorge was wonderful.

Fantastic day with Jorge

Jorge was great. He was communicative, on time and a good and safe driver. He extended our day-trip in order to take us everywhere we wanted to go. We had a great time visiting Ciudad Mitad del Mundo, Lugana de Mojanda, Otavalo, Cotacachi and Cayambe. We certainly got to see a lot, it was an action-packed day. We would highly recommend tours with Jorge.

Super Guide and Driver

Andre V, 25-01-2020

My sons and I spent a few days with Jorge on trips from Quito to Otavalo and a cloud forest side trip. He is a wonderful, and very careful driver. The car is immaculate and new (I forget the make) and he makes a real effort to fill you in on what you are seeing and the history of the area.

We highly recommend!

Great tour!

I had a great private tour that brought me to all the places I wanted to go. My tour guide knew I was a musician so he brought me to an instrument maker for a private tour. Then to a weaver. Fantastic! He translated when I did not understand. Really great experience!
