Great way to spend a day

Guide Fredy Rojas was great! We went to the Mitad del Mundo which was a neat monument and area as well as the Museo Intiñan, which is where the actual equator is. The Museo Intiñan was great, the experiments on the equator were great fun. The beer tasting was fun. The nature tour was relaxing and fun.. Fredy the guide was extremely fluent in English and very knowledgeable guide. He really made the tour interesting.
FANTASTIC!!! Definitely worth doing.

My tour guide was Fredy Rojas, and he was FANTASTIC!!! He showed up early at my hotel to pick me up, his English was flawless, and he really worked to make sure that I had a great time. The Museo Intiñan, the more correct geographical equator line was great. Very fun and educational. The Mitad del Mundo monument was fun, had some nice shops and a couple of native Ecuador dance shows. Once again Fredy, thanks for a great day!! Tip, ask for Fredy as your tour guide.
I’d give it 10 stars if I could

The tour is fun. We started at the monument to the middle of the world which is beautiful then went on to the geographic center of the world where we did a few fun activities on the equator. After that we went to edge of the cloud forest to see hummingbirds and several other types of birds. We finished with a beer tasting at a local brewery. Perfect day and then we had a medical emergency with someone in our party. We had to go to the ER in Quito and our guide Carlos and driver Juan who already had a very long day drove us to the hospital and Carlos stayed with us to translate for hours. I will be forever grateful to Carlos for his generosity of spirit and time. You will be in good hands if you have an opportunity to tour with him. He is knowledgeable and friendly but most of all, an overall wonderful person.
Humming Birds and Beer YES

Michael was awesome. We booked the tour with the expectation that it would be a group, but it turned out to be private.
We were picked up on time, Michael was friendly and professional and shared lots of insights about Ecuador and Quito which was very interesting.
We first went to Alambi Reserve to view hummingbirds, WOW there were 100's and many different species, in addition we visited the coffee plantation and enjoyed a coffee with the owner and Michael
Then onto the middle of the earth (both sites). Fun tour here with a different guide, interesting to see the effects the equator has
Finally a stop at a brew pub Sinners where we enjoyed a flight of beer (not Michael as he was driving)
Everything was included including entrance fees and the beer flight, all in all a great way to end our time in Ecuador
Great Tour!
