Our guide Marco was incredible! We learned so much about Ecuador and Quito on the way to and from Mundo. He was so accommodating of everything and made the day absolutely perfect! We all had a blast and got to do everything we wanted. Absolutely perfect day!
Great day trip from Quito!

We had an amazing day with Francesco as our guide in Mindo. We saw some very nice birds and butterflies, the humming birds in particular were very impressive to us. But also our visit to the forest en the chocolate making process was excellent. Francesco was a great guide, sociable and happy to provide a lot of background information on Quito, Mindo, and anything else. Definitely recommend this as a day trip from Quito!
Great tour in Mindo cloud+ Excellent guide

My friend and I had a wonderful experience with Francisco (of Andrean Roots company). He's an excellent guide (and driver, we felt very safe with his driving). We only have good feedback about him. He explained places we visited. He took the time to answer all our questions. He has a good sense of humor too. If you do this tour and can request to have him as your guide, pls do. :) Lastly, of course, the tour was excellent too. We enjoyed it.
What a great time!

We loved our trip to Mindo! It was easily one our favorite days in Ecuador. The guide was so nice and willing to tailor our experience to what ever we wanted. We stopped at the very informative museum of Intiñan, the pululahua volcano, hummingbird sanctuary (with other birds and orchids), a cable car to a waterfall hike, and lastly a chocolate tasting and tour of a very informative chocolate factory. Our guide was so knowledgeable about the history and culture of this area. He made us laugh and was extremely polite. Definitely recommended.
A Fun Day in Mindo

Francisco and Marco were my guides and I highly recommend them. They took very good care of me on the private tour and helped me select the things that I would like to do in Mindo. Francisco speaks excellent English and is great a great communicator. These guys made the day light hearted and fun. They took me to all of the things that I wanted to do in Mindo. I’ve traveled a lot, but never have done a private tour. I highly recommend it! Ask for Francisco and Marco!
