A Great First Day in Ecuador with a Wonderful Guide (Luis)

5.00What a great way to spend our first day (of 14) in Ecuador and the Galapagos! Everything about our day was memorable. Our guide was Luis and he was prompt, energetic, friendly, conscientious, and very patient with our large family. Large families are sometimes challenging on tours such as this, but Luis was one of the most professional and capable guides we've ever had, especially with our visually challenged sons. We enjoyed the variety of the full day we spent with him. We enjoyed meeting an indigenous farming family and were fascinated by their simple yet contented lifestyle. They were very welcoming, and shared the flavor of their small home life with us. (Our children - 17, 17, 14, 14, 12, & 8 were close in age to theirs so they especially impacted.) Luis did a great job helping us communicate with the family, and explaining the details of their lifestyle. Then we stopped at the Toachi River Canyon - that was a surprisingly enjoyable visit. The canyon is striking with its views, and Luis again explained the history and significance of the canyon. Be careful if you visit, since the terrain can be uncertain, and the drop-offs can be intimidating, as Luis explained. Next stop: Quilotoa Crater Lake. Amazing views greeted us as we crested the trail up to the edge of the crater. It was breathtaking! Luis shared some of his own experiences with other tour groups, helping us to understand our options for hiking down to the edge of the lake. We decided to go all-in and try to make it to the bottom. We DID make it. Even though our group got a bit separated, Luis was always aware of where everyone was and made sure that everyone was well hydrated had the support that was needed - even sharing on of his own hiking poles on the trail. The views and vistas got increasingly more interesting as we descended. Even though the trail was very challenging at spots, he made sure that our boys stayed safely on track. We had a blast taking photos at the edge of the lake, but when it came time to hike back up, only our oldest son (a competitive tri-athlete!) took on the climb. To help get the rest of us out, Luis did an excellent job arranging our mule-train back up-trail out of the canyon. He made sure that everyone was comfortable and safe. We were one mule short for a portion of the trip back up, and I (Dad) had the chance to chat for quite a while 1-on-1 with Luis as we trekked out. Luis was very engaging, the conversation was wide-ranging and wonderful and it gave me a unique chance to actually get to know him, and learned how he got to be so good at what he does. When we got about 2/3 of the way out, my mule arrived - and I rode the last bit out, while Luis trailed behind on foot, never losing contact with us. I constantly remind our children that memories are made as much from the people we meet the world over, as from the sights we've had the good fortune to visit. After our climb out, we relaxed at the top with a satisfying meal, with authentic Ecuadorian cuisine. It was just what we needed to cap off the day. Luis assured that everything was arranged for maximum enjoyment. The day ended with a comfortable bus ride back, past some really excellent roadside volcano views, and a drop-off at our hotel. We stumbled out of the tour bus - exhausted but grateful and appreciative that Luis gave us a tremendous day of memories and lessons about the land, cultures, and people of Ecuador. Beginning-to-end it was a great day and Luis was one of the best tour guides we've had the chance to meet. Thank you Ecuador Best Tours. We could not recommend EBT more enthusiastically!
I won't forget this excelent experience!

5.00I already experienced Quilotoa a couple of years ago, and I decided to go there again to see with more detail the mountains and indian communities that are all over the place, and it was amazing!! I loved the food, my transportation, and Luis, my tour guide...! He was very informative and friendly. Thank you very much for everything!
Beautiful! Would Recommend!

5.00Our day tour to Quilotoa was an absolute blast! Our guide was very kind, helpful, and knowledgeable! The drive was quite enjoyable as we got to see lots of the countryside and learn more about the area. The crater itself was stunning! So beautiful and peaceful! We did the walk down to the lake and would recommend others to do as well. For those who are from low altitude regions, the hike back up may be a little challenge (high elevation and a steep hike). In total, it took about 30 minutes to walk down and about 1 hour to hike back up.
Great Service

5.00Juan was a great tour guide who knew a lot about the area. He treated us like family. We were able to see some very nice scenery and the tour included a great lunch. Poor weather limited our view of Quilatoa, but Juan was kind enough to email some of his own photos that he had taken the day before. Great service.
A day tour on the best hands!!

5.00Seeing the Quilotoa Crater Lake in person was awe-inspiring. We had a fantastic driver; Carlos, and an equally great tour guide; Andy. She gave us a real feel for being Ecuadorian. Explained the history, geographical features, and the government. Carlos stopped at a roadside stand to buy us the local fruits, and Andy explained them, as well as the local dishes. Got to try the local dishes at lunch, along with the fruits. The canyons we spectacular. Carlos and Andy truly made this a very enjoyable trip, and a special memory for us.

5.00We had a wonderful time on this tour for our last day in Ecuador (after visiting Galapagos & the Amazon). Everything was excellent! Luis was so helpful in arranging the details for our group of 6, including an airport drop off. Raul was a marvelous guide sharing both his knowledge and passion for Ecuador in general, and the highlands we visited at Quilotoa Crater. And he and his father (our driver) were very accommodating to our needs and customized things along the way with ease and grace.
Amazing!
