Just the waterfalls were...

Just the waterfalls were spectacular. Can you please have the tour guide email the pictures he took? I had great time

Wonderful guide, management ?

SarahDuffy, May 2023

Shout out to my tour guide, Pedro, who I give 5*! He was a great guide, always communicating about what to expect, giving tidbits, and checking in to make sure everyone was having a great time and had everything you needed. He had complimentary bottled water and snacks also (I took two tours with Real Dreams and this was exclusive to Pedro) which was a really nice touch for such a long day. He gave the tour personal touches like local snacks and most importantly was really patient with me on the Manto de la Novia hike. Pro tip there - while technically I think it is a short hike distance wise as the description lists, it's extremely steep both ways, in a rainforest microclimate, and slippery after it rains. I didn't realize we'd be going on a strenuous hike and while I had sneakers, they did not have the grip of a running shoe or hiking boot and I'd recommend that you wear the right ones! The 3* review is due to the tour management. A few things happened: one, I had to reach out to them to confirm tour pickup and timing instead them being proactive. Normally I'd write that off as that's usually 50/50 but two, in the description for this tour (see attached photo) it lists "this is a private tour/activity. Only your group will participate." But this is NOT a private tour, it's a small group tour. (Hopefully this will be updated by the time you're reading this review). Which was fine, but took me by surprise and when I mentioned to management (including this photo) they were very dismissive and shut down any conversation leaving me feeling like a transaction they were done with.

Great private tour in Banos with Pedro!

Jean_C, Dec 2020

Pedro was an excellent guide for our private tour! We had a comfortable ride from our hotel in Quito to Banos with amazing stops of the waterfalls, Casa del arbol, and Pailon del Diablo. He was friendly and informative and it was definitely a great way to see Banos during our short stay in Ecuador. 100% recommend this tour!

A cidade tem uma energia especial

MANOELDINIZ_P, Jul 2019

Visitamos Banos num dia chuvoso, quando as montanhas estavam encobertas pelas nuvens. Mesmo assim, foi possível ver que se trata de um local maravilhoso, onde o contato direto com a natureza é marcante, com paisagens marcantes. O Pailon del Diablo foi o lugar que mais gostei. Trata-se de uma cascata espetacular. Destaco a energia de Banos de Água Santa, pois ali pude sentir uma energia imanente muito forte, própria dos lugares onde ocorrem coisas extraordinárias, como viagens astrais, curas e milagres. Se Deus permitir, pretendo voltar a Banos daqui a alguns anos. Apenas fiquei triste por não poder avistar o vulcão Tungurahua.

Response from Host, Jul 2019

Obrigado querido Pepi, por nos deixar o seu comentário, valorizamos muito o seu tempo. Temos o prazer de saber que você gostou da paisagem, cultura, cachoeiras, etc, durante a viagem para Baños, Lamentamos que o tempo não foi favorável e não permitiu que você observe o vulcão Tungurahua. O clima nesta temporada é claro com intervalos pesados. Ficaremos muito felizes em fazer parte do seu retorno ao Equador. Saudações
