I highly recommend this tour. It was a full day, started at 7am. The tour guides were punctual, welcoming and accommodating. The guides structured the day according to the activities I wanted to do and were very patient. We saw several hummingbirds during the tour but the toucans and butterflies were the highlight for me. The guide is very knowledgeable about different species of birds and knowledge of the area and environment. I was able to take my time during the activities and I did not feel rushed at all. I wanted chicken and rice for lunch, the guides took me to a nice place that specialises in rotisserie chicken which was tasty. I highly recommend this tour! Bring extra cash for the activities as they do not accept card in Mindo.
Mindo Cloud Forest Adventure

Miguel was an interesting, knowledgeable, funny guide. He was very accommodating to us. We highly recommend this private tour. It was so nice to be the only ones on the tour. The waterfall, the chocolate tour, the butterfly house and the hummingbirds were fantastic. A beautiful day in Mindo Cloud Forest. Santi was a great driver, expertly navigating the mountain roads.
Stunning

Miguel was a great guide, very knowledgeable and went above and behind. Feeding the hummingbirds was magical as well as the butterfly garden. Everything was great. He was flexible with us and even helped get a SIM card on the way back from the tour! 10/10!
Great Family Tour

The close up experience with the hummingbirds were amazing as were the views of the Pululahua and the Mindo valley from the unique cable car! Our guide accommodated all of our requests for the sights of the day and was very knowledgeable at every stop.
