      I can’t tell you enough about this amazing experience!!!We were picked up by our driver Maurice/Mauricio from Hotel Colon Quito as this was the closest pickup location for us since we were staying at a hotel In Tababela. What made this experience so amazing was our guide Irene. You can tell that she is very passionate about her job and about her country Ecuador. She is also extremely hardworking and very much accommodating. If you are concerned about an English Speaking guide, she is great or even better. Her energy level is superb. She allows for the tour to align with your interests. We started off with a stopover to view the active and inactive volcanoes from a distance. Then it was off to a breakfast at a unique Ecuadorian restaurant with a small convenience store attached to it where you can shop for clothing, snacks and much more. After that we headed to Banos de Agua santos. On the way we stopped to grab salcedo ice cream. Irene gave our tour group a breakdown of the native fruits and foods of Ecuador with the regions specific to those foods. We even stopped for sanducha ( sugar cane juice with) and to purchase fruits from a roadside stall. Irene did this just for us so as my brother and I both work in healthcare and are curious about the medicinal plants and food of each country. As she guided us through each of the stations, she even took great pictures of us that she WhatsApped to me. The driver Mauricio even came on the high swing that’s a little bit of a drive from Casa de Arbol! Irene and Mauricio were both so wonderful. We definitely recommend this tour, especially for Irene. Also, the restaurant we had for lunch was such a whimsical place with great food. I wish I could have stayed in Ecuador! Such a beautiful country and people! Also, side note I was speaking with Grace who arranges the tour and she was awesome!

      Action packed day, phenomenal tour guide!
      Megan_L, Apr 2024
      We got very lucky in getting Ernesto as a tour guide. He was punctual for our pick up time, informative throughout the tour and very funny as well! We enjoyed the car ride with him and when we all arrived he was very flexible in letting us decide what we wanted to do and all the activities were incredible! Bungee jumping, end of the world and extreme swing, and cable car rides. 6 or 7 different activities all back to back that we thoroughly enjoyed with Ernesto, highly recommend!
      Best experience ever!!
      Gordana_N, Apr 2024
      Everything was perfect, all places we visited. We liked very much the swing, the waterfall ( Devil’s cauldron). The zip line was really fun! Jessica gave us the info about every place. She was the good guide tour.
      So fun!

      This trip was amazing! Carlos was our tour guide and Jimmy was our driver. They were both beyond great. This as an adventurous tour and a long day. It was amazing, we had the greatest time from seeing beautiful waterfalls to bungee jumping off of a bridge. The bungee jumping & ziplines were not included in the price but well worth the $25. I would recommend this tour any day. We met great people on the way and will never forget this time.
      Great adventure in Baños

      The trip was very well organized and Irene was a great guide she made the entire day so much fun....I could do this all over again.
      Banos with Ernesto- fabulous!!
      Susan_F, Feb 2024
      Ernesto was my incredible guide! He made this day full of memories from trying Ecuadorian fruits and foods, to swinging at the top of the world, zip lining above lush forests and waterfalls, hiking to see an amazing Devils Cauldron waterfall and taking a cable car across a gorge river another waterfall. Ernesto’s positive attitude and enthusiasm made this a very special trip. Definitely worth the long day!
      Great trip!!
      Deborah_B, Jan 2024
      Park was beautiful and easy to get around. Beautiful setting. If you’re staying in Quito it does make for a long day (10hours). Guide was very knowledgeable..
      See the Mountains up-close While Zip-Lining
      Joe_L, Jan 2024
      The zip-line was the highlight for sure. Flying across those gorges at such a height was an incredible experience. The waterfalls were beautiful as well. Our guide, Dani, was very knowledgeable of the sights we saw and of the history of Ecuador.
      This and Cotopaxi are must dos if you are in Quito
      Jessica_H, Jan 2024
      Great trip. The swing and zip line where so much fun!!! Great day trip. Highly recommend! Guide and driver were fantastic.
      Best trip ever

      We had amazing time doing activities and our guide Irene was very helpful and knowledgeable about lot of thing. For our lunch and breakfast she explained the options.
      Banos is fun
      BOKUAI_L, Dec 2023
      Very well organized day trip from Quito. Our guide Jose and driver (?) did an excellent job for this 16hr trip. We did an amazing zipline ($25) crossing river and overseeing waterfalls, and went to an arty lunch place Meramelindo. El Pailón del Diablo waterfall is awesome. Lunch took longer than expected for a group of 10.
      Perfect trip
      wang_x, Dec 2023
      Wonderful trip,nice tour guide ! After the trip, we need to go to another place. Because of the language barrier, the tour guide bought tickets for us, took me to the station, and exhorted the station staff to solve our problems. Thank you very much.
      Day trip to Banos
      Rachel_F, Dec 2023
      Everyone should take at least a day trip to Banos when they are in Ecuador. It is very beautiful, especially the mountains.
      Absolutely Must
      David_R, Dec 2023
      We had a terrific experience and would highly recommend this tour. Our tour guide Dani and our driver Andres were excellent!
      Awesome day !
      Dana_K, Nov 2023
      Adrian and Adres were our guide and driver and they were amazing! The tour itself was so much fun I’m surprised how much stuff we were able to fit in just one day! And still felt like we got enough time to enjoy each spot. The tour was fun and we even tried some local fruits and got to do an extra ziplining activity that was amazing ! 1000/10 recommend :)
      Excellent trip. Totally recommend.
      Elizabeth_S, Nov 2023
      Efficient from booking to returning. Guide Adrian was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Especially liked the fruit tasting. A great way to learn more about Ecuador. The driver, Andres, was great - safe, friendly and made sure guests got safely back to their accommodation. Best tour I have ever been on. A long day but great value.
      Beautiful day in Banos
      AlanaJoan_F, Oct 2023
      We had such a great day on this tour. Our guide was so fun and knowledgeable and we saw so many interesting sights. It was a long day but I’d definitely recommend
      Incredible Experience to Baños
      Courtney_G, Sep 2023
      This was such a fantastic experience but first and foremost our tour guide, Irene, made it all the most special!! She ensure we were able to check everything off the bucket list and was entirely flexible! We got to try amazing local cuisines, ice cream, and completely immerse ourselves in Ecuadorian nature! ¡Chulla Vida!
      Fun tour!
      Gabby_Z, Aug 2023
      Super fun and interesting tour! You get to see some amazing places and Dani was great! The tour was all day but you learned a lot and go to see a lot of Baños!
      Poorly planned trip to Banõs
      Hannah_P, Aug 2023
      This 11 hour (approx) trip picked us up at 6:30am and we returned back to the hotel at 9:45pm. The timings of the trip were poor and the guide repeatedly told us incorrect timings - lunch was at 4pm having been picked up before all hotel breakfasts were served. There was a stop at a gas station to get food but we weren’t told how long it would be before we would be eating lunch. The first stop at the swings was nice, but cost 1 dollar for the public to enter. The second stop was zip lining which was an additional 25 dollars per person and lasted approx 1 hour 45 mins. If you did not pay to join in, you had to sit in a cafe and wait. There were many mosquitos here and we were bitten badly. The 3rd stop was a cable car across a river to a small water fall - this was approximately 5 mins without any explanations of the surrounding areas. This did not cost much for the public to pay to use. We then had lunch which was really nice but cost 15 dollars per person and you had to choose from a set menu. The final stop was a larger waterfall which again cost a couple of dollars for public entry. Here we walked to the bottom, took pictures and returned to the minibus. The trip to and from banos was between 4-5hours each way. We had gotten a 12 hour bus the day before which only cost 30 dollars, so I am struggling to understand what we paid so much for the trip. This trip is not worth 80 pounds per person. If zip lining and lunch were included, it would be worth it.
      Enjoyable
      CheeKin_C, Aug 2023
      Fantastic experience to the Devil's Cauldron and LA Casa De Arbol. The guide was knowledgeable and shared good background of the attractions visited
