    We visited Ecuador in April 2025 on a family vacation with another family, and were so thrilled that we planned our trip with and through Responsible Travel Ecuador! With a group of four adults and five kids ages 7-15, it was important for us to have a fun adventure with a good mix of learning history, cultural immersion, and memorable fun. The team from Responsible Travel Ecuador delivered and exceeded our expectations! Our tour guide David was knowledgeable and flexible, and the office team (Ana, Diego, and Alejandra) worked behind the scenes to make sure our time was well-scheduled and seamlessly adjusted when weather did not cooperate or a new idea sprung up. The 8-day agenda was thoughtfully created to give us a taste of Ecuador's diverse geography, magical nature, delicious cuisine, and beautiful people! Accommodations were conveniently located and offered breathtaking views, and the entire team was very communicative before the trip and during our time in Ecuador. Responsible Travel Ecuador played a huge role in us falling in love with Ecuador and we can't wait to return! Until we do, we are telling our social circles to book quickly. :)

    Adventure is planned from a distance but implemented hands on on the day of adventure. The stellar reward we dedicated guides who delivered fun and afventure hands on in a sharing and caring fashion. Caring is the key a passion for what they can and do share. And through these guides they took responsibility for making activities happen and getting you back safely to your hotel. Guides like Carlos who have us on of the best scuba dives of our lives. Magical. There was Ramiro Chlcalza who ekpt making sure we were ok. And to be honest Horseback Riding after a few years then bicycling after a long recess, swimming seein tortoises as babies, sea kyaking in the ocean, all take away lifetime experiences. Any yes we proceeded on rapelling note like the endless descent on ladders but one got the feel. So when one shares an experience with someone who cares about showing what they have to offer it is special sharing that comes seldom in the journey of life. Getting to know guides who have sedicated a lifetime to their craft like Marco Herrera is an honor. You get what can be seen and that which is not seen oftem every bit as fastenating. Great hiking ans 0d0m0s meands something. Special. Sp multisport adventure it was but leave aside sport, a multiple experience lifetime adventure shares a gratitude of people that cared. They cared about activities, about animals and naures and about their clients the guests that were honored enough to be sharing the adventure. This is gold and never to be forgotten.

    In first a couple of days, there are some issues. I was fallen down at Lava Tunnel and my arm was hurting due to the local tour guide didn’t pay enough attention on safety in this activity. Later Diego in Santa Cruz Island and Julio in Isabela Island worked hard to keep things smoothly. I enjoyed my time in this beautiful island very much, I appreciate both Diego and Julio’s help. I also think the itinerary could be improved as there are two free days in this tour, I have to purchase other day trips to fill up these two free days.
