    It was a memorable trip for us. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Ecuador & left with very good memories. All the guides & vehicles were great. Just one feedback for improvement ... accommodation in Quito (Yellow House) was a bit sub-standard (room housekeeping wasn't done at all during our first stay of 4 nights) ... I would avoid Yellow House in the future! Accommodation as well as breakfast in Banos was very good.

    Ecuador is one of the most beautiful countries that I have visited. Its landscape is gorgeous. Its people are friendly and honest. The country is affordable. The food is delicious. The tour was fun! The local tour guides were extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the country. The experiences were varied. We visited cities, parks, churches, mountains, restaurants, ruins, markets, and even a school. It was very fun. The tour was organized well by Jeferson. He made sure all my questions were answered before and during the trip. He was always available day and night. Airport pickups and drop offs were very helpful as well. Give Ecuador a chance. You will not regret it. Responsible Travel will take care of you.
