    I had the pleasure of working with Judith Hidrobo from Authentic Ecuador while planning my first trip to Ecuador, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. With limited time to organize everything, I truly appreciated Judith’s responsiveness, local expertise, and thoughtful suggestions for accommodations and activities. She consistently provided excellent customer service and went out of her way to make the planning process as stress-free as possible. Although I ultimately couldn’t book through her due to a tight budget, I was incredibly impressed by her professionalism and generosity with her time. Judith and Authentic Ecuador made me feel supported and at ease every step of the way. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone planning a trip to Ecuador.

    Perfect vacation. I went w friends to Quito and surrounding area including mindo , Cotopaxi and Otavalo. We stayed for 5 nights and 6 days. Our tour guide was excellent ( Linda ) helping us make the itinerary that suited us. She was available with any questions throughout. She was very accommodating and helped us with last minute changes as well. Very friendly, knowledgeable and approachable.
