What hotel is provided with the tour? Is there a room upgrade option while keeping the same itinerary? Does the room have air conditioning? Is there an option to go sand surfing? What food options are provided?

Unfortunately, the selected hotel on the itinerary doesn't have air conditioning, but for sure we can upgrade the hotel to another one that can provide it. You will have Sandboarding on day 2; this is already included. During the tour there are snacks, but I will advise them if you have a special diet, and I will tell your hotel too.

Perfect duration, activities were varied and the programming left the right amour of activity and rest/free time. Food was delicious and sights were incredible.

Overall it was an extremely well organised tour and communication with torradar staff was excellent. Occasionally driver pick-up times were changed at short notice and on one occasion the driver was 30 minutes late, so only just made the bus in time.

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.
