    · June 13th, 2025
    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.
