Tour a Quilotoa! Realizamos el tour a Quilotoa con Best Trip Ecuador y fue una excelente decisión. El lugar es hermoso, el recorrido lleno de paisajes bellos y una visita grata a la casa de don Julian, sin embargo lo mejor de este tour fue nuestra guía IRENE que con su carisma y personalidad demuestra pasión y amor por su país y por su trabajo. Irene te explica cada detalle con paciencia y dedicación, recomiendo 100% este tour.

Fantastic value! Challenging hike, but the satisfaction was worth the effort. Jessy was an amazing, knowledgeable, and very patient guide. I was fortunate to be with a great group of people, and we had a wonderful day.

Just do it! It's AMAZING! Best day ever on my trip! Jessica was out guide for 9 people on the tour and she rocked! She gave lots of details and history about Quito, Cotopaxi and the volcanoes around the area. Silvio was our driver. Kudos to his fabulous driving skills. Hiking up Cotopaxi was by far the hardest thing I have done. With hiking pokes, altitude, rain and much wind i had to stop multiple times to catch my breath and Jessica was amazing on motivating me to do it. It was a beautiful day with great views. Plus we saw over 200 wild horses, wild deer, birds native to the area and a native fox met all of us at the parking lot. Topped off with a great lunch and for me a chance to see an alpaca and Llama. I highly recommend this tour with Quito Bus Tours.

Stunning experience at Cotopaxi! Had an amazing day with Adrian as our guide.We firstly visited the cotopaxi museum and after an interesting tour we continued our trip to the vulcano. Adrian perfectly led us to the Jose Rivas Refuge and looked after everyone in the group. After reaching the top we had a hot choco and continued to descend. The views were stunning! The trip was closed by a visit to Laguna Limpiopungo and a late lunch at a nearby hacienda. Would totally recommend this trip!

Amazing Day Tour with Adrian This was a wonderful day adventure. The tour started in Quito. We have been picked up at our Hostel. They arrived at time and we didn‘t had to wait any minute.Adrian, our guide, was very knowledgeable and caring.His explanations and well-chosen stops helped everyone prepare for the hike. We stopped at the interpretation center and Adrian gave a guided tour there.Adrian led the hike on Cotopaxi and made sure every group member had measured their physical preparation and was safe in the weather and environment.He was caring about everyone during the around 1 hour hike and made breaks when we needed.The lunch stop was a cute small restaurant with tasty food!Highly recommend our tour guide Adrian (he speaks flawless English and Spanish).

Breathtaking, challenging, and great company! What an amazing experience. Very well scheduled tour with an amazing Crew! It got to a point that it didn't even matter that the weather was not on our side, because anywhere you look, will take your breath away (the altitude helps). Tour guide Jessica was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, offering us a great informative experience!

Una experiencia inolvidable Desde el inicio Verónica y el conductor, fueron muy cálidos, en el trayecto Verónica nos fue explicando todo con muchos detalles y en ambos idiomas (español e inglés) al llegar al Parque Nacional Cotopaxi la experiencia fue alucinante, el camino demanda su sacrificio y me encantó que cuando por algunas circunstancias nos quedabamos atrás ella siempre nos esperaba y nos daba ánimos igualmente nos daba tips para hacerlo más llevadero!! También cuando necesitábamos algunas fotos siempre estaba dispuesta ❤️❤️❤️Recomendado al 100% Gracias Verónica y Carlos por mostrarnos su país de una manera tan maravillosa!
