David was amazing! Extremely knowledgeable, fun to talk with, and took me to some local places for authentic Ecuadorian food. Cloud forest is gorgeous, and honestly, rain just added to the experience. He was so kind and willing to help when I had a tough time on some other f the steeper parts of the trail due to altitude change and post-op ankle. Tour was completely tailored to my needs and desires. Roberto, the driver, was also great - felt very safe on some very sketchy, curvy roads. Highly recommend!!!A wonderful adventure. Swimming in the Nambilla waterfalls as delightful and refreshing. The zip line/cable basket over the valley was spectacular and felt completely safe.
