The tour was customized to our family's interests and needs. Our main goals were to bring our (adult) girls to the Otavalo Saturday market and the nearby Condor Park. My husband and I had been to Otavalo, Cotacachi, and Cuicocha before and knew that they'd especially like the Condor Park. (Yes, Cuicocha Lake is very beautiful and my husband liked the leather belt he had bought in Cotacachi, but birds are higher on our girls' priority lists!) I was looking for a small, unique gift for a friend in Otavalo. Angela knew just where to find one. On the way to Otavalo, we stopped for biscochos and a tour of Quitsato, a sundial that is exactly on the equator and less touristy than the Mitad del Mundo sites typically visited by tours from Quito. It was an unexpected surprise that we all enjoyed. We were picked up from our vacation rental in Quito and returned to a hotel by the airport, so we had a lot of luggage. So, instead of their usual van, Angela and Jaime took us in a small bus. We appreciated the personalized attention and would definitely recommend Let's Go to Ecuador. (We went with family, but no young children or teens. TripAdvisor doesn't give that option for "Who was with you?")We spent two full days with Jamie and Angela- we are in love with their beautiful country and especially with THEM!

We spent two full days with Jamie and Angela- we are in love with their beautiful country and especially with THEM! The first day in Quito we took their Panoramic Quito tour (check their site directly - there are many more options than listed here and it was easier to contact them directly). It gave us a great overview of the city and hit all the sights on our must see list. Our departure day, Jamie and Angela picked us up (with luggage in tow) and we spent the day on the Otavalo tour. What a fabulous day- there was so much more to see than just the market (though Angela did a great job making certain we navigated/negotiated well there, too). At the end of the day, they were happy to drop us directly at the airport. One of our friends pulled her back and Angela help explain things to the pharmacist - we never could have managed on our own. Angela and Jamie were flawless in the details, a joy to communicate with and a totally wonderful guides to their country. My only tip is to contact them directly.Jamie and Angela are excellent hosts. We toured two days, one focused on Quito and one to Otavalo. With their help, we saw many historical and scenic sites in both places. They are friendly, informative, and know their way around.

Jamie and Angela are excellent hosts. We toured two days, one focused on Quito and one to Otavalo. With their help, we saw many historical and scenic sites in both places.

Jamie & Angela arrived promptly at our hotel to collect us as arranged and took us out for a fantastic day tour in their air conditioned car. Jamie & Angela are very friendly & knowledgeable guides who clearly love Ecuador. Our day trip was as described, plus there were a couple of delightful surprises organised for us along the way. We had a brilliant day & really appreciated a private tour which meant that the day could be organised to suit us.

Jamie and Angela were warm and friendly guides who took us a full-day tour of the Mindo cloud forest to see the amazing hummingbirds, a butterfly sanctuary, a cable car ride and hike to a waterfall and lunch at the Mindo Chocolate factory/farm. The artisan (small batch) chocolate factory had 12 varieties for us to taste.They were prompt and very knowledgeable. The SUV we rode in was like new and very comfortable. I was referred to them by friends who raved about them and they were terrific. I highly recommend them. Wear sturdy shoes for the hike. My emails were answered quickly and they offered good suggestions.hermoso. recomendable para todos. vayan y sean felicies el lugar es hermoso y la comida increible...
