Victor and the team were great guides and we had a truly memorable experience. The hike is challenging at altitude but the team was ready to take you as far as you could go. We got lucky weather wise and took the switchbacks up and made it to base camp. Riding the bikes down was a thrill and had a great time!

This was a perfect day!! Victor was an amazing guide and everything about our day was seamless and explained thoroughly. The hike was a bit grueling if you’re not adjusted to the altitude, and he reminded us time and time again that we were all to take care of each other. His ability to create a spirit of camaraderie and the professionalism exhibited made him my favorite guide in all of Ecuador. The Cotopaxi day trip was one of my highlights and cannot be missed while in Ecuador.

We booked this day trip thru our hostel and we couldn’t recommend this tour enough! The guide, Victor, was amazing and very patient with everyone. The driver was experienced and made us feel safe while driving on bumping streets in the mountains. This tour is 10/10

We loved this trip out of Quito. The guide was wonderful. We stopped at a family restaurant in our way in for breakfast (not expected), and were happy to drink chocolate and coca to help prevent any altitude sickness. The hike was enjoyable and easy if you take your time. The bike ride was the scariest part of the whole trip- not because the road is bad, but the bikes have probably not been checked over in ten years. The bikes are ancient with v-brakes, chains falling off, shocks with no absorption, and broken brake levers. Still, it’s a fun ride down, even if it feels like an accident in the making.

We did the day trip - Cotopaxi Hike & Bike. Great day! The guides were outstanding! The bikes were not so good, but since you were just going down, they worked just fine! And the value for dollar was out of this world! Totally worth it!

This was a great day tour to experience Cotopaxi without committing to a full summit hike. The altitude did make it a little challenging but there is absolutely no rush, take your time. Also don’t feel pressure to bike down, I know how to ride a bicycle but the decline was very steep and VERY bumpy so unless you’re experienced with mountain biking it’s okay to sit it out, they let you ride the bus down. And shoutout to my tour guide, I already forgot his name but he was wonderful in helping clean and dress my knee from when I fell off the bike. They had a legit first aid kit so no worries if you hurt yourself. Knee injury aside I still enjoyed the tour!

This was one of the most physically demanding and yet fun adventures in which I have ever participated. Our guide, Stui, was fantastic. He is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and just a lot of fun to spend the day with during such a fantastic excursion.

Fantastic day out- at great value for money. We had a clear but very windy day. This meant that, although we attempted the hike us and a few others from our group, soon returned to the bus. This was no problem, the rest carried on for an hour or so to the summit.after the hike we went for a bike ride- helmets were supplied and the bikes had excellent brakes- much needed on a down hill ride. For us the 20 minute bike ride made the trip into a real amazing experience, especially after not managing to Conquer Cotopaxi. Our guide Stui was excellent. He explained everything in English and Spanish and answered all our questions and concerns. He had a very kind and gentle way about him. Breakfast was not included, but time was set aside for it, and we could have purchased breakfast for 5 dollars. Most people did. If we had known prior to going, we would have skipped breakfast at home. Lunch was included and was a basic but tasty, typical Ecuadorean menu. We are vegetarians and they catered for that. Overall a great day out- well worth every Penny.

This was the highlight of my trip to Ecuador! The hike is absolutely amazing! It's a bit challenging with the high altitude, but absolutely doable. The views you get from the hike are amazing and the mountain biking on the way down is so much fun!! Can highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves outdoor activities. We even saw wild horses!!

I did the Cotopaxi tour in a booked tour from Germany and everything was amazing. The guide and driver (Estuardo and Alex) were super knowledgeable and did. there best to make this tour fun and exciting. The hike up the mountain to the base camp was a little challenging for me because I just wasn’t acclimated to those heights yet (you’re going up to 4864m) but we were not at all pushed to move faster than we could. The bike ride is quite fun because it’s mostly just down the hill so you don’t need to worry about pedalling that much. And overall it was just a great tour. Would absolutely recommend.

This was such an amazing tour and would recommend it to anyone that has a free day in Quito! Stewie did an incredible job as our guide. He explained the history of mountain climbing, the culture and made us all feel safe and comfortable throughout the day. There were multilpe stops along the hike to ensure everyone was together and made it up safely. In one situation he even let someone use his trekking poles to help her with the decent back down since the elevation can be a bit much. This tour is in English and Spanish which is great for everyone. It was very impressive how he was able to smoothly bounce between the languages to keep everyone interacting. I highly recommend it! Thanks again Stewie for the incredible experience!

Just finished the Cotopaxi hike & bike tour with Stui. An amazing day. A challenging but rewarding hike for us as first time altitude hikers. 100% worth the effort to get to base camp! We are not usually tour group people but are so happy we booked a guided tour for this day. Our guide Stui was exceptional. So lovely, experienced, entertaining & informative. Made us feel very safe & comfortable all day. His English is perfect & he also guided for Spanish & Portuguese speakers. Very impressive, a perfect guide & a perfect day. Highly recommend!

This was a lot of fun. We had pouring rain, sleet, snow, howling winds and brilliant sunshine for our biking a d hiking. Which made for a exciting adventuous day but not over the top . The 3 guys running it were organized, competent, communicated well, and fun. They really seemed to care as witnessed by their taking personal ownership of helping one woman with a sprained ankle. The international group was good company. The lunch at the end was also good.
