Fantastic tours with Pedro, best guide in Ecuador - We spent three unforgettable days with Pedro exploring Chimborazo, Cotopaxi, Quilotoa, and hiking Pichincha—and he was hands down the best guide we had in Ecuador. Pedro is incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about the region’s geography, geology, and volcanoes. He also brings in local history with ease, making the journey both scenic and informative. He speaks perfect English, is logical, well-educated, and very easy to be around. He was punctual, flexible, and totally tuned in to what we wanted—whether it was more photos, scenic stops, longer hikes, or just soaking it all in. When we mentioned we wanted to try cuy, he brought us to a fantastic local spot we never would’ve found on our own. The pacing was great—adjusted for altitude, plenty of breaks, and he encouraged slower hikers without rushing. His car was clean and comfortable, and he always made sure we felt safe and well taken care of. Out of the five guides we had in Ecuador, Pedro stood out as the most balanced—informative but not overwhelming, professional yet relaxed, and truly invested in making sure we had a memorable experience. Highly, highly recommend Pedro and Real Dreams Ecuador to anyone looking for a thoughtful, personalized, and unforgettable trip through the Andes.

Amazing guide; highly recommend - Pedro is amazing as a guide! We did a 4 day tour starting in Quito (pulujahua, middle of work, teleférico), then next day to Cotopaxi (hiking to Refugio and biking down), then next day Quilatoa, then final day Otavalo). Pedro knows so much about Ecuador - economics, politics, industries, history. He spoke perfect English but also spoke in Spanish to my kids who were practicing their Spanish. He took us to amazing restaurants and was a great hiker (we did tons of hiking). Loved every minute of our trip!!
