Best tour ever! - Pedro did a great job and was an excellent tour guide showing us all the sites in Cotopaxi and Baños in one day! He even stopped to let us try ice cream in a famous ice cream area. He provided lots of information in English for us and we enjoyed every aspect of the trip! We did a zip line in Baños and he took us to several stops including Devils Cauldron and on a cable car across the river making sure he took lots of photos of me and my friend that he airdropped to us after! Would recommend this tour!

Wonderful experience in Cotopaxi and Banos with David! - David was a wonderful tour guide! He picked us up on time at the hotel. On the way to Cotopaxi and later Banos, he explained a great number of interesting things, including of historical, cultural, and ecological nature. He drove us safely to all points on our tour, and always pointed out unexpected treasures on the way. David knew the area very well and was well connected with locals, which made it easy at every turn whether we went to a local market, or stopped for ice cream on the way, or when we arrived at the zipline place, or later at Pumamaqui restaurant for dinner. Ziplining over the river was an unforgettable experience; the waterfall at Paillon del Diablo was truly impressive, and the area with the swing at the end of the world was simply breathtaking, with many colorful flowers, blooming hydrangeas and a great variety of humming birds, Casa del Arbol is a Garden of Eden! David did an excellent job explaining the details of every aspect of our trip, and despite heavy traffic on the return journey, he stayed alert and got us home safely. We can 100% recommend this tour, and David as your tour guide.

Fantastic full day tour of Cotopaxi and Banos. - We had an amazing day on the Cotopaxi and Baños tour. Our guide, Diego was fantastic. He is very knowledgeable of the entire area and had many good stories to share. He felt like a good friend by the end of the day. Our tour lasted 13 hours, and we saw many wonderful things during that time. We were lucky with the weather and were able to see and enjoy Cotopaxi, and were able to see many other volcanos as we drove to our destinations. In Banos, we had a delicious lunch followed by four beautiful and fun stops. The final stop at the large waterfall was amazing. We are so happy we were able to experience it. I highly recommend this tour if you have the time.

Well Organized trip - The trip is very well organized. Between getting a text the day before, meet up with the driver and all the planned activities. Ricky the guide is very knowledgeable and navigated heavy traffic well. I will definitely book with Ricky again to hopefully check out some of the areas I missed on this short trip.

Do this excursion with Pedro & Jimmy! - We had an amazing day in Cotopaxi and Banos! The clouds were not the most cooperative in Cotopaxi to get the full view, but Pedro still made the trip interesting with fun facts and the history of this “young” volcano. Next a beautiful drive to Banos. I cannot say enough about this part of the adventure. The majesty of the waterfalls, especially el Pailon de Diablo! Just Wow! Do not miss this! The cable car across the river and back was absolutely thrilling. The walk up to the Tree House has beautiful views of the Andes Mountains. You literally feel like you’re on top of the world as you swing out into the clouds. Pedro and Jimmy could not have been more accommodating. On a mother daughter trip, we felt safe at all times and Pedro and Jimmy opened the door for us at every single stop. What gentleman! Thank you Pedro and Jimmy for this life memory!

Amazing Experience - My tour guide was Diego and he was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and always making sure I am enjoying myself. Although I didn't get to see the Cotopaxi volcano due to weather, Cotopaxi National Park was definitely still worth the visit. Afterwards we went to Banos and it was amazing. The swing at the end of the world, cable car ride and the Pailon del Diablo waterfall. Very impressive. Due to unforseen traffic we had to make some adjustments to the itinerary which Diego was happy to accommodate. He made sure I still get to see all the sights. It was great day. Thank you Diego for making this an unforgettable experience.
