Hummingbirds of Mindo cloud forest - All the hummingbirds were outstanding!! So much beautiful scenery to all the conservation areas. Our young guide was so knowledgeable and showed us so many that we wouldn’t have been able to find without his sharp eye! Definitely recommend to go on this tour. Our lunch was great with lots of bird feeders right where we were sitting! What a view❤️

Top drawer birding! - This was my second birding trip with Daniel this year and both were exceptional! He knows the best birding spots and his ability to spot and identify the birds is top drawer. I highly recommend him for a wonderful experience.

Amazing Ecuadorian Birding Experience - Daniel Suarez did a great job in assuring that I saw an amazing number of new life list birds at 3 different locations. He was very knowledgeable and a gentleman. I can recommend him without any hesitation.

Beautiful snow - We travel with my family and nephews. It was the first time I knew the snow. We made a doll and walked to the shelter. It was a magical journey

Viator communication problem - The local guide was great, but Viator failed to tell him that the hotel for pickup had changed, so there was a delay in him finding me. The phone numbers Viator provided for the local guide company & the Viator numbers were wrong, so that added to the confusion & delay. That said, the local tour guide was very knowledgeable and the excursion was very worthwhile. I did not give 5 stars just because of Viator’s failure. The local guide did a 5 star job.
