    This was a great trip with Jorge as our guide. The places we stayed at were quite nice and unique. The food was delicious. The hikes and the views were amazing although sometimes a challenge ( for me) . I would definitely book with Adventure Journeys again.

    I am incredibly grateful to Adventure Journeys for organising this tour. It turned out to be a one-person group, and I was a little bummed at first, but my guide Jorge managed to make it feel like home here in Ecuador. The places we went to were incredible (majestic Chimborazo is now forever in my heart), food was amazing, and I was awestruck by accommodation every time. And due to the mobility of our small group we went to see much more than was expected. If I come back to Ecuador, I will definitely resort to AJ services once more.

    This review is 5-stars because of David. He knew every corner store owner, reputable restaurant, street doggo, hiking trail and survival tip needed (or not) on the trip. His expertise surpassed every other guide I’ve toured with and then some. I’ve traveled to 31 countries and lived abroad 4 times but have rarely come across someone so knowledgeable and passionate about their country and of sharing their home with others. The accommodations were charming with very comfortable and welcoming amenities especially when it came to the service and food. I’ve done everything from 7-day safaris sleeping in the dirt to 5-star luxury trips so I’ve seen it all. You’ll be cozy, clean and have a comfortably full belly after each day’s journey. Please be a humble and responsible traveler if you decide to take a tour through Ecuador, especially if it’s with David. The hospitality, the professionalism and the enthusiasm of the people you will encounter along this trip deserve at least that (and a ton of thanks). Safe travels and yes, this is the tour to take.

    A great tour with a fair amount of trekking (beware the altitude!) but enormously rewarding! The included accommodation and meals were all top notch so overall an excellent trip!

    Fantastic way to explore Ecuador’s nature. The trekking was excellent and every day felt different. Christian was our guide and he did a great job at introducing us to this beautiful country and its culture and people. I traveled alone and immediately felt comfortable and welcomed by everyone in the group. Lovely people and a unique experience that I would recommend to any newcomer to this country!

    Just what I wanted! We saw the tree by volcanoes, Fatima set a good pass for hiking days and the packed lunches were more than enough food. Food was as usual in Ecuador and accomodation was great! Fatima was an excellent guide, she was always telling us about the area and answering our questions. Would definitely recommend this to anyone who want to hike Quilitoa and have a blast!!
