What people love about Ecuador Andean Highlands Tours
- 11 Days around Ecuador: A Journey Through Nature and Culture
This was my first solo tour in Ecuador and it was wonderful! I was able to see Banos, Quamote, Cuenca and Quito. There's so much beauty in Ecuador.
- Ecuador Quest
It is a short but sweet week around the country, there is a great mix of destinations in the itinerary. I enjoyed going to Banos and the Amazon (secondary forest) with a group of travellers, to not only share the experience and take part in some great activities. Having the local CEO guide and transport organised also made it a hassle-free and fun adventure. G's focus on Planeterra and environment is honourable. My constructive feedback is to include breakfast in Banos as its inconvenient otherwise. Other than that, the CEO Alejo Buitron was fantastic! A great ambassador for G and Planeterra, organised and friendly with a positive spirit.

Frank was an excellent tour guide.

"Could have spent an extra day in Inislivi and removed Chugchilan. Another night in La Esperanza would be nice. Surprisingly the people in Guamote seemed cold - nice hostel but not too exciting since nothing going on that day. Loved the trip. Our own extra days at the start in Quito and at the end in Guayaquil were valuable.
