    We reserved this tour based on the focus of its title. Since the actual focus turned out to be zip-lining we spent a lot of time waiting. We have no difficulty with your organizing a tour focused on young people’s activities, but then title it according to its focus. We thought with the title that the focus was on the cloud forest and bird-watching which turned out to be a minor part of the day. We still enjoyed the day and don’t regret our decision to take this tour. We do want to complement our driver for giving as an excellent drive through very beautiful countryside. He operated the bus very responsibly and smoothly through challenging conditions.

    Directions to the pick up were erroneous. Was sent on a wild goose chase. Never went on the tour. Repeated attempts to communicate with the tour provider have resulted in no resolution. I'll happily amend this review if they get in touch with me. But for now, if you get told of a pick up point, ask your hotel for directions. Don't trust the info from Viator or the provider.

    We had the Mindo full day tour from Quito with David Sánchez. The whole day was enjoyable and David is an experienced, knowledgeable tour guide. And he is extremely kind and thoughtful guy, one of my friend got car sick so he took care of her and made sure if she was okay for a whole day. We really appreciate him. We learned so much about flora and fauna of Ecuador. My favorite parts were visiting the hummingbird sanctuary and Mindo chocolate local enterprise. We tasted the mixture of different flavor and percentage of chocolates. Making chocolate from cacao was so much fun. David took so much pictures and video and shared with us. He’s really good at this. ガイドのデイビッドさんが、とても温厚で親切な方でした。ミンドだけではく、原住民の文化やエクアドル全体の地理、歴史、文化に詳しく、バンの移動中に色々教えてもらいました。友人が車酔いでもどしてしまった時も車を停めてもらい、薬膳茶を入れてくれたりと、本当にお世話になりました。道中、たくさん写真、動画を撮って頂き、後日送っていただきました。大変丁寧な対応でおすすめです。

    We did the Mindo tour today and it seemed like it was their first tour as it was so unorganized. First we were told pick up time was at 610 a.m.. They picked us up directly on time, which was nice. However, we then drove around in circles for an hour as some people were late and the tour company seemed confused on how to handle it. We were essentially punished for being on time. Next, we finally got to Mindo. We did a stop for breakfast, which was nice. It was a roadside cafe. Then the guides talked to each other for about 15 - 20 minutes trying to decide how to transport us to different activities. The zip lines and chocolate factory were well run by the people there. They did a great job explaining and checking in on us. Our guide took us to the waterfalls after and wouldn't give us any time limits. We just wanted to know how much time we had and couldn't get a clear answer. After we had "lunch" at 4 PM, because of how poorly run this day was. We didn't have time for the butterfly factory either. Overall, I really recommend Mindo, but I would do it on your own or with a different company.

    Solo puedo recomendar el tour a Mindo. Vivimos muchos momentos increíbles durante un día. El viaje de Quito a Mindo es hermoso. El encuentro con los colibríes fue excepcionalmente hermoso. Nuestro guía David Sanches y también el conductor fueron muy amables, motivados y competentes.
