Don’t pass up this trip. - Daniel was an incredible and knowledgeable guide. There were 4 in our group and our focus was birds and wildlife. Daniel did not disappoint! Mindo was unique experience; seeing many different species of hummingbirds and being about to get very close to them.

Great excursion! - Daniel was a very knowledgeable guide and was very flexible on plans. We really appreciate everything and wouldn’t change anything. We spent the morning in Mindo birding and the afternoon in the middle of the world. Daniel also took us to a chocolate maker and we got to try regional foods.

Fantastic day trip! - We had a great trip! We were lucky and were the only two people on the trip, so we were picked up from our hotel and went directly to Mindo. We had an incredible time in the cloud forest - we got to feed hummingbirds and do some hiking and bird watching! Daniel was a great tour guide and was very knowledgable. We mentioned wanting to try some coffee and chocolate since we didn't have time for a full coffee and chocolate tour, and Daniel spontaneously took us to a local cafe and mini chocolate factory where the owners gave us an impromptu tasting after we enjoyed our coffees. On the way back, we stopped for the obligatory photo op at the Mitad del mundo monument and enjoyed visiting the museum as well.

This was my first... - This was my first excursion during my stay in Ecuador, and I can’t recommend it enough! Daniel was a great guide with an incredible knowledge of the birds we saw and where to scope them out. I have never birded before, but I think this is the start of a new hobby for me! It was also great being able to stop at El Mitad Del Mundo, as we pass it on the way to and from Quito. The day felt as leisurely as I needed it to be, and I left with a huge smile on my face! Thank you!

Excellent trip to Mindo Cloud Forest area. - I had a great time birding on a private reserve in the Mindo area. Daniel, along with the owner of the reserve, did a wonderful job guiding me and helping identify the many species of birds we saw and photographed. I had a million questions about the country of Ecuador and its people, and Daniel patiently answered every one. Highly recommended!
