Activities tickets and lunch are included, so you don't have to do anything but relax and enjoy the day. the car was clean and comfortable.

Me and my girlfriend booked the trip to Baños the 30th of december and it was an absolutely amazing day. Stunning views from the viewpoint and at the waterfall, really nice lunch in Baños and an incredible guide. Our guide Andrew had alot of information about the places we went and of Ecuador in general. On the way back we stopped for ice cream. 10/10 experience and I would recommend it for everyone.

Well organised and friendly tour guide and driver. We saw a lot of things even though the journey back was long. It was still smooth and easy going regardless. The waterfalls was impressive. And it was a fun packed adventure. Highly recommend if your short on time in Ecuador and wanna visit some of the highlights of Banos

Heaps of fun! Quick and enjoyable. Would definitely recommend for someone looking for a shorter activity to do than a full day. Lots of fun and very easy to follow instructions.

Good guide, lots of information given and well organized, highly recommended A bit expensive
