Green Adventures = World Class Service
The team at Green Adventures is truly world class! The customer service provided by Claudia in setting every adventure us was flawless and handled to perfection. Our tour guide Eddie was simply a joy to be around. His knowledge of every location we went to was top notch and his customer service and friendliness was simply amazing. After three days with him, he pretty much felt like he was a part of our family. We have been fortunate to travel a lot of places and our experiences with Green Adventures ranks them against any company in the world. We can’t wait to work with them again.

Not Reliable
I contacted David in January 2020 with the intention of taking his tour in February 2020. I was full of questions for David and several emails and several dozen questions later, David patiently responded to every inquiry I had, sometimes twice, and got back to me quickly and efficiently. However, some things didn't seem right. First was that there were two prices listed on the website. According to David there was a promotion that was happening, though there was no indication of that on the website. Then David said that I had to pay a $200 premium as a single traveler. He also told me it required 3-5 days advance notice to book the trip, but when I said I would likely be booking, David asked me for payment to be wired in full within 48 hours, over two full weeks before the trip, and said there would be no chance to cancel as it was too close to the trip date. I told David that I was interested in the tour but was not comfortable paying up front in full before the commencement of the trip. I offered to pay a deposit to hold my spot and the reservation. From that point forward, I heard from David only twice more. One email said he would get back to me, and the other, two weeks later, saying "We have been having some complications to deliver this tour and it won't be possible for us to do it for operational reasons. I apologize for the inconvenience." This seemed shady given the timing of – “I want full payment wired to me” and then when I said I wasn’t comfortable with that, he suddenly couldn’t carry out the trip. So, I wanted to give other travelers a heads up to this. I recommend getting a personal driver. The smaller hotels will have drivers at more reasonable costs, whereas the big chain hotels will also have drivers but will gouge you in price. You can plan everything yourself and pay the drivers to take you most places without much hassle.

Such an amazing experience!
Ecuador has always been somewhere I’ve wanted to visit, and it certainly didn’t disappoint! David was absolutely the most amazing guide. I don’t understand how one man can know so much about so many things, but he certainly does. I learned so much about Ecuador: History, politics, economics, ecology, shopping...honestly...David taught us so much! He was so easy to work with and tailored the trip to meet our very specific requests. The accommodations he booked in Baños were beautiful and the restaurants he chose were always delicious. He was fun and personable and we enjoyed our time more than I ever expected. He went so far above and beyond what would ever be required of a guide. I can’t recommend David and Green Mountain tours highly enough!
Response from the operator: Thank you very much Crystal W. It has been a pleasure to meet you and plan the trip for you. This tour From Quito to Baños is one of our highlights and It is great if you can recommend it. My best regards, David

Excellent guide and well-organised tour
I did the tour to Baños with Green Adventures and I am very impressed with the service provided. The tour was very well organised. It departed on time and not rushing through the tour like others did. I have David, the best guide ever. He is extremely knowledgable, friendly and big smile on his face at all times. It made you feel ease and comfortable. He patiently answered all the questions and doubts. You can see how genuine and passionate he is towards his job. It was a fun day, I visited so many nice places and learned so much about the country from him. It was like a trip with friend, I didn't feel like I was taking a tour. The service standard of this company and the guide David was way beyond my expectation. Highly recommended. Definitely I will go back to them again in future. Thanks again David for everything!
Response from the operator: Dear Melvzachi, Thank you very much for your comments and recommendation. I really appreciate it. This trip to Baños was really enjoyable for me and I hope you can come back to Ecuador and visit it again. You know where to find us and it will be my pleasure to be your guide again. Kind Regards, David

Excelente!
I would like to say special thanks to David, who organised incredible trip from Quito to Baños and back, visiting all major attractions and volcanoes! And we did it in just 2 days! So this trip was also highly efficient! Definitely recommend, if you want to explore different parts of Ecuador and to know about culture and history of this incredible country! Alexander
Response from the operator: Dear Alexander. Thanks for the comment. This is really one of our highlight tours and we were able to do it in a quick time with your group. Like you know this tour I recommended on a 3 days trip but we can customize all according to your times and availability. I hope you decide to come back for the Galapagos. Regards, David

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
From Quito To Baños: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quito.
How much does From Quito To Baños cost?
+
Prices start at $641 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Quito usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does From Quito To Baños take?
+
Plan for about 72 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Quito is not rushed.
Is From Quito To Baños worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Quito, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule From Quito To Baños?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is From Quito To Baños suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Quito To Baños?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Quito can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Quito and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Quito To Baños start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Quito within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Quito?
+
On Outty we rank every Quito experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cotopaxi Volcano full day tour with all the entrances, every day, Cotopaxi tour from Quito -horseback ride and hike-NO TOURISTY way, Baños Full Day Tour from Quito Including Entrances and Activities. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Quito?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Quito?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in From Quito To Baños?

Included: Light refreshments; 2 nights accommodation; Bottled water; National Park fees; and Hotel pickup in Quito Area. Not included: Alcoholic drinks (available to purchase); Gratuities; Souvenir photos (available to purchase); and Dinners. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

What languages is From Quito To Baños offered in?
+
