Cloud Forest An Unexpected Experience

This tour included a unique experience that we really enjoyed. Getting to feed the humming birds from our hands with so many varieties was awesome. We also got to see a toucan and some agouties. At the beginning of the tour we decided to do a hike to a waterfall instead of another option to see some plants and birds. We ended the tour with chocolate &wine tasting. Andres was very knowledgeable!

Response from the operator: Thanks Zoraida for your review. Have a great time in Ecuador

A Trip Highlight

I had an absolutely wonderful tour and would highly recommend this experience. Inez was a wonderful guide who was friendly and helpful making it an extra enjoyable experience. The scenery was gorgeous and every stop was unlike any other. If you're looking for a day trip from Quito you should definitely consider this one.

Response from the operator: Thanks for your review Sarah.

An unforgettable private tour of Ecuador

I travelled through Ecuador with my two daughters on a private tour, guided by Andrés and Mateo. They were both knowledgeable, reliable, flexible and genuinely caring. They showed us the incredible variety of Ecuador, from the Andes and Cotopaxi to Baños and the Amazon. Along the way, they shared their knowledge of the country, introduced us to local food and culture, and took us to special places we would never have discovered ourselves. They also adapted the programme whenever necessary and made sure that all three of us could enjoy the trip at our own pace. When one of my daughters became ill in the jungle, everything was immediately rearranged and a doctor was waiting for us at our next accommodation. Their quick response and personal care made us feel completely safe. Andrés and Mateo were much more than guides and drivers; they felt like trusted travel companions. Thanks to their warmth, humour and love for Ecuador, our journey became truly unforgettable. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a personal and worry-free private tour of Ecuador!

Response from the operator: Thanks Casper for your review. We are very happy to know that you liked this tour.

Best day in mindo

We had a fabulous day and our guide, Andres, was so knowledgeable. We saw a ton of hummingbirds and even several toucans. Highly recommend it. He taught us a lot about the eco culture in Ecuador

Mindo Cloud Forest Guided Private Tour with Three Fees included: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quito.

How much does Mindo Cloud Forest Guided Private Tour with Three Fees included cost?

+

Prices start at $65 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 Mindo Cloud Forest Guided Private Tour with Three Fees included take?

+

Plan for about 9 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 Mindo Cloud Forest Guided Private Tour with Three Fees included worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 83 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 Mindo Cloud Forest Guided Private Tour with Three Fees included?

+

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 Mindo Cloud Forest Guided Private Tour with Three Fees included suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 5. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 9-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Mindo Cloud Forest Guided Private Tour with Three Fees included?

+

Around 29 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Mindo Cloud Forest Guided Private Tour with Three Fees included 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 tour from Quito -horseback ride and hike-NO TOURISTY way, Baños Full Day Tour from Quito Including Entrances and Activities, Gastronomic and Cultural Walking Tour of Quito with Tastings. 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.
