We had an amazing time on our trip in Ecuador. The hotels were perfect, providing clean places to sleep along with delivering character. All of our guides along the way were kind, punctual, and very informative. Mathias met us on the second day and checked in regularly with us. Santiago was so fun and informative on our bike tour. Alerio was wonderful. He was patient and fun and very informative. We really enjoyed our time with him.

The whole trip ran smoothly and according to plan. Thank you!

The trip was fantastic and a great day to start our time in Quito. Santiago was really fun and informative. We learned a lot about the city and chocolate.

The staff was very kind and welcoming. The food was out of this world delicious. I only wished we were able to learn more about the food preparation to have more of a cooking lesson.

Hi Kelly & Stephanie,

thanks a lot for sharing your comments (and photos) regarding your trip to Ecuador!
I was happy that finally, we were able to receive you as our guests, since your first attempt last year had to be postponed.
And I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the activities and places, so it seems the wait was worth it!
I also appreciate your comment regarding the cooking class, I will check what happened, as it was supposed to be hands-on, and not just watching (but I suppose the food was delicious nevertheless!).

Thanks again for traveling with us, it was a real pleasure having you.

I wish you all the best and always safe travels!

Best,
Mathias & the Authentic Ecuador team
