I had the most incredible time on this tour! Nathaly was a wonderful guide that made the experience so memorable, especially on my birthday. I will do the tour again when I return.

We had the most MAGICAL day trips in Quito!! A++++++++ on ALL levels!!! We loved our first full-day tour so much that we ended up booking a second full-day tour with the same company—and WOW, it did not disappoint! Our first day included a visit to the Equator, a ride on the gondola up Pichincha Volcano, and a tour of Quito’s beautiful historic quarter, where we enjoyed lunch and visited several spectacular churches. The following day, we drove about 2.5 hours outside of Quito to visit a magical Hummingbird and Butterfly sanctuary. Dozens of hummingbirds and butterflies actually landed on our hands—it was truly incredible! Then we went zip-lining before finishing the day with an amazing Cacao Tour, where we sampled artisan chocolate and learned all about how cacao is grown, harvested, and transformed into chocolate. I have already shared this tour company’s website with several friends and family members because the experience was THAT good! If you’re visiting Quito, Ecuador, and looking for the BEST DAY TOUR, I highly recommend this company. From start to finish, everything was absolutely fantastic! A++++++++ on ALL levels!!!

Alejandro made our day very enjoyable! He has much knowledge about the Quito to Cotapaxi area. It was interesting to hear he has twice climbed the glacier to the lip of the volcano. He also is good at identifying birds , flowers, and shrubs at the lagoon area. He spoke extremely fluent English that my grandchildren and I could understand. Great day to visit the volcano

We had an amazing experience on the Otavalo, Mindo, Quilotoa, and Cotopaxi tours. Everything was well organized, and each destination offered something unique and unforgettable. Our guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure everyone felt comfortable throughout the trips. The transportation was reliable, the schedules were well managed, and we appreciated learning about Ecuador’s history, culture, and natural beauty along the way. From the colorful Otavalo Market to the stunning Quilotoa Crater, the cloud forests of Mindo, and the breathtaking landscapes of Cotopaxi, every stop exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Carpediem for anyone visiting Ecuador. They offer excellent value, beautiful scenery, and a stress-free way to experience some of the country’s most iconic destinations.

We had a great tour with Lincoln. He picked me up from the hotel, we were a group of 4. We had s great pace, stopped for coffee first then headed to Cotopaxi. It was a bit chdlleging as we did the straight up trail. The wind was very strong but we fid it. I suggest thd agdnsy to provide batons for the hike. We ghdn took thd bikes to ghe laguna which was fun. Then we had a lunch. Lincoln was really helpful, explainjng everything and had a great conversation. .
