I planned on three days in Quito after a Galapagos cruise. Since I was going to be alone, I booked with EQ and found Katie so helpful. I wanted a private guide for all 3 day who would also be my driver. Andrew, the first day in Old Town and the equator, and then Paul the next two to Otalavo... More

We were checking through several agents but decided on EQ Touring as many agencies do not take you to the refuge for Cotopaxi tours. We booked the Cotopaxi tour and Quito with Middle of the Earth tour for 2 days. Our guide Marco is prompt and is knowledgeable as well as flexible. We had an amazing time with fabulous photos...

Outstanding..our guide, Marco Castro, introduced us to an Ecuador we fell in love with! From arrival to accommodations to a beautiful culture and people. Marco pampered us with care, intelligence, humor and professionalism. He showed us the beautiful Ecuadorian way of life. EQ Touring planned a perfect itinerary for our budget and curiosity. We enjoyed abundant, delicious local fruits and... More

We chartered a cruise on board the Queen of Galapagos through EQ touring a few months ago and we had the most amazing experience. Beginning with our arrival to Quito we were met by our private guide who took us to the hotel that was reserved for us. The Le Parc hotel was really nice and comfortable, service was superb... More

We had a the opportunity to spend a couple of days in Otavalo (horseback riding, shopping at the market, hiking) and in Quito (sightseeing, equator tour and white water rafting). We just loved the country and people - only wished we had more time to go into the jungle and Galapagos. We will definitely be back soon! More

We had a fabulous 10 day trip with EQ Touring - Hotels, ship and eco-lodge were spacious, comfortable - great food. The guides and naturalists were superb. Most impressive was the travel between sites, on time, efficient and safe. I would highly recommend EQ Touring to arrange travel anywhere in Equador. More

After 2 months of hitting dead ends trying to plan this trip myself, I turned to EQ touring to plan my Ecuador and Galapagos vacation for myself, husband, and two children, ages 5 and 7. Within two days, Katie had my trip tailored perfectly. There was excellent communication (she is American working out of the Quito office) and I never... More

My wife and I did a week tour with EQ, including a 5 day/4 night Galapagos catamaran trip. EQ were just so professional. Everything they did was great. Organising, communications via email prior to departure, car transfers, drivers were always very professional and had our safety and interests as their main attention. We also got a last minute tour of... More
