We bought ferry tickets on Galapagos through bm to secure a place on the ferry for the specific day and time. Nevertheless, we experienced not being listed on the lists for the ferry, and that it was rather luck that there were a few free places left. When we called for help we got no answer. These tickets only created stress and problems. They have also not answered our request afterwards. Stay away, and instead buy directly from the ferry companies. It is both cheaper and easier.

This tour is a MUST DO if you care about ecology amd want to know more about plants, insects, and animals in Ecuador and how they create a sustainable biosphere. Our guide and teacher, Eddie, brings incredible knowledge and passion about Ecuadorian ecology to life. I learned more about symbiosis, even in my own country, than all the botany courses had taught me.

Our tour guide was the best, thank you Jaime, for an amazing day! We learn so much about Ecuador and all it has to offer.

This was an amazing trip. My friend and I had such a great time. The canoe ride on the river, then off to the forest and see howler monkey's and the cacao farm was just great!!. Lunch was wonderful. All the guides were the best and were so knowledgeable. And wonderful to be with for the day. Do not miss this trip. Lisa RN.

Historical and cultural tour walking tour, with a little stair climb at the end. My guide Tony, picked me up on time and was so professional. He was loaded with so much information and good travel tips. Saw so many interesting landmarks, it was fantastic. Thank you Antonio and BM Tours. Recommend

Fantastic day trip out of the city. Jaime was such a professional and interesting guide. Everything perfect, pickup up on time, and we hit all the high points. Lunch at the end, with local dishes was a nice touch. Thank you Jaime and BM Tours.

James was an exceptional guide! The farm was beautiful and we learned so much about the chocolate making process. The lunch served at the "castle" was amazing! I highly recommend this experience!

A wonderful way to learn about and explore Ecuador/Guayaquil. Our guides were knowledgeable, friendly and infinitely patient with our group of 7. Our tour covered the dry jungle where we saw howler monkeys (and dodged mosquitos in our mosquito nets and DEET), mangroves (on a long, canoe-like boat) where we saw a multitude of bird and other wildlife, and a visit to a working Cocoa farm/ranch where we learned all about growing, refining and finishing chocolate. The lunch served at the Cocoa farm was fantastic local fare, including a ceviche to die for! Highly recommended.

Jaime was an incredible guide and he took extra time when we had questions. This was our first tour in ecuador and he really made it special! The cacao farm was amazing and we got to try fresh chocolate with raw sugar and it is my new favorite way to eat it! Thank you for an amazing tour!

The staff was very accommodating and helpful. They were very concerned about our safety. The lunch was decent and plentiful. The tour operator included snorkeling equipment and wetsuits which many of the other agencies charge extra for. Our only complaint was the office was closed when we went back to return our equipment?. Still would recommend and be sure to pack your sunscreen.

My wife and I joined Jaime Bolaños for a trip from our hotel in Guayaquil to the farm. Jaime was quite informational about Ecuador and the surrounding area on the trip out there. Once we got to the farm, we saw cacao plants and how to extract the cocoa beans went through the whole process of eventually making our own chocolate bars. We then had a delightful lunch on site. The whole adventure was a wonderful day. Jaime Bolaños made it much more enjoyable with his discussion going and coming. I recommend that Jaime. Ask for Jaime to take you.

Wonderful experience! Hymie, our tour guide, was outstanding and made us feel safe and well cared for in our first venture to Guayaquil. Our river/forest guide Carlos did a great job spotting wildlife. Hacienda Cacao Y Mango was delightful and so enjoyed Jamal our guide, the delicious lunch and the emersion chocolate experience. Have already raved about the tour and recommended to friends. Would have liked more detailed info about the tour upfront but so glad we went.

The meal provided was local and delicious. During COVID the family learned how to make recipes and new uses for their chocolate. They’ve done an incredible job and it was so fun seeing all the beautiful plants and learning about cacao and chocolate making.

We saw numerous birds on the river and then a family of howler monkeys in the jungle. The visit to the Cocoa farm was great and informative and Jamie was and excellent guide.

The people, the places, the food, the day. All was great. Only hitch was communication on pickup. We thought it was an hour later than tour thought. Uh oh we almost missed out
