Customer Experiences

“We are so happy we decided to come back. Truthfully I had some “you can never go home again” worries. They were completely needless. Our welcome at Jimenita was so warm and our rooms, Balcony and Cotopaxi delighted us. Daniel is a relaxed and knowledgeable guide and a pleasure to see sights with. Diego, a lovely guy, cares about his country and the environment. He listens and cares about his clients and helped us plan a trip that suited our interests and needs. Ivan was our guide with unbelievably quick eyes who worked incredibly hard day after day to share his expertise and give us great experiences. We thoroughly trust the integrity, expertise and love of birding at Ecuadorbirdstours. Fantastic” – Jenny.

“A truly wonderful tour, customised by Diego. Great guides Miguel (Western & Eastern Slopes & Limoncocha), Oscar (Amazon Basin, Yasuni); Daniel (Andes); & Yasmany (Galapagos). Diego was super responsive, always available to promptly answer queries and give helpful suggestions. The arrangements were flawless. The Lodges were good (Sacha Lodge was exceptional, wish we had spent more time there). We saw over 400 unique bird species in 23 days, plus many other mammals, reptiles, and a swag of marine life in the Galapagos. Overall a great experience we won’t forget. – George and Susan.

Highly recommended. Diego Cruz was incredibly responsive to my query and very helpful in answering questions. Ivan was great at helping find and identify birds as well as just good company. We ended the tour on the second day with a stop along the highway for great views of a Spectacled Bear and its cub. I wish I could have gone on several more of the day tours (or all of them).  – Duke.

“This was my second trip with Ecuador Birds Tours and it was another great experience. The goal was to explore deeper into the Amazon to get some new bird photos. We started at Hacienda, Antisana Condors, then worked our way east. Limoncocha and the surrounding area was filled with a great array of species, including the white-lored antpitta. From Coca, a boat ride up the Napo took me to Sacha Nampi, deep into the Amazon. Diego was responsive throughout the whole experience, as usual. I’m looking forward to a third trip with Diego and Ecuador Birds Tours! “ – Chuck Carney.

“I just returned from a birding trip to Ecuador that surpassed every expectation! Ecuador is a nature-lover’s paradise with its majestic Andean mountains and beautiful Amazon rainforest. In total, we saw over 300 species of birds. Ecuador Birds Tours did an excellent job of planning and carrying out our trip and were highly professional in every way. In addition to the amazing birds, our organizers gave us a culinary experience by serving us traditional Ecuadorian dishes each day. Thank you, Ecuador Birds Tours, for an absolutely fantastic trip. I hope to return someday! – Annie.

“We really cannot say enough about our experience with Ecuadorbirdtours. This was a wonderful experience. Diego had everything planned for our guide down to the smallest detail. On the birding side, each of our group members added over 300 life birds on the trip and over 400 birds overall in the 11 days we actually birded in equator. Enjoying the local people and their dedication to conservation. We truly hope we can visit more of the country with this amazing company in the future” Steve and Rebecca.

“I just returned from Ecuador and spent an amazing day birding with Miguel outside Quito. Ecuador Birds Tours was amazing from start to finish. Diego responded quickly to my initial inquiry and made the booking process easy. I ended up choosing the Andean Cock of the Rock, Toucans and Alambi Hummingbird Paradise day trip and could not be happier with the experience. Thank you for a great day!” – Richard.

“My 7-day custom bird photography tour with Ecuador Birds Tours last month was really exceptional! I traveled solo, and Diego was so responsive to my enquiries, wishes, and preferences regarding where I wanted to go and what I wanted to do and see. The accommodations were so picturesque and full of local color, the food was delicious, and the quantity and variety of birds was beyond my expectations. So many beautiful hummingbirds and other avian species! I took nearly 20,000 photographs in seven days! Overall, this was the best bird photography experience I’ve had in numerous international trips over the past several years. I heartily recommend Ecuador Birds Tours! – Kristin.
