Our guide arrived promptly and introduced himself and our days events. Sebastian was a wealth of information on Ecuador present and past. He excitedly introduced The artist Guyasamin and shared many insights. The lunch he brought us to was fantastic. Finally we explored the botanic gardens where he shared more insights on plants birds and the park. We felt well taken care of. Driving in Quito is best left to experts. Sebastian was a delight to meet and an excellent ambassador to this special country.

It was just a wonderful trip!!!! The weather didn't cooperate as much as we'd like but we made the best of it and still did all the hikes. Andres was a fantastic guide!!!
Also we loved the overnight accommodations and food. 10/10 would recommend to everyone!!!

After 25 years of searching and 5 visits to the Amazon I have succeeded. I found an anaconda in the Ecuadorian jungle. A super nice experience, extraordinary guides who managed to realize the dream I had of seeing an anaconda. The lodge was incredible, super well kept and the people were super friendly.

Hi! Was great way to learn about history culture and traditions very much appreciated. I'm hoping I can get some of the seeds and spices at home - the traditional potato soup will be perfect for winter.

I want to thank Emma and her team at Original Ecuador for creating an absolutely wonderful trip for me. My guide (Jorge) in Quito did a great job showing me the city and the surroundings. He made getting from venue to venue easy and also managed to avoid any serous traffic in the city. My stay in Sani Lodge was filled with new experiences including Piranha fishing, hiking in the jungle and searching for Caiman at night. The cherry on top was the 5 days in the Galapagos with my local guide Andrea, hiking different islands in the morning, and snorkeling in bays around them in the afternoon. The sting rays, sharks, fish and the sea lions really finished the trip off on a high note. I'd give them more stars if that was an option. Kudos all round.

You can't overstate how amazing a Galapagos trip is. The Legend ship made it even better with its fantastic staff!
