My fiancé and I had the pleasure of exploring beautiful parts of Ecuador led by the best tour expert, Edison. We were in touch before the tour to discuss places we would love to see. And Edison showed it all and more! La Casa del Arbol, Ruta de las Cascadas, La Mano de la Pachamama, Cable Car Ride, had an amazing lunch, even went denim shopping before going home! Edison treated us as family and we will definitely keep in touch with him. Thank you for making our visit to Ecuador a memorable one, Edison!

Edison is a wonderful and knowledgeable host. We were able to immerse ourselves in the culture of Ecuador. We were able to experience much of the natural diversity of Ecuador.

Awaken provided a tailored trip that was exactly what we were looking for. Combination of specific things that we wanted to do plus suggestions from the guide. It was great having local information and background.

One of the best tours I've done in Ecuador! Our guide Edison is simply the best, super friendly and funny, very well informed and very well connected. In addition to the tourist must-sees - which we of course also saw - he also took us off the beaten track to beautiful places. This allowed us to really immerse ourselves in Ecuadorian culture and experience it for ourselves. With its private shuttle service, it is also very comfortable. The car we traveled in had plenty of space. I would recommend Edison to my friends - and after our trip I would count him among them. An absolute recommendation! He leaves nothing to be desired and enables an individual tour according to the needs of the traveler. I would be happy to do it again!

My experience with Awaken was incredible! We visited Quito, Mindo, and Canoa and every part of the trip was amazing. The knowledgeable and bilingual staff made every effort to personalize each detail and make it the most memorable trip possible. I highly recommend Awaken for your visit to Ecuador and will be planning a trip back myself!

The experience with Awaken to Quito, Mindo, and Canoa was one of the most remarkable and memorable experience I have ever been a part of in my lifetime. The team was exceptionally knowledgeable, pleasant, and welcoming. The work we did in Canoa in the communities was rewarding, but would not have been possible without the exceptional translation services provided by Awaken. Between providing medical care to the community and being able to experience Ecuador's wonders was perfectly organized and balanced. The brief stop in Mindo was so exhilarating and breath taking enjoying the natural beauty while hiking and of the waterfalls. I would recommend Awaken to anyone interesting in an immersive experience of Ecuador.

Bonjour,
J’ai voyagé en Équateur en janvier avec ma fille. Nous avons été surprises et séduites par le festival de "La Diablada de Pillaro" qu'Edison nous a fait découvrir. C’est en totale sécurité et confiance que nous avons découvert un festival plein de musique, de danse, de personnages de légendes qui font partie de la résistance indigène et de l’identité culturelle, à 2 heures de Quito.
Edison a toujours été à notre écoute pour transformer un simple tour en expérience inoubliable ! Il connait l'Équateur comme sa poche c'est pourquoi je le recommande pour vivre une expérience unique partout en Équateur.
