Adrian was very informative, knowledgeable and embraced the group's ideas and needs with a big smile. The driver (Lessandro - I'm really sorry if I spelt it wrong!) did a great job on some really tricky terrain. The hike was tough but worth it for the views amongst the clouds.

The transport worked great and we learned a lot about the country even during the drive to Cotopaxi. Alejandro told us a lot and you can tell that he has routine in what he does. I also liked the flexibility that was lived during the tour - so we could probably see more than with another team. We felt we were in good hands on the ascent and descent to Cotopaxi. Overall: It was a great tour with a great guide and driver. I would repeat them anytime. Thanks!
