Great experience
We had such a great time and are so grateful for
this experience. It was a great way to start our trip here in this amazing country of Ecuador. It is a great value as we spent the day with multiple stops including a reserve with hundreds of hummingbirds, a coffee estate with a tour and tastings as well as a chocolate shop with a tour and tastings. We learned a lot and were fed the whole day with snacks at each stop and an included lunch at a local restaurant. Thank you again to Guillermo dr...read more

Great for coffee and chocolate lovers!
Our guide Alex, and driver, Daniel, were delightful. The tour was appropriately paced, including a brief stop at the Equator, and a juice/baño/hummingbird stop midway. We learned about - and sampled - the Rumisitana artesanal coffee, which was the most delicious coffee we have ever tasted. Heck, we even drank it black and loooved it! We toured the chocolate making process at Yumbos in Mindo, sampled chocolate, and had a chocolate facial. A totally delightful experience!

What more could you want? Amazing tour!
Incredible tour and worth every penny!
Our guide, Alex, was such a knowledgable and fun guide and made the experience so enjoyable.
After 5 months of travelling, we can easily say this tour is one of the favourites we’ve done. We loved how authentic and community-focused it was, and how Takiri pick the coffee and chocolate locations carefully, so you get the chance to support local businesses as well as stuffing your face with delicious chocolate and coffee.
Thank you so much again for the...read more

Spectacular!
Our day trip out of Quito to visit the cloud forest, a hummingbird center, an organic coffee farm, and a cacao farm was spectacular! The trip was carefully and thoughtfully planned, and our driver/guide Abel was warm, knowledgeable, kind, and witty. We loved it!

Hi Grace, thank you for taking the time to write a short but wonderful review!
You're right, our Mindo Coffee & Cacao trip was designed for foodie travelers who would like to taste different flavors of chocolate and learn how to prepare the best cup of coffee while visiting the cloud forest surrounded by hummingbirds!
We're glad to know you enjoyed this experience, safe travels!

Hummingbirds, Coffee, and Chocolate… Oh My!!!
Telmo did a great job driving and even translating a little for us on this multi-stop excursion. First we stopped for some juice at Los Armadillos and watched the many different hummingbirds, which was fascinating. I’ve never seen that many different colors and sizes! Then we went to Frajares for a coffee demo, tasting, and tour. Maria Fuentes (?) was an excellent guide, and even though she only spoke Spanish and we knew very little Spanish, she made sure we understood everything and answered ou...read more
