Top Things to do in Banos
Top 10 Private Tours in Banos, Tungurahua Province
Normally, one wouldn’t equate "relaxing spa vacation" with "hanging out near an active volcano," but if you’re up for something more exotic than facials and massages, Banos might be the perfect place for you. The thermal mineral pools here are heated by the volcano, and while there are several, offering different amenities, the easiest one to visit is Las Piscinas de la Virgen. Banos also has plenty of outdoor activities, like rafting and biking on scenic paths.

Our tour guide was terrible! He would take us to each activity and then be on his phone the whole time! Hardly interacted with us. I would totally give his name to warn others but he never even introduced himself. The activities were pretty cool, but we didn't do three of them. I feel very ripped off! One of them was due to rain, that's fine. The other things were supposed to happen at the indigenous community and just didn't happen. When we asked our tour guide he acted like he didn't know. That whole part of the tour was not impressive at all, they did not seem enthusiastic to be there. I really wish I could file a compliment about our tour guide, he should not have a job like that! And I hope to get some money back too since we didn't get to do all the activities that was on the itinerary.

I had only one afternoon in Quito to sightsee. I contacted Ecuador's Best Tour with late notice by email and Luis replied right away. Luis has a great laid back, no worries attitude and assured me he would take care of everything and pick me up at my hotel. He arrived early to pick me up. I was thrilled to visit the beautiful Church la Compania. Luis was very knowledgeable about the history of the church and architecture. Next we visited a beautiful view of the city with the statue Virgin of El Panecillo. I only had a few hours to visit and Ecuador's Best Tours really helped me make the most of my visit. I highly recommend booking this with this company and you will be lucky if Luis is your guide. His English is extraordinary and he's just a pleasant guide to be around. I have toured many places around the would and I would say Luis was one of the best guides I have encountered. I got some great photos from my visit and hope to return someday. I would certainly use Ecuador's Best Tours again.

WOW Sébastien was AMAZING. I went on the 4:30pm tour bus to the Columpio Fatasias De Volar (Ecuador's tallest swing) and to La Casa del Arbol and it was fantastic! Sébastien checked in on us, made sure we were enjoying ourselves and took great pictures of us on the Swings! Highly recommend, for a great deal too!
6. Pailon Del Diablo - Route Of The Waterfalls
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 4 reviews
The Pailón del Diablo de Baños is unique because you can see 3 waterfalls, thus demonstrating all its attributes in all their splendor. Those who get to see the waterfall say that the shape of the rock has a resemblance to a reclining face, it is because it is known as the Prince of Darkness, and from here it is that the name of Pailon del Diablo is given, to be able to appreciate this face must watch from suspension bridge.
