Let's Go To Mindo Cloudforest! Private Tour.

Our guide was awesome. Can't wait to return. We loved it

We used Daniel for a day trip of Quito and we're so impressed that we booked him for a second day trip in which we went to Mindo. He is very knowledgeable on everything we saw and is also just very personable. I highly recommend him.

Awesome day trip from Quito in Daniel's comfortable, brand new car. He shared lots of interesting information about Ecuador all day and I loved seeing the colibris and mariposas (hummingbirds and butterflies). We had an excellent lunch; who knew cheese soup was so good? We explored the town too and I had the best tour at a local artesan chocolate company: we learnt and practised the entire process with A LOT of tasting! All in all, a perfect day. Highly recommended.

We did the Mindo Cloud Forest Tour with Daniel and Mufi Tours. Great guide with extensive knowledge of everywhere we visited. Daniel is more than a guide, he is part of the local community and seemed to know everyone wherever we went, helping us make the best choices and get the best deals. Daniel was personable, knowledgeable and very helpful in personalizing our tour to suit our specific needs. We visited the Butterly and hummingbird sanctuaries which were very interesting. Probably best of all was the chocolate tour... something that a perfunctory chocolate factory visits turned out to be very informative and fun because Daniel helped us make such excellent choices. I also didn't think about it at the time, but I really enjoyed the friendly, no-pressure atmosphere of his tours. We've done a lot of the tours in a lot of countries and so often the cultural stops are accompanied by high pressure sales situations. Not this time. We did of course have lots of opportunities to buy things but there never felt like a push to buy things. Instead I always felt that Daniel and the people he introduced us to had a genuine interest in sharing their culture and experience with us. We enjoyed are time with Daniel so much that we also asked him to do our airport transfers... the punctuality, reliability, and friendly service made is so worth it. Go with Daniel and Mufi Tours and you won't be disappointed!

My private tour with Daniel was outstanding. He shared info, answered questions, and had so much knowledge and history of Ecuador. We talked about so many topics and the while day was just so enjoyable and amazing! The chocolate tour was so interesting, I loved it. If I come back to Ecuador, I will look for him for sure.

This was the perfect day out. Daniel’s safe driving, deep knowledge of the area and culture, and excellent English meant that we had a tour tailored to meet our needs and exceed our expectations. From feeling butterflies and hummingbirds to feeding ourselves chocolate and visiting the Equator, we had an amazing experience that we will never forget.

Daniel took us to some very cool places like the night walk and hummingbird observing center. We are vegetarian and he worked really hard to find great places for us to eat, etc. We loved him and highly recommend him.

Brilliant day. We liaised with Daniel about what we wanted to do in Quito and the Mindo area. He made a number of suggestions and gave us some very practical advice based on his good experience of guiding in the area and we agreed a brilliant day...humming birds, butterflies, orchids, chocolate factory (we weren't that keen on this initially having been on visits elsewhere but his choice was excellent- educational, lots of samples and then a really tasty chicken and chocolate lunch!). We finished off the day visiting the equator museum and monument on the way back to Quito. Daniel is able to put across information in an enthusiastic and often humorous way. He genuinely wants you to enjoy your trip with him in a way you don't often experience with local guides and he will go out of his way to give you the best experience he can. We are lucky enough to be pretty widely travelled and would throughly recommend Daneil and his MuFi travels to anyone visiting the Quito area

Butterflies, hummingbirds and a Chocolate tour. No words. Such a great experience interacting with nature. The Chocolate tour was interesting and the chocolate was very tasty. I bought multiple bags of chocolate to bring home.

I would highly recommend taking Daniel’s cloud forest tour. I was traveling with two friends and Daniel was very informative, as well as careful to give us enough time in each place to enjoy. The hummingbirds were a life memory. The rest of the trip was fascinating as well. Don’t miss this one!

If you are deciding on a tour option and guide in Ecuador, pick this one with Daniel! My husband and I traveled to Ecuador with another couple a few weeks ago and we chose this tour and had a fantastic day. Daniel is a wealth of knowledge and we learned so much while seeing Mindo Cloud Forest, the butterfly farm, Mindo Chocolate for a tour and tasting and Mitad del Mundo (the authentic one) and every stop was great! Daniel catered to what we wanted to do and managed to get us back on time to get to Mitad del Mundo before they closed at 5 (and stop for empanadas on the way home). I felt like we made a friend and would recommend Daniel for any tour in the beautiful country of Ecuador!

Daniel was very knowledgeable about Ecuadorian biodiversity, and he was always so personable. He made my experience more about the animals as I am an animal person through and through. He taught me so much about the massive amounts of plants and animals, I also taught him a thing or two about ours. But please don't miss out on this, his tours are amazing. Will definitely go with him again on a future trip.

Daniel made the whole experience personalized and honestly I couldn't ask for a better guide. The tour was a beautiful showcase of Ecuador's biodiversity and he was super knowledgeable about the animals and landscape. He was awesome, so much so I booked another excursion with him!

The tour with Daniel was amazing and planned thoroughly as described. Daniel is very dedicated and flexible personality. Could not be happier with that choice. The day was full of joy and wonderful emotions. The first stop was butterflies observation then forest hiking with waterfalls. At the last stop we were visiting chocolate factory where we had lunch. Highly recommended to take this tour with Daniel if you visiting Quito.

My family had a wonderful trip to Mindo. Daniel was incredibly knowledgeable and helped plan a perfect day. The chocolate factory was a highlight of the trip. Thanks again!

Daniel was amazing. Great historical knowledge and good at putting the history in context. Was a great guide and all the places on the tour were well with a visit .

I shared a trip with a couple from England, Daniel made us feel comfortable together all the time, it was a fun trip, a lot of learning and safe. Excellent driver and person.

Andre was on time to pick me up. He’s a great guide, knowledgeable, patient. His English is great! We had tasty breakfast and lunch made by lovely Local lady Normita in Mindo. Mindo is beautiful nature reserve, unspoiled. Chocolate testing was delicious! I would highly recommend this tour company!

Daniel was a great guide. He is very knowledgeable about the local history and culture and is very flexible, allowing us to go at our own pace and choose the attractions we wanted to see. I’d highly recommend you book Daniel for this or any other tour!

It was amazing how much we learned about Ecuador, its history and its people in such a short time, thanks to Daniel's insights and storytelling skills. He was also very accomodating and adjusted the tour exactly to our needs. The butterfly garden was very nice and we learned a lot during the chocolate tour. I am really glad we made this trip :).

Daniel is the best guide! He went above and beyond during our 3 days with him (we also did the Quito city tour, Otavalo tour, as well as airport pickup and drop off.) He even brought us local treats and provided a soundtrack of Ecuadorian music for us to listen to while we drove! First we visited a butterfly garden which was truly magical - the butterflies even land on you if you are lucky! The cloud forest was amazing - we hiked, took a cable car above the trees, and swam in waterfalls. We then had lunch at a delicious local spot where we got to know the restaurant owners and practiced our Spanish. It was truly lovely. We saw so much in one day - and for the best price available (I researched - and this is a private, customized tour for a better price than most of the group tours!) Our 3 days with Daniel were truly unforgettable. He is such a special person. Thank you Daniel!!!

Daniel is the best tour guide ever! Full of patience and knowledge, loved to travel around with him! He is very concerned about your safety and goes beyond to provide and accommodate your needs! He is also a great person to have deep conversations with and funny to be around. I recommend Daniel and Mufi tours 100%! Thank you for everything Daniel, I brought you and Ecuador with me back home!

we enjoyed the day with Daniel, good customized tour, good price, nice spots, great pictures, thank you!!

I visited Quito last June and Daniel took me and my friends to very nice places. He is very funny and he knows a lot of things from the city. He to us to a very nice place in Cumbaya called el Chaquinan. If you ever been in NY, this place is very similar to the high line, but in the forest, very nice for walking. We went to old Town Quito too. He took us to many places there, but I loved the gothic church with a nice view of the city, that was my favorite place. If you plan to visit Quito, you definitely have to contact him. Very cool guy.

The best tour guide ever! Has a lot of different options and help you making my trip cheap and local experience!

Mindo is a town that has many things to do and see, our experience was fantastic. Without a doubt, it is a place that cannot be left out of your plans. Daniel was an excellent guide with a very pleasant talk and a lot of knowledge of history.

Daniel is very nice and very interesting. he knew how to make the excursion to Mindo original and personalized. A very good time!

I had previously used guides for mountain visits, however I had not had a good experience as I felt I knew more than the Guide. But Daniel, a very friendly guy who makes sure to know all the curious facts about the places you visit as well as knowing very well the route.
