Dennis will become a Dear Friend, not just your guide

Rating: 100%

Enjoyed the people , food, and beautiful country, was very glad that Dennis did all the driving, this is not a place to rent a car and travel on your own,you need a guide to navigate these roads, and he is the best , and very knowledgeable of his country.

What a great guide! Highly recommended to all....

Dennis is a great guide, really enthusiastic about all facets of his country. I went on a 2 week tour with him, mainly through the Andean region and I learnt such a lot about Ecuador. He is very professional but also a lot of fun.

Still In Touch With Dennis

Dennis was our tour guide in and around Quito for several days in 2002. We found him through our travel agent Elena in Quito. Our several day trips out of the city invariably turned into trips that also encompassed the evening since we would skip lunch and substitute dinner instead. Dennis was always very patient with us and very thorough. He was a great driver and since we were two women travelling alone, always made us feel safe and secure especially in Quito. We have remained in touch and if I returned to Quito, it would always be to use Dennis' services. I will also recommend him to any friends considering a trip to Ecuador.

Ecuador is a wonderful place

Got us out of a tricky situation

Rating: 100%

Dennis was absolutely, by far, the best tour guide we ever had! He was always on time, knew the shortcuts around the city, and took us to some very interesting places, as well as got us out of a potentially VERY dangerous situation (the indians and cab drivers were rioting because of the price of oil, and we had to make a quick exit out, which he did very efficiently)....we had a blast with him!

He's a great guide!

Dennis was my guide on my 2-week adventure tour of Ecuador from Nov-Dec 2004. He fulfilled his duties wonderfully by taking care of the logistics to ensure we had a worry-free time (no mean feat as this included a tricky episode when all the bus drivers were striking and we were in danger of being stranded), he gives great restaurant and nightlife recommendations (still recall our night out in Banos), and he is knowledgeable about the various flora and fauna found in the mountain and jungle hikes. But what really sets him apart from your run-of-the-mill tour guide is that he is by nature a fun, extroverted, happy go lucky person who enjoys not only dealing with people but also finding out about yourself and sharing stories about life and travel. He made our trip so much fun, and at the end of it, it really felt like we were travelling with a local native friend from Ecuador, and not a tour guide. Eric

Fabulous Ecuador

I've traveled to several Latin American countries over the years and I must say that Ecuador was one of the best; Dennis Yepes was a major factor in our experience. We were introduced to Dennis our second day in Quito and he took us on this extensive tour of the old city sites and museums. He was very informitive and we had a wonderful time. Our plans were to travel down the Avenue of the Volcanoes over the next 10 days and try to climb Chimborazo and Cotopaxi volcanoes. We approached Dennis to see if he would personally escort us on our journey. He agreed. He was the absolute best. He made sure that we stayed in comfortable lodging and that we ate good food. He took us to see sites that we would not of even know about. We were very safe and comfortable throughout the trip. His fees were very resonable. We enjoyed the trip so much that we are planning another and Dennis will be our guide. Dennis comes highly recommended. If you have any questions about my trip e-mail me at tetonmac@juno.com

My son and I had Dennis take us on a week long tour of the East side of Ecuador starting in Quito and ending in Cuenca. Dennis tailored the trip to our requirements. We wanted to start early, end late, and see as much as possible. He did a terrific job. A year later we came back for another one week tour with Dennis. This time we went to the jungle. It was a very interesting trip including a visit to a native village where we met the medicine man and his family. We enjoyed the scenery, saw a lot of birds and wildlife. We did river rafting and panned for gold. I highly recommend Yepez tours. Tom McShane tom@bimark.com

Great guide and wonderful country

We went on a short 3-day tour through the Andes, from Quito to Cuenca, with Dennis, and not only we were amazed at the beauty of the country but also very happy about Dennis' professionality and friendliness. More than two years after this tour, we're still in contact by email! Highly reccommended. Gonçalo (Portugal) and Peter (Denmark)

Ecuador is a fantastic Country! we'll be coming back next year with Guanguiltagua, because we didn't imagine this country had so much to offer...

The Company gave us an excellent service and it just cover more than we expected. His owner it's an excellent guy and he did a great job taking us around and showing some bits of this spectacular country. I highly recommend Guanguiltagua Expeditions

Very good 12-day tour by Dennis of Ecuador highlands

Rating: 75%

Overall a wonderful experience. Most Liked: * the countryside is amazing -- snow-capped mountains and deep, green pastured valleys * wonderful cross-section of highlands life and culture * Dennis helped in designing a great mix of exercise (2-day, 40+km, 1600m vertical trek; biking down Cotopaxi) and relaxation (visits to Baños and Papallacta hot springs) * Dennis was thorough, very friendly, always on time, and extremely knowledgeable about Ecuador * lodging and food was very good, especially at La Ciénega, Cuenca (la Casona) and Papallacta * Dennis adapted well to our specific travel requests. Could be improved: * we had requested a Spanish-speaking only experience, but found that English too often crept into play

Fantastic Time
