Christian organizes excellent tours for mountain biking that can accommodate the entire family and riders of very different skill levels. This allows all members of the family to have fun.... read more The van carrying the bikes is never far behind and riders that have a hard time on upward climbs can go back to the van. Christian and his team pick out excellent routes that allow one to see the beauty of Ecuador. I would highly recommend his tours as a nice alternative for a family that wants to see Ecuador but does not want to go hiking every day.

  I love Ecuador, the culture, the food, the amazing things to do, the scenery, the list goes on.

They say a tour guide can make or break a trip... read more experience, and Christian definitely made our recent trip to Ecuador one of the best trips we have done through Ecuador and probably South America if I'm honest. His passion and knowledge for his country is outstanding, he ensures everyone in the group has a great experience regardless or fitness level or experience. The itinerary was awesome, so many things to do, I especially loved the whitewater rafting and canyoning in the Amazon.

The teams coordination and professionalism meant that even if something went wrong, we had no clue, we all carried on as normal. I thoroughly enjoyed all of the restaurant recommendations and experience add on's that he was able to provide.

I highly recommend ActivExpedition, I will be booking another tour as soon as I have more vacation days 🙂

  I just got done doing the "Colombia Ultimate Journey" and it was once again amazing. I have traveled with Christian and Activexpedition a few times in the last few years... read more and have never regretted it. They always plan an active, fun, safe, amazing trip! We did a little bit of everything during this trip from biking and hiking to beach days, art, and amazing food. Their attention to support local businesses/people and in being an eco friendly company is evident in everything that is planned and carried out. Colombia is a beautiful place with beautiful, friendly people and I am so happy I had this experience with Activexpedition! I wholeheartedly recommend traveling with them for any adventure they offer and if you're looking to travel to Colombia, this is one amazingly fun adventure!

  Through our tour with Rebecca Adventure Travel, we were partnered with Christian from Activexpedition to guide us around Cotopaxi and Banos. Christian took us off the beaten path to local... read more Ecuador, and we loved it! We only wish we would’ve had more time in Banos to do rafting and kayaking. But out mountain biking, swinging, and zip lining adventure was amazing! I’d highly recommend Christian for any adventure trips you’re looking to do throughout Ecuador.

  Once again, Christian has managed to create an original, unique, and simply breath-taking tour, allowing you to mountainbike (and some sections, hike) near, on, and down (!) some of the... read more most beautiful volcanoes. While there are, for example, tours for Chimburazu, this tour is different because it combines the various (and very different) volcanoes in the area. Besides, the staff are super accomodating, and the owner Christian, an Ecuadorian, definetely knows his country and can provide you with interesting facts about nature, culture, and the food. The food provided is also excellent, and the views while enjoying the food are too. Love chocho! Finally, this tour company focusses on responsible ecotourism, which I consider a great plus.

The difficulty level is average, and I'd say doable for anyone looking for an adventure. For the more experienced mountainbikers, there are some more technical parts that allow you to show off your skills.

Gracias!

  I cannot say enough good things about the people, activities, or accommodations of the trip that I just finished! I am already planning to go back to Ecuador with... read more this company to do a mountain biking trip in a few months and then to the Galapagos after that! The customer service, organization, and communication of this company was always better than expected. The philosophy of this company was also something I also greatly appreciated (i.e experience through culture and adventure and their support for local business).

Our guide, Christian, was the best guide I've ever interacted with. He was extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of Ecuador whether it was an area we were currently in or not. Additionally, he was very professional and made accommodations for all skills levels in our group while still making sure that everyone involved had the level of challenge they wanted and ensuring a good time was had by all.

The treks themselves were amazing. The order in which they do the treks sets you up for success and acclimates you appropriately. I'd never been to Ecuador but heard it was beautiful. What I saw while trekking was far superior to "beautiful". Christian was very attentive to safety, ensured everyone was ok along the way.

I can't say enough about how pleased I was with this trip, the activities, the company, the guide, everything! I can't wait to return for some mountain biking soon!

We arrived at our destination, it was beautiful. One of the tour guides gave instructions in English and Spanish (very well spoken English both guys) and away we went. There was one tour guide at the front and one at the back(last cyclist). We made frequent stops to regroup and and away we went again.
Safety was priority with clear explanations every step of the way! The tour guides were very knowledgeable, they knew the route perfectly. Will definitely go on other tours with this company......in fact, I'm going to Cotopaxi in 2 weeks with them.
I want to thank Cesar and Christian for their professionalism..... Great job guys!!

  My daughter and I traveled with AE on the Ecuador and the Galapagos trip in May of 2022. The whole experience was outstanding and I can confidently say that Christian... read more is the best guide I have ever traveled with. Firstly, he is an extremely talented and genuinely committed professional who has found his calling and is doing this according to his personal philosophy - commitment to exploration of our planet, its preservation, providing all customers the opportunity to engage in physical activity and deep love of his country, its nature, its people and the culture and history. His English is superb and he not only guides with expertise and enthusiasm, but also conveys information on geography, history, flora and fauna, culinary variety etc. He is an avid mountain biker and kayaker, as well as hiker and explorer. He has a great sense of humor and balance. He has organized the itinerary very thoughtfully and managed as needed for each of the group members to accommodate their needs. I am hard to impress, but he certainly accomplished it. The tour itself is well planned, has a wide variety of terrain and activities planned - from the island experience in the Galapagos to mountain biking, rafting and canyoning in the Amazon. There is balance between group activity and opportunity to make your own choices for dinner or afternoon unwind. Christian is a true gem and I would otherwise prefer keeping this a secret, and yet in fairness have to acknowledge his value in gratitude and in the spirit of sharing info with the community of travelers interested in this type of experience.

  I went on a two day river kayaking trip with Activexpediton in August with my significant other and her friends. It was such a blast. The guides are extremely knowledgeable... read more about the biodiversity of the area and it felt like they were more than just guides, but buds. Considering it was our first outing of the pandemic we never once felt unsafe as they kept the group small and made sure that we were distanced at all times. The place where we camped, a local village, was just awesome and the mist that rose on the river in the evening was one of the most spectacular things I have ever seen in my life. This was my girls second tour with Activexpediton (she also did the Active Ecuador tour with them pre pandemic) and I know we both cant recommend them enough!
