Diana & john
Diana and I had a wonderful trip to Ecuador where we collected lots of memories of this beautiful country. Your tour did an excellent job of introducing us to the history and culture of Ecuador in addition to seeing a lot of the natural beauty and animals. We feel like there is still a lot more of Ecuador to see and we will hopefully have an opportunity to return. Your knowledge of the country (and your personality) added a lot of fun to the tour and we are glad that we could join you on this trip.

Nancy truly lives and breathes a feeling for the organism” or in this case, organisms. Her knowledge is encyclopedic or in the current age, better to say “Wikipedic” and her enthusiasm is infectious. A gifted teacher and student of science. Nancy brings nature to life.
