Nancy took care to create a trip tailored just for me. The trip checked every box! I was safe, comfortable, contented as well as informed at all times. Ecuador requires flexibility which Nancy has mastered, back up plan at the ready, due to all the wonderful contacts she has developed. The places we visited were right up my alley. I requested staying in places for several days at a time, on my own to do Nature Journalling and to experience being 'in the place'. She chose great locations for me--comfortable, fed three meals a day, walking trails, nature. She was a great guide and educator on location with me. Anytime I needed help or had a question she was just a WhatsApp away. I adore her, she is an amazing human being. This is my second trip with her and will be in a group nature journal tour with her again soon.

What a wonderful trip! This was my first ever Nature Journaling trip, and I was so fortunate to be surrounding by passionate people that had tons of tips to give for Nature journaling. There was a lot of one on one time, as well as group time and solo time (which I really appreciated). This trip was on the NW coast of Costa Rica, and I’m not particularly fond of the beach—but this location was beautiful and fun, with plenty to do without being on the beach all day. There were plenty of inverts, herps, and really neat mammals, as well as my favorite—tide pools!! Lots of vegetation nearby to find bugs was a huge bonus. Despite not being a beach bum, I truly enjoyed this trip and would absolutely do it again. Also, the food was great!

My teenage son and I made this trip together, and what an absolute joy and thrill it was. Totally stress-free from start to finish, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and were enriched by both the experiences and time spent with our fellow travelers. Nancy’s meticulous attention to detail, planning out every facet of the trip so that we didn’t have to worry about a thing, was amazing. Every place we lodged, toured, and dined was superb, and she was an incredible host from start to finish, sharing her extensive knowledge of Ecuador, its beautiful people and rich culture, as well as its seemingly endless natural wonders – especially the insects, of course! This trip surpassed our very high expectations in every way, and I cannot recommend the experience with Nancy as host strongly enough. The variety of ecosystems, plants, and animals was truly remarkable, but the most extraordinary aspect of the trip for us, which I did not at all anticipate, was how much we enjoyed the companionship and camaraderie of our group of like-minded nature lovers. Since returning home, we have often missed the Amazon and all of the wonderful people with whom we shared this experience. I hope we have the opportunity to return to this magical place again someday and the good fortune to cross paths with our traveling companions in the future. Thank you for everything, Nancy! You’re the best!

The best part about this tour was that I just showed up and enjoyed myself – no stress! Seriously, I just had to pack my bags and get on a plane to Quito, Ecuador. After that, Nancy took care of everything. She and her team picked us up from the airport, checked us into the hotels, got us on the bus, plane, or boat to every location, guided us on every hike, and fed us fed us (a lot – no one goes hungry on Nancy’s tours!) for every meal. Before I arrived, I was anxious and worried about how I’d manage on the trip, but Nancy and her team made it so easy for me and the rest of my tour group. I had zero travel stress while I was with her group. I loved my time in Ecuador! On my tour, the guide team included Nancy, Dr. Isaac, and Jon. While in Waita, we also had Diego as our Amazon guide, and the lodge staff. All of them were an absolute delight, as were all other people who helped us during our travels. We had polite and skilled drivers like Ramon, our boat driver. Rita and the entire Waita Lodge staff were amazing. Diego was kind, knowledgeable, funny, and was able to spot and identify animals from hundreds of meters away. Dr. Isaac was always there, ready to take care of anything we needed, and he was also hilarious and fun to be around. Jon was very friendly, and he gave some great presentations and was fun to hang out with on the trails. Nancy was compassionate, understanding, and enthusiastic – you couldn’t help but be interested in all the cool stuff she was sharing with us. She was also very well organized and efficient. She got us everywhere on time, treated us all as individuals, and made sure we all got our moment in the spotlight. She even gave me extra time at the frog park to make sure I found all the little critters I was looking for. Everyone in our group became friends, and I think it was because of Nancy's kind heart and her excellent skills as a tour guide! 10 out of 10 😊 – highly recommend!

EvoTour 2025 exceeded all our expectations. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience we hope to be lucky enough to repeat one day. Nancy, Jon, and their team did an excellent job at keeping us safe and engaged. We saw so many birds, insects, mammals, fish, reptiles, and amphibians in their natural habitat that it felt like living inside a nature documentary. The accommodations were comfortable, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was fun and supportive. They managed to accommodate our food restrictions even in the thick of the jungle, and the doctor who traveled with us addressed any concerns kindly and professionally. We couldn't recommend it more - everyone should do it if they can. There's no better way to learn about the incredible diversity of the Amazon rainforest. A definite 10 out of 10!
