Our guide/driver spoke English. I can't overemphasize how important this is. He was also friendly, helpful, and extremely well-informed. The stop at the demonstration of native textile handcrafting was annoyingly long, but the rest of the trip was fine. On another trip, we will try to go with a larger group, and maybe also bring a folding stool for a place to sit and read while waiting for things to get interesting. If this seems harsh or unfair, it's probably because I'm not a natural tourist; I was dragged along by my wife, who says she had a great time.

Luis was an excellent guide. He provided us with great knowledge and insights into Ecuadorian life, making this a trip that will always be remembered

Great trip! Very friendly guide!

We had a great time. Guides were knowledgeable and helpful. Enjoyed the hiking. Accommodations were nice.

If you take only one tour out of Cuenca, take this one. We saw lots of the surrounding area, learned a great deal about both history and present day Ecuador. We saw Ingapirca and modern towns with rich history and traditions. The artists we met who practice ancient weaving techniques d3monstrated their whole process. Our guide Diego is a knowledgeable passionate teacher so we were immersed in understanding, more than we could have gained from a book or an Internet search. The planning and execution of the tour made sure we were well take care of for the whole day.
