Reviews

A deluxe tour with a nice car, a highly-educated guide, and perfect English from the guides. They don't rush you, but they have everything planned perfectly so that you have a huge number of experiences packed into one tour. Everything we ever saw on youtube about these towns outside of Cuenca, the tour included them.

I would call this the deluxe tour company in Cuenca. Everything is done for maximum safety and legality. The guides speak perfect English, are officially licensed, and have a deep personal respect for the ecology, history, and future of Ecuador. You can probably find cheaper tours, but you will miss the expert commentary of the highly-educated guides. You won't get the high reliability of this company and the excellent vehicles they use to transport you. Paying a little more for peace of mind is really a good investment in a poor country. We had a great time being shown around by someone who deeply cares about Ecuador and its conservation.

Simply the best. This was a transition trip, because we were moving from one city to another city with all of our stuff. Felipe organized transportation of people and things like a champ. We have traveled with Felipe before, and he is such a delightful, kind, and knowledgable human. While traveling with a 4 year old and 3 month, you could find him playing or watching our kids near by so we can enjoy attractions. He was a SUPER guide. Felipe took us to the nooks and crannies of Ecuador that had social impact. I'm thankful that we got to spend time with him.
