Great way to spend the day! - Really great tour of the sites north of Quito. The sites were really beautiful, I never felt rushed at any of the stops, and the guide shared cool facts all along the way. My advice would be to have an idea of what you want before going to the Otavalo market and the leather goods stores at Cotocachi, we did and were able to find just what we wanted (including the perfect leather jacket!) and then stumble upon fun additional things to buy. And get some bizcochos to go! So delicious!

Pedro is the best and so was the tour! - Our tour of Otavalo Market+ was great! The tour was exactly the same as the description when booking. It was only our group on the tour so we were able to be flexible and order additional bizcochos for example, or stop to get coffee. Our guide Pedro was very friendly and taught us about local plants/wildlife, mountains and volcanos, indigenous culture and language of the Otovaleños, and also recommended restaurants for us in Quito. We were picked up and dropped off directly at our hotel which was very convenient. I would recommend this tour to others visiting!

Great time - Pedro was my guide, and I had such a blast with him! It was safe, clean, and better than I planned! The shops were way more impressive than I was expecting, and Pedro gave me great tips and insights before I went. Traveling as a single woman, I felt comfortable. Pedro indulge me in all the pictures I wanted, even getting soaked himself for some great waterfall pics. He made a few stops for me at the rose fields, and for biscuits, exploring the process of how they are made and getting us samples behind the scenes. He has great connections, and the conversation flowed. Great day! Highly recommend!
