Ecuadorian Culture - We felt like we were really able to soak up the Ecuadorian culture: seeing more of the beautiful country, learning about itā€™s history, enjoying the food, & witnessing artisans working their crafts. Wilson was a very knowledgeable & gracious host!

He was incredibly informative, nice, friendly and spoke great English. Ingapirca was an incredible sight, the visits to the artisans were interesting and informative, and lunch was delicious.

Outstanding tour! - Wonderful day-long tour to the ruins of Ingapirca and the towns and artisans of Gualaceo and Chordeleg! Our guide, Luis, was fantastic. He clearly loves being a tour guide and is very knowledgeable about Ecuadorian culture. He was professional and courteous with a great sense of humor. Oh, and he spoke English very well. We were also very impressed with Cuencatoursā€”wow! Questions were answered immediately, and the process from booking to pick up was very smooth. We will definitely be booking more trips with Cuencatours in the future.

An amazing adventure to ancient Ingapirca! - What an amazing day trip! Luis was the perfect tour guide and he provided us with a beautiful adventure to Ingapirca and some of the surrounding towns. Aside from his jovial and kind energy, Luis was a wealth of knowledge and we learned so much from him. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys mountain views, ancient architecture, and foreign culture! 5 šŸŒŸšŸŒŸšŸŒŸšŸŒŸšŸŒŸ
