Highly recommend! - Wilson our tour guide was amazing! His English was exceptional and the tour was thorough and very enjoyable. They arrived at our hotel on time and dropped us off after a full day. The included meal was delicious and there was an added stop for a traditional Ecuadorian beverage. The driver Jimmy was very friendly and safe in the crazy traffic of Ecuador. We highly recommend Cuenca Bestours tours and the price was reasonable for the full day of sightseeing.
