Getaway - First time we get a Guide for a lightning getaway and it won't be the last.
First we took the Guide to tell us the history and monuments of Cuenca and second has been the legends and mysteries of Cuenca.
Alejandro explained everything in the two excursions super well, we spent two hours flying. It advises you and solves your doubts in the moment.
It is a credit to this company to have a person like him be involved, responsible, friendly and friendly.
Thank you for teaching us and telling us the most hidden story of Cuenca.😍 We are learning many anecdotes and learning in a fun and enjoyable way.
We promise to come back!!

Legends of Cuenca - In the afternoon we took a legends tour of Cuenca, with Ángela. Very friendly and attentive, also with good touches of humor, taking into account everyone in the group and patience so that we could all find out about the mysteries that the city of Cuenca keeps in its streets.
Another professional who has great knowledge and knows how to transmit it in a very pleasant and relaxed way, never loses attention.
It is worth it and we will repeat other experiences they have, to continue knowing interesting things about the city.

Essential - Very interesting and entertaining tour. Angela is a magnificent host who captures all our attention and makes the two hours of the route fly by.
Cuenca changes at night and is mysterious.

Very suitable for the night after Halloween - Night view highly recommended. We really liked how Ángela presented them to us and we recommend it even for those who have not seen anything about Cuenca previously. It is very worth it, and we had a night on November 1st with "calabobos".

Bad experience - The experience was totally negative.
Not by the guide Carlos but by planning.
The free tour is overcrowded (there would be almost 60 people), you could hear almost nothing and the topic was not interesting to any of the eight who were going so we decided to abandon it.
Too bad because Cuenca is beautiful day and night.
