Otavalo with Daniel (MUFI TOURS) - The best!

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00After reading all the highly positive reviews we decided to go with Daniel and Mufi Tours and were very glad we did. Daniel is great! He not only showed us around Otavalo, our original goal, but showed us numerous interesting stops along the way, wonderful places we would never have known about without his expertise. In addition, he was able to personalize the tour. The best part is that Daniel is not just a guide but a part of the community: everywhere we went, the vendors and site operators knew Daniel personally which helped us find the best places and get the best services. You won't find a more personable and knowledgable guide. He seems to know everything and everyone and on top of that, he can help you find 'absolutely anything' you want.
