2.00Guide service requested I wait outside on the street then arrived an hour and ten minutes late. They stated traffic issue but why would you ever request a client to wait in the street?
First was a look out point of the city! Then we travelled 1.5 hours to Ingapirca, had lunch then a city tour of Cuenca!

5.00We had the best time on our private tour to Ingapirca and the city of Cuenca with Polylepis Tours! Diego was amazing! So knowledgeable and friendly. His English was perfect and he is easy to understand. We only had one full day in Cuenca and he was the perfect guide to make us feel like we saw everything we HAD to see in one day but made us want to stay longer to see even more. If we could only spend one day again, we would spend it with Diego!
Biblen and Ingapirca in all their splendor 👏🏼

5.00We did a private tour with Edi. We were very attentive to our individual wishes. Already on the drive to Ingapirca we were told many exciting stories. The information provided us with huge added value and we would do such a tour again at any time.

5.00Diego was a great tour guide who was super knowledgeable about the history of Cuenca and Ingapirca! He also knew a lot about Ecuador in general, and was able to give insights on native plants, etc. Very fun and interesting!

5.00The tour allowed us to get a sense of old Cuenca and hit highlights Diego personalized it for us with extra stops like going into an art studio and stopped so I could take photos of the soil. He was informative and generous of spirit. He recommended a specific shop that I wanted to visit and dropped us near it. I was a little disappointed we didn’t visit the hat factory, but the day was wonderful regardless He’s an outstanding and considerate driver as well and was excited to share his knowledge with us at all of the places we visited.
Best tour ever!

5.00We toured Inga Pirca and the city of Cuenca with our tour guide Eddie. He was a treasure trove of information, he had dates and facts memorized perfectly. He was so knowledgeable on facts about the Incas and many other civilizations of the past. He spoke perfect English which was great because our Spanish isn't so good. You could tell Eddie was passionate about the history of Ecuador and beyond. He is the best tour guide we have ever had! If you want to see Inga Pirca and Cuenca book this tour, you will not regret it!
