5.00This was a great tour. Getting to see the Ecuadorian country side was wonderful. Ximena was wonderful and very informative. The Otavalo market was amazing. We went on a Saturday when it’s even larger than normal.
Lovely Otavalo Market!

5.00This tour allowed us to see places in and near Otavalo that we would never have found on our own, in addition to being very comfortable in a private vehicle. The sensational guide! Thank you so much!

5.00My wife and I had an incredible private tour with our tour guide and driver Ximena! We embarked our comfortable car at 8 am from our hotel and started our journey to Otavalo. We stopped at different areas and viewpoints, we had pictures with the famous Alpaca, we admired the countryside and also stopped at a national park and checked the little handicraft shops. We also stopped in another city and looked for leather products. Later, we went to a small workshop, where the owners showe ld us how they create all these amazing Ecuadorian artifacts in the most traditional way! That was probably the highlight of our tour! We ended up buying some of the amazing products there! Later, we went to the Otavalo Market, where slew wondered around the shops, and Ximena was helping us with the translation and negotiations! Finally, we sat at a traditional Ecuadorian restaurant where we enjoyed our delicious food! This has been a wonderful way to explore the traditions of the indigenous people in Ecuador, their amazing handicrafts and the beautiful landscapes! We would also like to thank again Ximena for her amazing company, her stories and for extending the tour for more than two hours! Great person and professional!!
Too big !!
