Too beautiful the experience with Pamela, she has a knack for explaining everything in a very entertaining way in both English and Spanish. We enjoyed our walk too much. Pamela always kept an eye on us, taking photographs and giving explanations to all our doubts!. I definitely recommend 100 percent taking this tour and if you can count on Pamela's guidance it would be amazing.

We had a wonderful day with Adrian, Adriana and our driver Jimmy traveling through the Andes to Otavalo. Adrian threw in some surprises for us. A beautiful local woman joined us on the van to sing in Kichwa and show us her family’s handmade goods. We stopped at a waterfall and shared our gratitude to the world. Adrian is knowledgeable and friendly and easy to spend the day with. I highly recommend!!

Worst Viator Tour I’ve been on…

The worst tour I’ve been on. Of course, there were good moments, in particular the visit to Jose the music maestro and haggling in the market. But the guide, the operator and the locations let things down. Our guide, Fernando, acted like a teenage boy in a sulk; rude, arrogant and with serious bad vibes. Despite the company car door being broken, he never held it open for the 76-year-old woman in our party. He told us, with authority, that the blue-billed ducks at the lake were called Blue-billed Ducks (they are Ruddy Ducks). And he even managed to spoil the sacred waterfall with his monologue of pollution, human fouling and community conflict. The operator itself was seriously lacking compared to every other tour I’ve booked through Viator. They didn’t message in advance or respond to my messages about pick-up the day before. There wasn’t an out-of-office hours contact number and when they did eventually respond – after I had to contact Viator’s live chat to request it – they were dismissive and unhelpful. Most of the locations we went to were eerily quiet – no shops open, no tourists and no locals – which added to feelings of unsafety Fernando and the tour company perpetrated. Such a shame. Especially when Ecuador needs, and deserves, more tourists like us.

Our driver Vince and guide Adrian were The best! Very knowledgeable we learned so much and had a great time! We were excited about going to the market but to be honest the highlights were the stops on the way and learning about the Ecuadorian people and indigenous culture. 5 Stars!

It was an incredible experience, the guide Veronica, very attentive and dedicated, strived all the time to inform, clarify and aggregate the group of people from different nationalities! The driver Manoel, very careful and patient, led us to beautiful and unavoidable places! Very worth the trip, super recommend!! GRATITUDE!
