5.00Our time went by quickly as we had a highly informative guide who explained a lot about Ecuadorian culture, history, finances, etc. The stops were interactive. The guide knew the best places to get great photos.

5.00Tomas was a fantastic tour guide and is very knowledgeable. He showed me some very beautiful buildings and told me all about the history of Cuenca and also part of Ecuador’s history too. Everyone seemed to know Tomas! He was very patient. The tour went on for a long time but it was broken up nicely with coffee breaks and beers. Tomas did not rush anything. It was just myself on the tour but it was not an issue. Tomas was very easy to talk to.
Great introduction to Cuenca!

5.00We had a fantastic walking tour of Cuenca with our guide, Tomás. The tour was fun, engaging, and incredibly informative—we learned so much about both Cuenca and Ecuador along the way. Tomás was extremely knowledgeable, welcomed questions, and thoughtfully adapted the tour to focus on what we were most interested in seeing. One of the highlights was tasting some of the best coffee, chocolate, and local beer we’ve had—each stop added something special to the experience. And definitely try the soda… it was delicious! This tour was a perfect mix of history, culture, and local flavor. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting Cuenca.
Great tour, highly recommend!

5.00Thomas gave us an outstanding tour. Probably one of the top three walking tours I’ve taken and I’ve taken a lot. He took us into authentic Ecuadorian establishments that I would not have found on my own. He answered everybody’s questions about Ecuador’s history and present. He’s also just a nice guy and seemed to know everyone. Highly recommend. Annie
Excellent day!
