Had an amazing time! - The private tour was everything I had hoped for; punctual, professional, lots of opportunities to ask questions and take pictures and videos, not a lot of waiting around like you generally do in large groups, good pace, never felt unsafe at any point, very friendly, and overall fun and interactive. Our tour leader Pamela arrived on time, was very knowledgeable about the history and great significance of each place we visited, patiently answered all our questions, and genuinely made sure we were comfortable and enjoying the tour from beginning to end. Visiting the Intinan Museum was my personal favourite highlight of the tour and alone worth trip to Ecuador. I am so happy for the opportunity to have seen and learned so much and thankful for an unforgettable experience!
