Tour to Otavala - Tour was interesting and fun. The only thing I wish we would have more time on the market, but it was closing up at 3:30, and we arrived at 2:30. But that is my personal preference.

A fabulous day trip! - Our guide, Daniella, was superb. There were 8 of us: 3 from the U.S., 2 Brazilians, 2 Moroccans, and one from Singapore. Daniella set a warm and friendly mood from the start. We bonded and jointly enjoyed every single part of the tour. I’ve posted photos of each village we visited. I highly recommend this tour.

Great day trip - Great day trip from Quito! The highlight of our day was our tour guide, Alejandro. He was so knowledgeable about Ecuador. We discussed the indigenous people, music, economics, and culture. Other highlights include Cayambe and bizcochos, and the walk to Cascada Peguche. Our driver, Julio, was kind and attentive.

The Easy Bus! - Irene and John where our guide and bus driver. They answered all our questions and took extra time in places we wanted and reduced time where the group just was done. English and Spanish tour with a mix of Puerto Ricans, German, US and Ecuador on the tour. I suggest a light jacket as it can get windy on the top of the bus. Great tour and guides that made this a rememberable trip. The bus was easy on and off with reservations online or onsite. We did several different tours with them and suggest any of them for a basic low cost but high quality tour.

Very nice tour! - It was a very nice trip with interesting stops. We went to the biscuit factory, a workshop for musical instrument with a little demonstation and performance. We saw some nice viewpoints and received explanantion by two ladies about their traditional attire. The Otavalo market was nice but actually not the most interesting part for me. It had a lot of the same stuff.
