A definite must see experience. - This was a great experience for my wife and I. The whole day was a blast. Our guide, Moises, was the best. He provided a great history of the surrounding countryside, discussing the original people, the Inca expansion into Ecuador, through to the modern day. A great wealth of knowledge. After visiting the ruins, we went to watch and learn from several artisans, carrying on long-held crafting traditions. Lunch was great too. Highly recommend this one.

Excellent! - The visit to Ingapirca was an extraordinary experience, thanks to Wilson. His knowledge of Inca and Canari history was impressive, and he was able to convey it in a clear and exciting way. Each explanation allowed us to better understand the cultural importance of the site. In addition, he was very attentive and answered all our questions patiently. Definitely - Highly recommended!

Great day trip from Cuenca with Wilson - Ingaprica tour was very good. I signed up for the group tour, but we were the only people, so I got a private tour for the price of a group tour. They honored the price and everything was great. Our tour guide Wilson was great.Ā  He isĀ  knowledgeable, helpful and has excellent English. HeĀ picked us up at our centro hotel at 8.30 and returned about 4.30. We went to Ingaprica ruins, and a couple of villages for crafts and lots of scenic views. The crafts were interesting and the sales pitch was low pressure. The countryside is beautiful. We stopped for photos whenever I asked. Lunch was included and was good. I would recommend the tour.
