Wonderful tour and guide - Andres is a wonderful guide! He is punctual, friendly and responsive. We couldn't believe the traffic and driving conditions in and around Quito, and he navigates them expertly. We really enjoyed the stop at Cachiviro. What a beautiful spot! Andres helped us negotiate prices for our purchases at the market, as we don't speak Spanish, and even carried our purchases for us! A great day!

The best of the best - Andrès is in the top 1% of tour guides i encountered in the past many many years, and im an avid traveler who have visited more than 30 countries. He is respectful, knowledgeable, knows excellent english, and we all felt so safe with him. He is charismatic and funny and you will have the best time. If you want a chill day, have a private amazing guide, and go see wonderful riral ecuadorian sites, then this trip is for you. Enjoy!!

Amazing Otavalo Day Trip - Andrés made the tour an unforgettable experience with his knowledge of the indigenous culture and his experience at the Otavalo market. After the market we went to the most delightful local restaurant. You will not regret booking with Andrés.

An unusual and authentic place! - It was a unique experience to go around this beautiful country and see the market at Otavalo. Lots of beautiful crafts, people and things to see. Our guide was wonderful and very helpful. We discovered a nice place to have a good coffee and eat an artisanal icecream with real fruit ( it was just exquisite and 1$) and after we went for lunch in a little restaurant where we tasted local food. If you come to Quito, you need to visit Otavalo for sure.

Otavalo and surroundings with an exceptional Guide - With Andrès we did a beautiful and fun tour: San Pablo Lake, Peguche Falls and finally Otavalo, where he also accompanied us around the Point of Sale. Andrès proved to be a very professional Guide, as well as a really polite and helpful person who satisfied our every request and did not lose sight of us even a moment! He brought us the cheese cookies and coffee that we enjoyed enjoying the view of Lake San Pablo. Also, our tour ended later than the scheduled time and he made us no problem about it. Thank you Andrès!! If one day we return to Quito we will definitely call you!

Otavalo day tour - The waterfall and lake stops were very nice. The market was not a new experience. We had numerous miscommunications due to language.
