We did the Cuenca walking tour with Eddy. He was one of the best guides I’ve ever had in my many years of travels. His knowledge and passions about Cuenca were amazing. We learned a lot about the beautiful city. We also did the private tour so he tailored it to our interests. I really recommend and ask for Eddy if it’s possible.
