Unfortunately, this was my most disappointing tripadvisor experience ever. Even though the tour included transfers, the venue would not communicate with me regarding pick up/drop off. Since our hotel wasn't listed when I registered/paid, I emailed them to confirm (and followed up_, and they simply would not respond. When I contacted customer service, they also were not able to get a response. My hotel was gracious enough to reach out to them directly by phone - again, no response. Someone did arrive more than 30 minutes past the advertised pick up time. At the event another couple told us their pick up never happened so they paid for an Uber to avoid missing the show entirely.
We've attended several dinner+ show events in different Central/South American countries and those always provided dinner style seating where you were served dinner during the performance. For this show, the 7:30 show takes place completely separate from dinner. The show itself was culturally interesting, but we chose to leave at the intermission (paid for an Uber). After the first hour, we were pretty hungry and preferred to leave/eat rather than sit through another hour before the prospect of eating. Not sure where the dinner was served as the area where the performance takes place didn't appear to support meal service. Really disappointed overall.

The show ranks with the most beautiful I've ever seen in my life. The talent, colours, culture, people, music, it is amazing, worth it 100% This really opens you up to the beauty of the Andean culture right down to wishing you could be part of it. They all look so happy during the show, smiling so confidently, it is just magic. They blend the costumes, the colours with their movements so perfectly, I wish I could see it again and again. And the musicians providing the music is world class. Every single person in this has unbelievable talent. This will count as the highlight of my trip to Quito and I will never forget it. The dinner after the show takes you to a place with very friendly staff and also nice traditional Ecuadorian food, which is always important to me when I travel. This show is perfect, I would not change anything and I recommend it to anyone wanting a rich heartwarming cultural experience.
