Ecuadorian Andes 4-day tour!
My wife and I had an AMAZING 4-day trip in the Ecuadorian Andes. We would like to THANK Javier (the owner of the company) and our two tour guides Lincoln and Luis for this amazing trip! I have never seen such a personalized support - before, during and after the trip - before, so I want to give my special regards to Javier for this!
Before we even booked this trip - we just declared some interest - Javier offered to talk over the phone, explain the itinerary and address any question we might had. We also provided to us with great advice about what to pack, bring, wear etc. The organization of the trip was just perfect. In the morning of our first day, Lincoln came and picked us from our hotel in Quito and started a wonderful trip in the Avenue of Volcanoes. Lincoln has been a great company, a great guide and an incredible person during our trip from Quito to Riobamba. We explored/hiked Cotopaxi, Quilotoa, Banos, several other Ecuadorian towns and waterfalls, we went to local markets. He was very patient with us, addressing any wish we had about places to visit etc. All the different restaurants we went (included in the package) were amazing, the food was incredible and very big plates, and the hotels were also very nice! This trip has been a wonderful experience, as I think that the Andes/highlands is the true heart of Ecuador. Meeting all these indigenous tribes and people, wearing traditional clothing, eating in traditional taverns... great memories for the rest of our lives.
With Lincoln, we travelled until the town of Riobamba. The last day, Luis (another wonderful guide/driver) picked us from our hotel in Riobamba to Cuenca, as he knew better the places (he is a local resident), we visited the Incas ruins, we stopped in many places view points and had great discussions about the local culture of Ecuador.
I think whatever review I could make for this company and these people is very pour compared to the quality of service we received. We were and felt totally SAFE, we had amazing travel company with our guides, and Javier was the best person to help you book a trip (we booked another wonderful trip in Galapagos).
Thank you all guys!!
Galapagos Islands 4-day tour
We had a great time in Galapagos, and a big part of this was due to the Cuenca Best Tours, the company we booked this trip (we booked a 4-day tour in the Ecuadorian Andes with the same company too). Javier is the owner of this company and I admit that I have never seen such a personalized support from any other travel company. His support before, during and after our trip was just incredible. Before we booked this trip, Javier offered us to talk over the phone and go over the itinerary, explain the days/tours and address any question we may had. Galapagos is a special region in Ecuador and tour are ran by local companies only due to the regulations. However, Javier organized everything fantastically. He had one person come to the Baltra airport (just to help us with our luggage and our short trip to Santa Cruz island (you have to take a bus and small taxi boat), and then a taxi driver to the Santa Cruz island. He had a great stop to a ranch where we enjoyed our lunch and came close with the huge galapagos turtles! Later we went to our beutiful hotel. Before each day, Javier contacted us over the phone to go over the schedule for the next day, explain to us everything we needed to know, he was constantly present to translate if needed etc. He is just fantastic!
He had a great time in the islands during these 4 days, and I want to thank again many-many times for his support!!
I can't recommend Cuenca Best Tours highly enough!!
From the initial enquiry through to booking and exploring Ecuador Javier and his team have been fantastic!
The tour ensured we saw all of the highlights in the area and more. The hotels selected for us were fabulous and our guide Lincoln took us on some great hikes.
Due to unforeseen circumstances we had to finish our tour early and return to Quito but Javier was very understanding and quickly altered the arrangements, took good care of us and ensured we arrived back in Quito on time.
If you want to explore Ecuador safely, comfortably and make the best use of your time book with Cuenca Best Tours.
