Excellent customer service

Bruce_C, Feb 2025
Viator has a US help number where someone I can understand actually answers. When my driver was late Viator contacted him, got me an ETA, and offered to check me into my flight (I was in Ecuador at the time) Super helpful and available!

Hold on

Denise_H, Jan 2023
I arrived at my destination as planned; however, the guide drove like a NASCAR driver. He passed other vehicles under unsafe circumstances that made me scared for my safety.

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Dear Denise, thank you for your feedback. I am sorry you felt unsafe. However, I need to mention that our drivers are safe drivers, we have been getting people around more than 6 years successfully. Maybe driving the the curvy narrow roads and fog made you feel like that, but that is the way it is unfortunately and our drivers are experienced and used to that. Our drivers drive always under the speed limits since all vehicles have radar and are monitored permanently. I apologize again for the inconvenience and we hope you have a great Ecuador trip.

All went well. Nice driver.

We arrived home safely. It was a beautiful day and the scenery through the Cajas mountain range was spectacular.

Great service- A must to use

ELIAS_C, Jan 2022
Steven, the driver, was absolutely excellent. We talked about music and singers from my country and played some of my favorite songs the whole trip, which I enjoyed very much. He even stopped so I could take pictures and appreciate the beautiful mountain view from Cuenca. I had a great experience.

Awesome trip!

Excellent driver skill over difficult road. New clean vehicle. Driver spoke little English, but was otherwise friendly and helpful.

Trip ok, communication bad

Robert_W, Jan 2020
The trip itself was good. Bad roads, two car accidents to negotiate, heavy traffic- the driver did well with all of that. But the local company was terrible with communication. They didn’t confirm pickup place or time. Local phone for them is Spanish only. Hotel desk clerk called the evening befy, they couldn’t give information , said they would call back in an hour. Didn’t. Another call finally got him the information

Response from Host, Jan 2020

Thank you for your review. We are very disappointed with your review. Unfortunately, we have no control over traffic, car accidents and traffic. When you book the tour you provide the pick-up location and time and everything is confirmed at the time of booking, you receive an email with the confirmation and voucher. Unfortunately, when you call our English speaking agent was not available. Later our agent confirmed re-confirmed the pick-up. We apologize for the inconvenience and we will consider your comments for future services.

Great experience

wojweld, Oct 2019
An absolute professional driver. Tough conditions of rain, fog, twisting mountainous roads, etc. with only our safety in mind. This is the way to go.This service is top notch.
