Where do I begin? Peter was an amazing tour guide! He began with a view of the city from Yotour Point, then off to Museo Pumapungo for a very thorough cultural lesson about Ecuador. After, we rode all around Cuenca, looking at the beautiful and colorful city. We we even treated to the changing of the guard at the Presidential Palace. Next, a delicious lunch that was just amazing, followed by a tour of the beautiful cathedral in the square of Cuenca. A walk through the flower market, and then Peter helped a blind, elderly lady reach the front of the church. Such a heartwarming gesture of respect. He is one of the best guides. I hope to meet him again. Bravo!
Response from Host, Jan 2024
It warms our hearts to hear that Peter provided you with an amazing tour, showcasing the city's beauty and culture. The visit to Yotour Point, the thorough cultural lesson at Museo Pumapungo, and the colorful tour around Cuenca sound like an enriching and enjoyable exploration.
We're especially pleased to hear about Peter's heartwarming gesture of helping a blind, elderly lady at the church—a true testament to his empathy and respect for others.
Your kind words are a great source of motivation for us, and we're delighted to know that Peter left such a positive impression on you.

We had a great time discovering Cuenca with our guide Flavio. He was very professional and knowledgeable about the history and culture of Cuenca. We do recommend this tour.

The Cuenca- Turi Tour was excellent. From the time I was picked up by Wilson Avila to the time the tour ended was all memorable. He is kind, fun, informative and excellent tour guide. The view from Turi was incredible. Wilson made sure to give me all the time I needed to photograph what I wanted. He has a colorful way of explaining the history and culture of the people. I appreciated Cuenca even more knowing what I know now. I highly recommend this tour and wish I could go once more. The lunch was yummy. Thank you Viator for the experience.

Sebastian provided our full day tour of Cuenca and he did not disappoint.
He has encyclopedic knowledge of the city coupled with a profound love for his town. His English is near perfect and he was an enjoyable gentleman to spend the day in Cuenca
