I cannot say more great things about this company! We used them from GYE to CUE and from CUE to GYE and they were game changers! Super great and flexible staff, easy to communicate with, and not to mention they were able to accommodate our less than ideal travel times. I would HIGHLY recommend

Ruta 582 through the mountains is not the best of roads. And with the fog, its a tough drive. Our driver was excellent, got us to Guayaquil in good time, and we made our bus connection to the coast.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
You’re absolutely right—driving along Ruta 582 can be quite challenging, especially with foggy conditions in the mountains.
We’re very glad to hear that your driver ensured a safe and efficient journey and that you made your connection in Guayaquil without any issues.
We truly appreciate your trust in our service!

Good and adventure. It is awesome but driver should use their iPhone for gps or direction instead use our iPhone It is okay for us to please let all driver use their iPhone for gps or direction instead customer’s iphone. Steven took picture of us in his iPhone so you can look that picture

Agency was constantly in touch and driver was waiting for us on time. Car was in a good condition and they provided free water. Driver Steven was very friendly and did his job well. We stopped on the road to taste local fruits and had photos and bought something. Then we had second stop to view the sunset. Sunset was spectacular and one of the most beautiful sunsets in our life. Recommend to everyone. Big thanks to Steven!

Picked us up on time at hotel, got us to Cuenca in a timely matter given one road was closed so all traffic took the alternate route. Gustavo was a great and courtesy driver. Will again take shuttle back to Guayaquil next week! Thank you

Antonia was great! On time, nice vehicle, and professional. More importantly, he managed to be safe in the windy mountains of cajas on our way to Guayaquil. Overall, a great experience!

Very good experience. Andres came on time and drove safely all the way to Guayagill, stopping on the way in the Cajas NP. Andres shared a lot of interesting facts on places we were visiting and on Ecuador in general. Highly recommended.

What a wonderful experience on my recent trip from Cuenca to the Guayaquil airport. My driver, Wilson, was a very safe and courteous driver but also an experienced tour guide and shared many interesting facts on the beautiful and diverse terrain we were passing through. I highly recommend!

The trip from Guayaquil to Cuenca was fast and expertly driven through difficult road conditions. The driver Armando was pleasant, courteous, and helpful. The tour manager, Javier, speaks English, and was essential help with the whole process. I highly recommend this service.

Wilson drove us from Cuenca to Guayaquil by way of Cajas National Park and a small cacao farm. He was knowledgeable and accommodating. I would recommend him as a guide and a driver. 5 stars out of 5.
