Informative and Fun

CFStan, Feb 2026
I booked this tour for my family, including two parents in their 80s, and mistakenly didn’t realize it was a walking tour (my fault). When I figured it out just before we started, Edison was incredibly patient over WhatsApp and quickly coordinated with our guide, Flavio. Flavio was fantastic—very knowledgeable about Cuenca and its history, engaging, and genuinely caring. He checked on my parents often, stopped to rest when needed, and never made us feel rushed or like a burden. Highly recommend this tour. They truly care. Edison even followed up after the tour, and Flavio shared photos he took, which was a really nice touch.

Great walking g tour

Edison is an extremely knowledgeable guide. Any questions you have about the city, he knows the answers since he has lived in Cuenca his whole life. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour!

A Perfect Day in Cuenca

Melanye_C, Feb 2025
My walking city tour of Cuenca with Flavio, and it was an outstanding experience. Not only did I get a great tour of the city, but I also got to practice my Spanish as Flavio (since I was the only person on the tour that day). He was patient with translations when needed and went above and beyond, answering my questions about things that weren’t even part of the tour. His knowledge and willingness to help were truly appreciated. He even helped me with a taxi driver when my Spanish failed me. I highly recommend this tour—it was informative and a lot of fun!

Edison, our tour guide was very well spoken and highly knowledgeable of the history of Cuenca.
