My husband and I had Sebastian as our guide for the whole trip. Sebastian was great and spoke very good English so we could chat really easily with him. Sebastian was very amenable, knowledgeable and friendly., He judged our abilities and matched the activities to suit. It was good that we did some reasonably challenging hiking so we felt we had achieved something each day. We had some great lunches and stayed in interesting places and rach day there was something new. We found out an amazing amount about the country. The trip met our expectations and beyond.

Everything went well and to plan Luis was a great guide and driver providing just the right amount of information and when it was needed Accommodation was of a good standard The tour covered all the main highlights of the area and is adaptable to suit you Would recommend

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.

My husband and I did the 5-day, 4 night tour from Quito to Cuenca and we couldn't have been happier with the trip. Javier was easy to work with (even when I changed my mind a million times) and accommodated our interests and my choices for accommodations. Ecuador is a beautiful country and we enjoyed every bit of it - the mountains/volcanoes, visiting with a local indigenous family, the historical sites, the walks, the rapelling in Banos - our tour seemed well thought out and went very smoothly. It was wonderful to have breakfast and lunch provided every day, allowing us to sample local cuisine and leaving us to decide what to have for dinner. A huge shout out to our guide, Sebastian - he was very personable and knowledgeable, and very willing to answer our multitude of questions. Since we spent a fair amount of time in the car together, we learned a tremendous amount about Ecuador's politics, culture, views on women, history, economy, and customs - it was like we had a crash course on the country and we enjoyed it all. Sebastian was a perfect guide (and a very good driver, too) and he reflects well on Cuenca Bestours. All in all, our pre-Galapagos trip was wonderful and I highly recommend Cuenca Bestours to anyone looking for an introduction to the beautiful country of Ecuador.

We did a 6 day superior level trip from Quito to Cuenca after spending 2 weeks in the Galapagos. The drive through the Avenue of the Volcanoes is spectacular and provides an awesome counterpoint to the islands. We had 2 amazing guides, Lincoln and Sebastian. They provided extensive information about everything we saw and visited and were always ready to modify the trip to meet our needs and expectations. The accommodations were excellent and the food was always local and delicious. Booking the trip was easy and Javier was always prompt in getting back to us. We highly recommend Cuenca Bestours.

Javier put together an amazing and customized trip for us from Quito to Cuenca with only a few days of advance notice. He kept in touch via phone/whatsapp and answered all our questions before and during the tour. Accommodations in hotels and restaurants were super nice and super unique! Both of our guides (Lincoln and Luis) were amazing. They discussed an amazing and rich Ecuador history with us, hiked with us, showed us interesting and hidden places and drove us around in a safe and respectable manner. I highly recommend Cuenca Tours and guides Luis and Lincoln to anyone!

We did a 5-day tour from Quito to Cuenca. From planning all the way to the end, we had such a great experience. Highly recommend this company! Making arrangements was super easy, we were able to discuss every detail and customize all. Javier is super easy to work with. We had an amazing guide, Andres León, that became a person friend after this trip. Andres is very knowledgeable, very passionate about travel himself and was such a pleasure to be with throughout the entire trip. I can’t say enough good things, company & Andres made everything perfect & easy. We love all the cities & places we visited. All the lunches included were truly amazing in the most beautiful places. Hasiendas/hotels that company arranged are beautiful with great service. If you are looking to explore Ecuador, don’t hesitate, Cuenca Best Tours is the best choice!

This is a MUST DO tour for anyone who wants to see & experience the amazing Ecuadorean Andes region. The beauty and magnificence of these mythical volcanoes, mountains and cascades, where indigenous people still live is just stunning- and inspiring. In particular, our drivers/guides on this tour were excellent drivers, AND extremely knowledgeable Tourist guides. Their SUVs were very clean and had properly working, clean seat belts. All in all, we had an unforgettable 4 days getting to discover and enjoy Alexander Von Humboldt’s beloved Avenue of the Volcanoes.

We had an amazing 5 day tour from Quito to Cuenca with Javier. Javier has an incredible wealth of knowledge about the plants, animals, birds, history and geography. We spent the nights at some incredible hotels. And the views along the Avenue of Volcanoes - wow! We run out of superlatives trying to convey how great the tour is and how great Javier is.

We had a great time -- Ecuador is a really beautiful country and travelling along the Pan American Highway was a great way to see more of it. The hotels that were booked for us were terrific. We had nice meals, beautiful scenery and a chance to go off on our own for a bit every day. Lincoln and Andres were knowledgeable, and very helpful.

Quilotoa lake is just amazing ! Like all other activities done during those 4 days. Both guides knows perfectly their country & region and explain everything with all details required. Just knowing in advance the location for every end of afternoon/night would have been a plus to anticipate things to see/do.

My mom and I booked our 7-day trip in Ecuador visiting Quito and Cuenca over the Christmas holidays through Cuenca Besttours. I was initially skeptical about betting our entire trip experience over online reviews, but was very pleased with how it turned out. Javier was very professional and arranged all the drivers perfectly. The driver's were always one time, extremely courteous and very reliable. Our guide Andres Leon in particular is such a fun person to be around, with such rich knowledge of not only the flora and fauna around the Cajas National Park but also how they are connected to the culture and the way of living. I enthusiastically recommend Cuenca Bestours for all travelers to Ecuador.

A wonderful, jam packed tour. They listened to our interests and presented an excellent plan, that was also adjustable as needed. Having a vehicle with a driver/guide made everything so flexible. Locations, activities, food and lodgings were great. Our guide Javier was informative and you could tell he loved his country. He was certainly knowledgeable but if he didn’t know something he would tell us then we all work work to figure/find it out. Fully recommend this company.

We booked a 4 day trip from Cuenca. Our guide Maria was amazing!! We saw Ingapirca, the Amazon, and the volcanoes Tungurahua and Chimborazo. We got to stay in the lovely town of Banos for 2 nights. Banos is a cool laid back town with lots of outdoor activities and waterfalls nearby. We took a swing at the tree house on the hill, took a cable car ride high over the river and saw the waterfall Manto de la Novia, and hiked to the waterfall El Pailon del diablo. The whole time guided by our awesome guia Maria!! She safely drove us around everywhere, and translated for us when needed. We had a blast and saw and did so many amazing things, i can't even write them all down. I would highly recommend Cuenca Best Tours and there staff!!!

My brother, nephew and I just returned from a fantastic 10 day trip to beautiful Ecuador that included Quito, Quilotoa, Cotopaxi, the Amazon at Puyo, Banos, Riobama, Cuenca, and Salinas. Our guide Sebastin E. was just excellent. He shared his great knowledge and enthusiasm with us, and took us many neat physical hikes that balanced our love of nature with our love of Ecuadorian culture and history. Highly recommend Cuenca Bestours and Sesbastin E. Will be using them again!

This is an excellent tour company. Sebastian was there to meet us at the airport upon arrival, even with it being midnight. He guided us very professionally throughout the country. We would travel with Cuencabestours and Sebastian again anytime.

Our trip was absolutely incredible. Everywhere we stayed was great and Sebastian was an excellent guide!

My recent holiday in Ecuador included a 4 day trip from Quito to Cuenca with Cuenca Bestours. It was very well organised to include the best sights and experiences along the way . My guide was Sebastian and he was wonderful. Extremely friendly with perfect English and a wide and varied knowledge of all aspects of Ecuadorian life , culture & history.

We choose the personalised tour. Javier was patient at answering all our queries and catering / customising the tour to our requirements. We did: Quiltoa-Banos-Cotopaxi We had an absolutely good time with our guide (Lincoln)! He was very accommodating, knowledgeable and punctual. Also, he spoke very good English. We learned a lot about the history of the different areas as well as the flora and fauna in the area. Our hikes were very enjoyable as well as we could go at our own pace. The choice of hotels were comfortable and quite interesting. Aside from how interesting the places were, we absolutely loved the flexibility that came with a private tour. Overall, good choice! We'd certainly recommend this tour.
