Juan was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable and friendly.
Juan met us at our hotel exactly on time with his van. He had excellent driving skills and we felt extremely safe with him. He was flexible and customized our trip to Otavalo so that we could sample some fresh traditional bizcochos and visit an equator museum close by. Juan was personable, knowledgeable and took interest in us. We enjoyed lunch with him in Cotacachi and he then allowed some time to shop for leather goods. What a great experience. We were totally satisfied.
Juan is a very conscientious and energetic guy who gets you understand the culture of his city. He is good choice to see more than the ordinary.
Juan is a wonderful guide. He communicates beautifully in English and he was very comfortable translating for us throughout the trip. His itinerary is full of cultural history, local food delicacies and fun activities. He also accompanied us throughout the market which made it easier for us to discover treasures.
