5.00Edison was a fantastic guide. Punctual, extremely knowledgeable about current and ancient history and Ecuadoran economics and politics. English is excellent. Very generous in sharing his knowledge and love of Ecuador. We decided to do a second tour to the Cajas with him the next day.

5.00We did this tour on a Sunday morning in November 2024. The journey from our AirBnB in Cuenca took around 80 minutes, and our guide Cristian pointed out sights of interest en route. The Ingapirca archeological site was well restored, and we enjoyed walking around as Cristian explained its history. We’d highly recommend this tour, and especially the guide Cristian.
Great guide for Ingapirca (And around Cuenca !)

5.00Edison is one of the most knowledgeable guide ever met. He is an open book for everything one wishes to know about Cuenca specifically and Ecuador in general. In addition, Edition is punctual, helpful, listen to any specific query and is very flexible which made the visit of Ingapirca a memorable moment. All antipandemic precautions were taken. I warmly recommend Edison!
