The half day waterfall tour was a great option that allowed us to experience a natural wonder and Ecuadorian small town while still having plenty of time left in the day. Sebastian was exceptionally knowledgeable about everything we asked and was very friendly. I would recommend this trip to anybody wanting a unique experience while visiting Cuenca.First off Andres was an incredible tour guide. Very personable, knowledgeable and eager to be of service.

First off Andres was an incredible tour guide. Very personable, knowledgeable and eager to be of service. Spoke English better than me lol and Spanish for our mixed party. Andres recommended some great food spots that we hit up as well. Javier made signing and arranging the tour easy and carefree, even though we booked just 1 day in advance.. Arranged for multiple pickups and off we went. Great trip with young kids, some challenging climbs but not too bad. The scenery is well worth the effort. Lunch at the lake was delicious. Highly recommend!!It was an amazing trip, it had it all. Scenery on the drive up there, Wilson showing me the town of Giron, his excellent knowledge of the flora and fauna and everything in between.

We had a great tour with Sebastian! He was friendly and very knowledgeable about Ecuador's history and the places we visited. It was really interesting to learn about Ecuador's battles with Peru and to see the actual table where the treaty was signed. Sebastian was a careful driver. We also appreciated his flexibility. He went above and beyond to save the tour when it became obvious that the road to Giron was closed due to a landslide. The road crew was able to open a detour after a slight delay so we were able to continue on our tour. Our walk around Busa Lake was nice and we saw a woman cutting grass for her guinea pigs so Sebastian explained how the locals raise and care for their guinea pigs. The lunch at the restaurant near the lake was quite good as well. Sebastian had many good things to say about Cuenca Bestours and we definitely agree. Javier was very helpful arranging this tour and our upcoming tour for us. We already have another tour scheduled with this company (Cuenca to Quito) and look forward to it.
