Ayrton was an excellent guide who showed us around the beautiful Otavalo market, town of Cotacachi, and wonderful Cuicocha lake. He was a great driver, very knowledgeable about all of the attractions, and a very good conversationalist across both English and Spanish. When I asked him to speak Spanish with me, he was very patient with my lack of experience and vocabulary and spoke slowly without condescension. Overall 10/10 experience. Would definitely recommend to anyone considering day trips in Ecuador.
