We were greeted by Moses who was on time and likable from the very start. He took us outside Cuenca to three historic towns known for their artisans. This included a world renowned guitar maker, Then Museo de la Makana featuring traditional weaving. Anna-Marie was a bilingual joy. We also explored the silver town of Chordeleg. And the third artisan was a ceramic figurine maker who was truly a master. Moses was an adapt bilingual interpretive guide with a full hearted laugh and sense of humor. We look forward to booking him specifically, again.

Great day full of artisans in various towns- great way to see the country!
Edu made this trip so much better with all his information about Cuenca and Ecuador. Great guy and enjoyed all the stops and lunch. We have 10 and 11-year-old boys and they were a handful, but Edy handled it with ease!

Great way to spend a day
Diego was a great guide. Although we booked a group tour, as there were only two of us, it became a private one. We were picked up on time, and driven to several towns to see the town squares etc. with stops at 4 artisans. Each of them gave us a demonstration and the opportunity to buy - we did at two places. There was no pressure to buy but it was expected to leave a small tip $1-2 if you didn't. Diego speaks excellent English and is very knowledgeable about all aspects of Ecuador, so altogether it was a great day out.

Fantastic Tour and Guide.
Our tour guide Diego Parra was Phenomenal he picked us up at our AirBnB promptly he gave us a quick brief on what we would be experiencing during the tour and we began. The vehicle in which he picked us up was new and very spacious. He took us to 3 beutiful villages not very far from cuenca. Diego spoke excellent English and he was extremely informative he literally made frequent stops to point out landmarks or points of interest and he explained things to us in detail which we thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated. His courteous and professional attention to detail was very impressive, we felt very safe with him the entire tour. We plan using this tour service again during our stay in wonderful Cuenca and we will definitely ask for Diego in any future tours. We highly recommend his tour service we give them and Diego Parra . Stars 🌟.

We highly recommend the tour and are grateful to Eddy our guide for his kindness and shared knowledge.
We had a great experience with Eddy on the full day tour to Bartolommeo, Chordeleg, and San Bartolommeo. Eddy was very kind and informed. He taught us tons about the areas we visited and the areas we passed through. We also enjoyed a great lunch at an award winning restaurant. We would highly recommend the tour.

All day artisan/mountain tour.
The tour today was so great. We appreciated and enjoyed every place we visited and also the information provided by our tour guide. We visited
Artisans making guitars, miniature ceramics, silver filigree, and weaving . We were served a great Ecuadorian style lunch and a tour of hundreds of beautiful orchids. We saw 16th and 17th century architecture, and a Spanish aqueduct nestled amongst tremendous mountain landscapes. Gracias por brindarnos un maravilloso recorrido durante todo el día. Not to be missed!

Great way to get to know the regional artisans
An excellent trip! Edison was so knowledgeable about anything and everything to do with Cuenca and Azuay. We saw all the big sights and had a lot of flexibility in the itinerary since it was just us. Highly recommend!

Unforgettable Experience: A Must-Do from Cuenca!
If you’re in Cuenca, do yourself a favor and take this tour with Eddie—it was hands-down the highlight of my trip. Seeing the jewelry-making in Chordeleg and the weaving in Gualaceo was incredible, and getting to watch true masters at work was something I’ll never forget. Eddie made the whole experience even better with his knowledge and passion for the culture. There’s plenty to do in Cuenca, but getting out to the smaller towns gives you a whole new appreciation for Ecuador. Highly recommend this tour!
