The operator was a no show. Left me stranded at my hotel. Viator was no help whatsoever. This is deplorable operation. No communication and no assistance.

A Must See National Park!
If you can get Eddy as your tour guide, you are already having, in our opinion, the best tour guide in Cuenca.
The National Park is amazing. So much history, beautiful scenery and a knowledgeable tour guide added so much to this trip. Being Canadians, we were surprised and impressed that the trout in the lake were brought in from Canada.
Operator response
Thank you so much for your comment! We are delighted to hear that you had an excellent experience with Eddy. He is undoubtedly a passionate guide who is committed to providing the best for our visitors. We will pass on your kind words to him. We hope to see you again soon in Cuenca!
