Otavalo and Peguche - We enjoyed the family experience in Peguche and the Otavaleñan young woman's demonstration of traditional instruments. A young male family member also played a stringed instrument. In the end a large number of women joined in their music room. We were made to feel welcome by the family into their home. Our guide Edison explained local customs thoroughly. We liked swimming in the waterfall. Recommend this tour

Cultural Trip Experience - Edison was a great guide. He is very friendly and knowledgeable about his Country and is passionate about his job. Even on a rainy day we were able to see and explore many places. It was nice Interacting with family home experiences of Music and Weaving. A real chance to see how Ecuadorian people lived and how they did their crafts. We learned a lot about Ecuador and enjoyed the tour.

Most authentic and heartwarming local Guide! - The Tour with Edison was amazing. He showed us hidden places and we learned so much about Quito and Ecuador. He brought us closer to the locals and made us feel very welcoming in Ecuador. He has such a great way to share his knowledge with us that all of us wished the tour would never end. As I am traveling quite a lot I can tell that he is probably the best tour guide I ever met.

Best Tour Guide Around - We loved it! Such a great experience. I like that he took us places that are off the beaten path to have an authentic experience. We saw all the highlights and some hidden gems like the market.
