Essential - Very interesting and entertaining tour. Angela is a magnificent host who captures all our attention and makes the two hours of the route fly by. Cuenca changes at night and is mysterious.

Amazing tour!! - Amazing tour!! The guide Cristina knew a lot about the city, and we had a very pleasant tour. She shared very interesting legends about the city, and adding on top fun comments! I think this is one of the best tours I have taken in my life, as she spent a good amount of time with no rush at all, plus walking around the city a night is impressive. Thanks a lot for a wonderful experience, I definitely suggest anyone to take this great tour!

Very suitable for the night after Halloween - Night view highly recommended. We really liked how Ángela presented them to us and we recommend it even for those who have not seen anything about Cuenca previously. It is very worth it, and we had a night on November 1st with "calabobos".
