Decent tour - Worth the $8.00 per person, even in the rain. Got a good lay of the city. Could not understand the tour guide, even in English. Yellow bus. This is not a hop on hop off, just one stop at Turi, which was pretty, and a whole view of the city. About 2 hours and saw some areas of town. Not great, but as a first time visitor, it worked for us.

Nice first impression - Arrived in Cuenca and booked a bus tour directly at the bus. Super nice city tour to the mountain church (stay 30 minutes) and back! Ideal for first impressions!

Call or message before you book. - The trip was rated English and Spanish but after showing up we were told it was Spanish only and we were too late to rebook the f we English tour. The ride was nice and scenic. The one stop was beautiful. Not sure how the hop on and off would work as there was only one stop made but it might have been mentioned in Spanish.

Highly dissatisfied - I had taken this tour in 2018, it was great! This time came with my American husband, booked an English speaking tour and they only had Spanish. I was told English is not offered every day something they fail to disclose at booking. They clearly give you the option to choose a language and it was an option on the day I chose but in reality it was not! Tours site Viator should fix this immediately, Another HUGE disappointment was the stop at Turi outlook it’s a big part of the tour. It is currently under renovation and construction. You can’t even access the outlook the bus stops down a muddy hill you have to walk through planks etc. for nothing! Really should stop this portion of the tour OR also disclose before misleading people.

Unintelligible audio from start to finish - I didn't have high expectations for this, but they still weren't met. Sat up top, and between people talking, the noises of the city, and the muddy audio, I did not make out one entire phrase in English or Spanish. The guide was below, where no one was sitting, and the speakers up top either didn't work at all or didn't work well enough to understand anything being said. Don't go in thinking you will learn a lot about the city. That said, it's a pleasant enough ride around town and up to Turi, though you only get 30 mins. Personally, I'd take a walking tour or arrange for a guide so you can listen and ask questions.
