Diego was a great tour guide! We got to see so many things and he explained everything and went above and beyond to give us the context and history and culture of Ecuador/the Andes. Also we hit a lot of traffic coming back to Quito but felt very safe with our driver.

it was amazing really took his time showing me places and took his time at the market and made sure I got everything I needed. And went out of his way when my credit card stoped working to go to the bank help me with withdrawal money for the rest of my trip. even went to the pharmacy when I was feeling well. very considerate of my needs during my tour making sure I was comfortable.

Diego is a fabulous guide; a friendly and knowledgeable ambassador for Ecuador. He brought us to great places, had good advice about walking through the markets and helped us find what we were looking for. Diego is generous, interesting and a delightful conversationalist and he gave us a wonderful day in Otavalo.
