We visited the Yunguilla region of Ecuador. Our guide, Adrian, was educational and informative. He pointed out many things along the bike trail.
Cuenca BesTours went above and beyond to make this trip happen; very memorable!

Summary:
On a sunday afternoon, we had the idea to do the bike tour in Cuenca the next day. I found a telephone number on the site and send a whatsapp message. I got an answer real quick that they would do their best to find a guide for the next morning. And a few hours later, I got a message that they actually found somebody: Wilson!
So the next day, Wilson's wife picked us up at the hotel and she took us to their home, where the bikes were. We met Wilson and he explained some things about the bikes (mostly about braking :)).
Wilson is a very friendly guide who knows a lot about Cuenca and it's history. We always love to see cities while biking through them and with Wilson sharing his knowledge, it made it even more interesting.
After the tour we went back to his home, where we were welcomed by his wife with some fruit to eat. We loved the tour!
