Free Walking Tours Cuenca, Ecuador

Tomas is a wonderful guide! This tour was interesting and fun. We went to places most tours do not go to which made it very special. Even though the tour lasts long it does not seem like it because Tomas invites you to participate so much the time flies by. We stopped for a coffee break about half way through. I highly recommend this tour!

Flavio y su tour es lo máximo! Tiene muchísima información, y te lo hace súper divertido! Se nota que es una persona que ama mucho su ciudad y te lo transmite! Lo súper recomiendo

Muy buena, nos indico lugares y costumbres super lindas de cuenca

Una caminata agradable. Flavio, gran guia. Recomendable.

Recomended!

Diego met and toured me even though I was the only one signed up. He is relaxed and easygoing so it was a pleasure spending time with him. He made the tour interesting and didn't overload me with history which I never remember. The tour was varied between the historical monuments, cleansing ritual at the market and the tucked away artisan market. I would recommend Diego.

Flavio is an amazing and very knowledgeable guide, he took us to many beautiful places in the center of Cuenca and gave us a lot of useful and interesting information. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone new in Cuenca!

An excellent walking tour! Ronald is an incredibly enthusiastic guide, and his passion for the history of Cuenca and the Indigenous peoples of Ecuador shines through every story he tells. As an anthropologist who has participated in field studies, he brings far more than textbook knowledge — he shares insights you simply won’t find in a guidebooks. He masterfully blends history, culture, and personal experience, making every stop along the walk feel meaningful. His explanations were vivid and accessible, and his stories were so engaging that we ended up talking with him for almost four hours. We kept asking questions, and he answered every single one with patience, depth, and true generosity. If you want to understand Cuenca beyond the surface — its people, traditions, and hidden layers — this is the tour to take. Highly recommended! ❤️

I had a beautiful day exploring Cuenca with Thomas and two Europeans. Even after two weeks in Cuenca, he showed me places I didn’t know existed. Thank you!

Es muy interesante todo la historia de cuenca. Y Flavoi explica muy bien.

Sigue adelante Javier, que buen tour el que tienes organizado.

Un genio Tomás, muy instruido y piola, recomiendo el tours con el

Great experience..our guide took us to interesting places that we would have missed without him.. he also sent us a list of recommendation to explore afterwards. Our Guillermon was great.

Had an amazing time on the free walking tour with Tomas! He’s super friendly, easy-going, and makes the whole experience feel relaxed and fun. The tour itself was fantastic — great mix of history, interesting local facts, plus delicious chocolate and beer tastings. Highly recommend if you’re in Cuenca!

Gracias a Diego por la visita que fue súper chevere. La visita está muy completa (hablamos de cultura, aquitectura, historia hasta gastronomía) y no puedo numerar todas las anécdotas que me contó. Definitivamente un tour que deben hacer si quieren conocer realmente la ciudad!

This was an amazing tour! Flavio was so sweet and knowledgeable. He taught us so much and I felt like I got a really good understanding of this beautiful city, its history and its culture. I can highly recommend!

Great Tour with a good length, Guillermo is really passionate about his city spread a lot of knowledge and insights about Cuencas history and culture

Absolutely amazing and better than I could've expected! Not only was Tomás happy to do the tour with only me, but he was very personable and gave the tour with the same care and attention as he would've with a group. I appreciate him even more for wanting to show me around when the other "pro" tour guide I booked earlier in the day didn't even bother showing up. Thank you Tomás for a truly memorable time!

Nos gustó mucho el tour, gracias por tu paciencia con mis padres. Os recomiendo Diego, excelente guía!!

We really enjoyed our tour with Tomas, and we learned a lot about the city!

Gustavo ha sido muy buen guía, nos ha explicado todo súper bien y nos ha enseñado un montón de cosas de la ciudad de Cuenca

Tomás is very knowledgeable and gives a good overview of Cuenca's history, but also adapts the tour and information to the group. It was a good length and we covered the most important places. A few of the later non-cultural stops were less interesting for me personally.

È stato un ponerigggio bellissimo. Xavier non aveva per nulla fretta di arrivare a fine del tour e ci ha lasciato un sacco di tempo per approfondire le informazioni e rispondere alle nostre domande. Il tour quindi si è prolungato fi due ore, anche se lui fisicamente non stava al topp, ci ha accompagnato con molta serenità e professionalità, ha lasciato lo spazio per le nostre esigenze (pausette in più, vedere altre cose) e ha sempre saputo risolvere i nsorri dubbi, era super ben preparato!

We did both this tour with Flavio and the walking tour with Tomas, also listed on Guru. Both were excellent and there wasn’t a lot of overlap as each had a different focus. Flavio highlighted the architecture and art of Cuenca and took us to more places further afield from the main square, while Tomas focused more on places around the square and on local food and drink. Flavio is very knowledgeable and his English was very good.

We enjoyed the tour and saw places we would have missed on our own. Although the tour is 4 hours, we took a half hour coffee break half way through.
