Entristecida por no hacer el tour con Tomas que al parecer es muy profesional, escribió para avisar que no podia. Yo tenía muchas expectativas ya que mis familiares iban por primera vez a Cuenca y deseaba tener una buena compañía que nos cuente sobre la bella ciudad. Sin embargo, de último momento al no conseguir respuesta alguna yo tuve que contactar con otro gurú y nos fue excelente.

Lo peor y un impresentable. El guía Tomás indico que tenía cosas que hacer y que no había almorzado porque se había extendido el tour anterior. Le indicamos que le esperábamos a que almorzara y nos dijo que no, que tenía cosas que hacer y que otro día. Nosotros indicamos la imposibilidad de postergar porque ya nos íbamos de Cuenca, que sustituyera el guía e indico que era el único guía. Para nosotros fue una gran decepción ya que íbamos con toda la expectativa de conocer la historia de Cuenca y que nos encanta Gurú Walk y además con tan poco tiempo no pudimos reservar otro tour guiado de la ciudad. Destacamos la falta de profesionalismo, respeto y consideración de este guía que no puede cancelar en el último minuto sin considerar el tiempo, recursos y esfuerzo invertido de los viajeros que además vienen de otros países y que posiblemente no tendrán otra oportunidad de ver esta hermosa ciudad, porque Cuenca cale mucho la pena.
