There is a lot to see in Cuenca and Jenny took us to many, many places. Jenny has a great deal of knowledge about the city and it was very interesting. She has a very quiet voice and it was sometimes hard to hear her. The tour was very long, over 31/2 hours.

Very interesting. I feel I got to know Cuenca and saw things I’d never have seen on my own. Well worth it.

Disfrutamos mucho del tour con Jenny. Ella fue muy amable y nos compartió mucho de su amplio conocimiento. Nos llevó a lugares a los que por cuenta propia no hubiésemos llegado. Le agradecemos mucho por todo lo que nos enseñó y esperamos tener la oportunidad de compartir otro tour con ella. 100% recomendado.
