Disaoppointing Experience

Unfortunately, this was my most disappointing tripadvisor experience ever. Even though the tour included transfers, the venue would not communicate with me regarding pick up/drop off. Since our hotel wasn't listed when I registered/paid, I emailed them to confirm (and followed up_, and they simply would not respond. When I contacted customer service, they also were not able to get a response. My hotel was gracious enough to reach out to them directly by phone - again, no response. Someone did arrive more than 30 minutes past the advertised pick up time. At the event another couple told us their pick up never happened so they paid for an Uber to avoid missing the show entirely. We've attended several dinner+ show events in different Central/South American countries and those always provided dinner style seating where you were served dinner during the performance. For this show, the 7:30 show takes place completely separate from dinner. The show itself was culturally interesting, but we chose to leave at the intermission (paid for an Uber). After the first hour, we were pretty hungry and preferred to leave/eat rather than sit through another hour before the prospect of eating. Not sure where the dinner was served as the area where the performance takes place didn't appear to support meal service. Really disappointed overall.

Response from the operator: We apologize for the inconvenience, direct contact was maintained with the hotel indicating the time in which the transfer was going to pass. The passengers had a delay of 10 additional minutes due to traffic circumstances in Quito, since the Casa Gangotena hotel is located in full Historic Center. Apologies were apologized for the misunderstanding but all services remained paid and in progress. We apologize again and clients may use the service again at no additional cost if they require it.

A life changing performance everyone should see!

The show ranks with the most beautiful I've ever seen in my life. The talent, colours, culture, people, music, it is amazing, worth it 100% This really opens you up to the beauty of the Andean culture right down to wishing you could be part of it. They all look so happy during the show, smiling so confidently, it is just magic. They blend the costumes, the colours with their movements so perfectly, I wish I could see it again and again. And the musicians providing the music is world class. Every single person in this has unbelievable talent. This will count as the highlight of my trip to Quito and I will never forget it. The dinner after the show takes you to a place with very friendly staff and also nice traditional Ecuadorian food, which is always important to me when I travel. This show is perfect, I would not change anything and I recommend it to anyone wanting a rich heartwarming cultural experience.

Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your beautiful comments, we continue to keep our traditions alive

The show was amazing. The dancers and musicians were great and I loved their costumes. The dinner was also very nice. A big surprise was that our driver was also one of the dancers!

Jacchigua Show Including Dinner + Transfer: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quito.

How much does Jacchigua Show Including Dinner + Transfer cost?

+

Prices start at $56 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Quito usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Jacchigua Show Including Dinner + Transfer take?

+

Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Quito is not rushed.

Is Jacchigua Show Including Dinner + Transfer worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 26 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Quito, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Jacchigua Show Including Dinner + Transfer?

+

No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

Is Jacchigua Show Including Dinner + Transfer suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 2. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 3-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Jacchigua Show Including Dinner + Transfer?

+

Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Quito can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Quito and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Jacchigua Show Including Dinner + Transfer start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Quito within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Quito?

+

On Outty we rank every Quito experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cotopaxi tour from Quito -horseback ride and hike-NO TOURISTY way, Baños Full Day Tour from Quito Including Entrances and Activities, Gastronomic and Cultural Walking Tour of Quito with Tastings. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Quito?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Quito?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
