Victor picked me up from the airport a few days ago in Guayaquil and drove me to Cuenca. Yesterday, he drove me around and showed me apartments, then helped me negotiate a great bargain with a landlord for a beautiful place near Parque Calderon that had not been advertised for rent yet. I highly recommend him to anyone needing transportation or assistance with any of his services. He's extremely bright, trustworthy, and a good traveling companion with a comprehensive knowledge of Guayaquil, Cuenca, and Ecuador. Thank you for the informative videos, Don!
We had Victor drive us from Cuenca to Ballenita. The most enjoyable long distance drive I've ever had! Victor is engaging, entertaining and kept the conversation going which allowed the kilometers traveled just slip by.
Great video Don. It can be a little daunting trying to set up transportation in Ecuador for travelers. This is very helpful. I might be giving Victor a call to show me around Cuenca once I arrive.
Glad it was helpful! I recommend people do like I did. Before my arrival, I made arrangements for Victor to come get me on my second day and take me to get my Tranvia pass, show mw around some, get me to the grocery store to get some food and we managed all of that in a little under four hours. It was worth every penny paid. -ds
All I've heard is that if you're in a taxi as an expat and there is an accident, you'd be well advised to leave the scene and don't get involved. I don't know how much this is true.
Don, Great info. Do you know if he will allow clean well trained furfaces like us in his cars? Mom likes to take us everywhere she can and we are wondering how hard it will be to do that. Victor looks like nice man. Thanks, Luna and Rebel
Fisherman? to fish what? , there is absolutely no fish in that river, the only fishing yo do in on the trout farms and them provide you with the fishing stuff 😉
No flights. I'd have to go through Quito and that would take too long. When the new Ecuadoriana Airline arrives next summer, we'll have daily flights between all of these regional locations.
After watching other videos on Cuenca, yes there are ride share apps. However, not all areas are covered by Wi-Fi specially the far flung tourist areas. I can see how someone like Victor comes in very handy with a reasonably priced service.
If he can drive in NYC he can drive Ecuador

Victor is a great guy. He helped us buy our first car in Cuenca a decade ago
Great gesture Don, promoting Victor and his services to all people.

He is an excellent driver. I'm glad you had the chance to meet him.

Yes from someone who knows him from the States I can testify to that. He’s my mentor. My spouse and I love him

THANKS all inf from Victor,🇪🇨
Good job Don.
Thank you Sir.
Don't think I ever saw an interview with a cab driver before . great interview
Let me know when you see one.
That guy speaks English really well.
Boy, I could have used him today! Thx for providing this info!
No you couldn’t because he was with me! Jaja
I love another person's comment, "If he can drive in NYC, he can drive in Ecuador!" LOL Great interview, Don!
Great video...you guys provided some great information....ty for all your videos...ty Victor.
Our pleasure!
another useful video.
Glad you think so!
Don, you rock!!!
Great Reporting!
Good connection !
Glad you think so!
Don, I’ve heard in Ecuador if there is a injury accident ALL involved go to jail until it’s all sorted out??😱
Yeah. Never involve the police unless it is unavoidable.
All I've heard is that if you're in a taxi as an expat and there is an accident, you'd be well advised to leave the scene and don't get involved.
I don't know how much this is true.
Don. awesmoe ~;)
great information.
Glad it was helpful!

I bet he would but you might want to drop him a line just to be sure. Pupper doggers need good transportation too.
lol! You missed the chance to find out where the fishermen get their stuff 😉
Fisherman? to fish what? , there is absolutely no fish in that river, the only fishing yo do in on the trout farms and them provide you with the fishing stuff 😉
Like Carmen said.
When I was in Cuenca, I was looking for Viktor lost his contact number.
Now you have it (in the description). Don't lose it!
so does he pickup and/or drive people from airport to Cuenca and back? we are coming to Ecuador this summer and maybe we can use him as a driver.
Yes he does.
Why didn't you fly from Manta to Cuenca?
Via Quito that might have taken more than a day, depending on connections.
No flights. I'd have to go through Quito and that would take too long. When the new Ecuadoriana Airline arrives next summer, we'll have daily flights between all of these regional locations.
I'm sure glad your not like your neighbors on Manta who skim commissions from the Ecuador small business owners in order to provide phone numbers.
No other ride share apps like UBER, LYFT or GRAB in Cuenca?
Indrive, uber and didi Indrive is the best cuz you input the fair if drive wants that price they accept always cheaper than taxi in my opinion
Whatever.
No. Call Victor.
