Jacchigua Show Including Dinner + Transfer

Posted By : danapb
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.

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.

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!

An incredible rich cultural experience! The dance! The drama! The costumes! The music! An unforgettable, not to be missed, once in a lifetime event. And front row seats! And you even get to join the troop for the finale dance!

The first issue is the guide did NOT pick us up though we texted and called. We thus hired a cab who could not find the facility until he made multiple stops. After we arrived by taxi, the guide showed up and spoke almost no English. Someone else had to explain how we would be transferred back to the hotel; the guide was unable to communicate even that. There was NO meal during the performance. When the performance ended, we went to the place we were told to meet the guide. He was not there. Eventually another staff person told us the guide was on his way and would take us to a restaurant . It was then 9:30 pm and we declined a meal at that time of night. Thus the guide took us to the hotel. This scenario made for an unpleasant evening on my husbands 75th Birthday. We had to find and pay a taxi and had no dinner. Frankly we feel a refund is in order. The play performance was good;; however the evening was ruined due to the stress created and no meal.

An absolutely phenomenal show, with amazing costumes, filled with rich culture and heritage. The pick up was really smooth and brought us to the venue. Where, we were welcomed in, and offered a complimentary Canalazo. After the show we were taken to a restaurant with an amazing view of Quito at night. Overall, I recommend this experience highly, to truly get a great insight into Ecuador's culture.

The show was super, very nice, we had front-row seats. The transfer from the hotel to the venue went smoothly and after the show transferred to dinner. Dinner with a superb view from the restaurant over Quito. Worth every penny. Must do it when you're in Quito. !!

A wonderful Ecuadorian folkloric dance show with excellent performers. Great entertainment for everyone who wants to learn about different cultural customs from Ecuador. I travelled with my students (11- 12 years old) and they really enjoyed it.

This was a memorable night out. Great costumes and dances; however, it was awkward given the sexual overtones of two of the numbers and the group of schoolchildren present. Dinner afterward provided magnificent views of the city lights but the food was just average.
