5.00You can tell Julio loves people and loves to show guests the best Guayaquil has to offer! He taught us about the history, the culture, showed us the best views, pointed out many things we never would have noticed. He told relatable personal stories. He catered to our interests. We couldn’t have asked for a friendlier tour guide. ¡Muchas gracias para todo Julio!!!

5.00We had 4 great hours exploring Guayaquil with Walter and Andres. Walter showed us the best things that Guayaquil has to offer and catered to our needs. We ended the tour with a cup of coffee and cake at a local cafe, which was amazing. We can highly recommend this if you have short time in Guayaquil and want to see the highlight with a guide that knows the history of the town.
Best of Guaylaquil

5.00This was a lovely 4 hours tour with walking and car transfer. We went to all the places listed, and also a street full of stalls selling paper mache effigies for burning on New Years Eve. These were amazing in creativity and size. The iguana park was great. Who knew that iguanas love banana, and will come up close to get a bite ?(watch your fingers). The walk to the lighthouse viewpoint is up 440 steps, but worth it. I had just arrived with little sleep, and Antonio was such an enthusiatic guide, that I soon forgot my tiredness. There is a lot of talk about Guaylaquil being unsafe. I was comfortable with Antonio as my guide, for a morning walk. But still better not to go out alone at night, as always.
great city tour

5.00Francisco was an excellent tour guide. My sister and I had a free day in Guayaquil before heading to the Galapagos. We got to see all the highlights of the city. Francisco was very knowledgeable and passionate about his county. Climb the 500 steps in the old town. The view is well worth it. We also stopped to experience some more off the beaten path local specialties. He talked about making chocolate and we got some excellent gelato. We visited a great fresh food market and saw a street lined with vibrant paper mache figures that are created to celebrate the new year. I’d highly recommend this tour.
Awesome tour! Great way to see the city!!

5.00My husband and I had a free day before heading out to the Galapagos Islands, so despite all the warnings about safety we received prior to our trip, we decided to see some of what Guayaquil had to offer. Our hotel concierge recommended a private tour with Francisco, and we couldn't be happier with our decision. He was wonderful, showing us all the best sites including a stop at the iguana park, cathedral, Malecon 2000, a cacao shop, Administration Square, and Old Town (where we met with and toured a local artist's atelier). The tour was just the right pace, so we got to really appreciate all we were seeing. Francisco was very knowledgeable and proud of his city. He answered all our questions and made us feel welcome and safe. We highly recommend this tour. Gracias Francisco!!
