About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- James C0 contributionsThe best birthday week ever in Galapagos!We booked the 8 days tour of the Galapagos and it was amazing; one of the best experiences of our lives. The team at Guide Ecuador were very nice and welcoming. Everything went very smoothly from the start in Guayaquil - really appreciated their help and support at the airport and then throughout our journey in Galapagos. We had amazing guides - thanks to Pamela in San Cristobal, Dario and James in Santa Cruz. They made our journey even more special. The itinerary is packed as there is so much to see. This place is truly special and worth a visit.Written 21 September 2024
- LisinaBrl0 contributionsLovely day thanks to our guide LeonardoToday we had the most wonderful experience hiking all the way up from the teleferico to the summit of Rucu Pichincha. I can only say amazing things of our guide Leonardo Guerrero. He was on time for our hotel pickup, he safely drove us to the teleferico and got us started on the hike (not before warming up to avoid injuries!). He was knowledgeable of the area as well as local trees and animals and promptly answered all my questions. He was very kind and help me climb up when the trail required rock climbing. We had arrived in Quito just a few hours before in the middle of the night due to a flight delay, nevertheless Leonardo set a pace that we could follow despite the lack of sleep and acclimatization. I would strongly recommend working with Leonardo as he has experience with city tour as well behind hiking. Thank you Leonardo for a first lovely day in Quito!Written 31 August 2024

- Leah D0 contributionsOtavalo and the “Way of the Roses”Our family of four (two adults two teens) was promptly picked up by Erick the guide and Pablo the driver. Erick approached us straight away at our hotel pick up and explained what was happening for the day. He was kind and sincere. We knew we were going to Otavalo and the markets but it was the shade houses of roses that intrigued me on the way. Erick could see I was very interested and so stopped at a roadside florist for me to see all the roses they were selling. We always felt safe and looked after. It was our last day in Equador and we had a great time walking to the waterfall. I would definitely recommend this private guided tour.Written 4 July 2024
- 23nareshr0 contributionsLast minute trip planned perfectly by Alejandro !Alejandro was fantastic ! He coordinated a tour for us in Peru in less than 24 hours, booked us accommodations in the Amazon with almost no availability , and was overall detail oriented in figuring out our paperwork and itineraries at the same time calm , not rushed and super available. Couldn’t recommend them moreWritten 29 June 2024
- tjelke0 contributionsGreat Guayaquil Day TourWe did the day tour of Guayaquil in order to get to know the city before we took off to the Galapagos the next day. There were four of us… My wife and I and two teenage boys. The tour was about 3 1/2 hours long and it included history, culture, a little sightseeing, and some food tasting. Allison was an excellent tour guide as a city native. Knowledgeable, eligible, great communicator before, and during the tour, and showed us a lot of the city. I recommend this tour highly.Written 28 June 2024

It was a lot of fun and we will never forget the many unique moments we had on this trip. Considering that COVID affected our original travel plans for this year. We had 4 days around Quito and Alex our guide showed us everywhere. Thank you and we look forward to hire you again next time.
