A great way to discover Guayaquil - Picked up and returned to our hotel by a friendly guide;just us on the tour. We walked and he explained the history of Ecuador & Guayaquil,and the significance of what we were seeing. Happy to stop for a coffee and toilet stop. He had a driver who took us from one spot to another. Great views of the city from a vantage point;amazing sculptures of parrot an iguana and a monkey,made from thousands of pieces of ceramic. And mustn't forget the park with iguanas everywhere

Awesome! - We enjoyed learning about the history behind the city and seeing the important buildings and city areas. We especially enjoyed walking the Malecon. Our guide, Tony Escobar, was excellent. He was very articulate and accommodating to our desires. Our driver Violetta was also great!

Make the most of your time - We had a great early Sunday tour with Tony. Our time was limited as we had a flight later in the day. With driver Richard and Tony as our guide, we saw all the historic and scenic sights in Guayaquil. Tony is very personable and also interested in getting the best photo angles for his clients. We had a great time!

Great trip around Guayaquil - This was a wonderful trip around Guayaquil, seeing all of the main sites. Part of the tour was with an air conditioned car, and part by walking. Javeth was an amazing guide who really went above and beyond.

Excellent Tour of Guayaquil - This is a great tour to view the major landmarks in Guayaquil. Our guide, Javeth, was excellent and very knowledgeable about the history of the city. This tour is essentially a private tour with just your group and the guide so the cost is very reasonable. Highly recommend!

A must do tour! - We had an excellent tour with Javeth! His knowledge and passion for the history of the city and its people was outstanding. He was very engaging and had a good sense of humor. I believe this tour is a must, even if you are only here a few days like us.

Guayaquil is such a... - Guayaquil is such a beautiful city, and this mixed driving/walking tour provides just enough detail and just the right introduction to make us want to see more. Our guide, Jabeth (at Free Tours Guayaquil) and our driver, Freddie, were great company.

Tour Guide Never Showed Up - This was a pricey private car tour with hotel pick-up at 1400. ($310 for 2 adults for 3 hours.) When the guide did not show up by 1420, we called the tour operator. The hotel concierge called them. Viator called, texted, and emailed them. No answer. By 1530, the hotel had arranged for a taxi driver to take us on the same itinerary, but no English-speaking guide. Instead, the driver turned on his speaker-phone and found an English-Spanish translation app using Google to describe the points of interest. Result: a professionally narrated 3-hour tour for just $36! At the end of the day, we checked our emails. Viator had already refunded our $310, and the tour operator explained the no-show and offered to give us the tour for free on another day, which we could not do. Thanks anyway. Problems can and will happen. Perhaps the tour operator can keep their phone on during tour hours and call the to guide to verify that the guide showed up on time?
