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.

An enjoyable learning experience - We had a very enjoyable guided tour of Guayaquil. We spent half the time in the car and half of it walking. We saw a lot of the city and learned a lot about the history and life in Ecuador. It was great to see the highlights of the city during our short stay here. We would highly recommend this tour!

Fantastic 1/2 day tour. - Guide was great - lots of interesting knowledge and a real passion for the history of Guayaquil in general! Enjoyed talking about local Guayaquil and Ecuadorian national culture and South American politics over the last century as well.

Good, solid introduction to Guayaquil and a trip worth taking of you have only a few hours to explore the city. - Guide was well versed with the history, culture and pulse of the city. We actually had a driver and guide (2 people) who occupied the front seat. The vehicle was a mid size car, well maintained and clean. We booked for two seniors and one teen. Our teen was 14 and almost adult size so the back seat was a bit tight for three normal sized adults - sometime to be aware of when booking. We made it work and had a great time.

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?
