Guayaquil city tour with a local - Private Tour

Lilian was an awesome guide. She arrived on time, stayed long enough to cover everything we wanted to do and did not rush us. She walked with us to all the places on our list and had the cards for the Aerovia cable car to make it easy to purchase the tickets. She told us about which places were safe and kept us away from places that were not safe. She even took us to a great souvenir shop and helped us with the shopping. She went out of the way to recommend vegan restaurants we should try! She also told us of a safe walking route to go see the giant monkey statue (Estatua Del Mono Machín) within walking distance of the hotel but in the median of the Juan Javier Marcos y Aguirre road on the way to the airport. Every attraction on our list was a hit and worthy of the visit - the 444 steps through Las Penas neighborhood to El Faro, the lighthouse, the cable car ride from Malecon to Duran and back to Cathedral, the nearby Cathedral, the Iguana park on the way to the Municipal building and the plaza in front, the Art University all opposite the Malecon, the semicircle Rotonda monument and the 2 things we did on our own - the walk to the giant monkey statue (Estatua Del Mono Machín) and the evening walk along the Malecon near our Wyndham Santa Ana hotel. Remember to wear full sleeves and long pants to stay safe from the bugs near the river eager for human blood as you walk the Malecon in the evening or sit out to eat an eatery off Malecon.

Allyson was very knowledgeable about the area and she lives here. We especially loved riding the aerial cable car with her and seeing the city from above. Her English is great and very easy to understand. She also does other tours throughout Ecuador.

Great tour of the city, very accommodating. Picked us up at our B&B on time and dropped us off right at the door. We were somewhat hesitant about coming to Ecuador, especially Guayaquil, after the news stories in January. We decided to come and risk it, but I will just say that at No Time did we ever feel unsafe in the slightest. Security/police everywhere, and the people were so kind and welcoming. Tourism is really down because of it, and that’s just a shame.

We had a great time with our Guayaquil tour. Allyson was very knowledgeable and led us around the sites of the city without any issues. Would recommend if you have a few hours to get this tour to see the sites.

Allison was spectacular listening to our interests and showing local attractions with exploring. She guided us to local delicacies including coffees and chocolate. Not to be missed are food and coffee at La Mula Ciega

My goal for this trip was to visit and become in touch with my ancestry. Allyson knew exactly what to do. She helped me discover what Ecuador was and is as a country and instilled pride. Along the way Allyson becomes more than a guide and you can see how in love she is with Ecuador. Her love and passion for Ecuador becomes contagious. She makes me want to come back and learn more about Ecuador. She’s the only guide I will ever need in Ecuador. She’s the real deal. I wish every country I visited had someone like Allyson guiding me.

Tivemos a alegria de encontrar o Cristopher como nosso guia , que além de falar português dominou com muito conhecimento as explicações e apresentações dos lugares e da história de Guayaquil , além de nos dar um norte para seguirmos o nosso passeio e desfrutar a cidade.

En estos dias visite junto con mi hijo a Guayaquil , y para conocer la cuidad contratamos esta empresa para que nos de un recorrido una parte en carro y otra parte a pie, Allysson fue nuestro guia, una chica muy dulce y muy profesional . La verdad que la cuidad es muy linda pero es necesario tener un local que nos indique la historia real de su independencia y su desarrollo comercial . Una cuidad rodeada de agua con temperatura super agradable. Allyson de mucha ayuda para hacer mi recorrido gastronómico al final del tour. se los recomiendo.

Alysson fue una guía ideal para todo el recorrido que tuvimos en Ecuador. Siempre estuvo dispuesta y con la mejor disposición para el trabajo. Nos mostró sitios turísticos, gastronómicos y de la cultura ecuatoriana. De mi parte queda agradecerle toda la atención y el tiempo dedicado.
