Unique Tours in Guayaquil

The Best of Ecuador & Galapagos 12 Days / 11 Nights

Just book it

My friend and I did a customized private tour across Quito, the Amazon, Banos, and two islands in the Galapagos. Rodney was our tour guide on the mainland and he was by far the best. I cannot recommend him enough. Everyday we knew exactly what we were doing and what we needed to prepare for regarding weather, terrain, and difficulty. Once we left the mainland for the islands, it wasn't as smooth. There were a lot more people involved and less communication, but I think that may just be how it works in the islands. So worth it regardless. I highly recommend!

Cocoa and Tropical Fruits Farm with Fine Chocolate Experience

A Whole New Appreciation for Chocolate. From farm to chocolate bar this was amazing!

This cacao farm visit was an absolute highlight of our trip and easily one of our favorites. Touring a working cacao farm with more than 30 different fruit trees was both fascinating and inspiring. We learned so much about the agricultural side of cacao—from the different plant varieties and harvesting methods to bean processing and the chocolate-making process. One of the most interesting things we learned was that cacao can absorb aromas from neighboring fruit trees, which is why the farm is planted with such incredible biodiversity—vanilla, lime, orange, mango, and so much more. This diversity gives each farm its own unique flavor fingerprint, something we had never considered before and now deeply appreciate. The experience was educational, immersive, and truly heaven for chocolate lovers. To top it all off, the family who runs the farm welcomed us with incredible hospitality and prepared a delicious lunch in their home, making the day even more special. If you have an extra day and want to explore inland beyond Guayaquil, this experience is a must. We left with a whole new appreciation for chocolate and a deeper understanding of how to savor and taste it properly. Huge thanks to our guide Eddy and our wonderful hosts, Rody and Alexa—they were amazing.

Half Day City Tour in Manta and Montecristi Landmarks

Wonderful tour of Manta and Montecristi

This tour was quite interesting of Manta, the “tuna” capital, but the best part was visiting the hat museum in Montecristi where we were able to learn and see the making of a Panama hat- very informative and what an art! We were also able to tour Casa Rosada where we also had coffee and the best empanadas!
