Hi my name is Gustavo, dad of three and husband to my beautiful wife. I have been in the tour guiding world for more than 15 years, showing tourists the highlights of Manta city and the Manabi province. I specialize in local tours to off-the-grid places and shore excursions for cruise ships. My passion is traveling and discovering unique places, which has led me to encounter beautiful towns, communities, landscapes, foods, flavors, and cultural experiences. My ultimate goal as a tour guide is to provide you with an unparalleled local experience. I strive to showcase the best that the region has to offer, and to give you a more personal look at the local culture. I aim to be the best local tour guide you've ever had during your cruise ship tour and provide you with an experience you will never forget. Sincerely, Gustavo Local Tour Guide 15 years experience in guiding tours in the Manabi province in Ecuador -My car can fit up to 3-4 people comfortably. Please inquire for larger groups.

Hi Virginia, thank you for your kind words. I had an excellent time touring for you, Bod and Judy!
What a wonderful day with Gustavo! Our tour of the local fish market, the nature preserve, the civic center in Montecristi, capped by a fabulous five star lunch at Hotel Balandra’s restaurant El Faro made for a great overview of Manta and environs. It was thoroughly enjoyable! We highly recommend Gustavo. 😁
