I’m committed to making your visit unforgettable by showcasing the stunning landscapes, rich culture, and vibrant contrasts of my country. I can also arrange transportation for any group size and provide personalized advice on activities, accommodations, and more.

We had a custom made tour and it matched our expectations. Javier gave us hotel suggestions upfront and that was a good choice. Great lunches in restaurants with local food. His car was in perfect condition. He told us a lot about his country. Overall it was a great trip
Javier was our guide for a tour of the Avenue of the Volcanos in Ecuador. My wife and I have traveled all over the world, but have never had such a wonderful travel experience in our lives as we had with Javier. He is a young man of extraordinary ability, intelligence, and friendliness. He designs trip with his guests in mind — local markets, artist studios, great restaurants that you would never find on your own and the best hotels. With Javier as your guide, you will have the time of your life.
Javier was our guide for 5 days traveling from Guayaquil, through Cuenca and north to Quito. We learned so much about Ecuador from Javier; its agriculture, history, politics, culture, educational system. An amazing driver, patient, careful. He knows many artisans and seemed to seek out the extraordinary in his country to show us. I am confident, if you find yourself in Ecuador and need a guide, you will be thrilled if it is Javier. Thank you Javier for making this one of our most memorable trips.
We had a wonderful time as a family with two children 8 and 10 years old. Javier was excellent and adjusted things as needed. He was able to accommodate our different requests seamlessly. He is very knowledgeable on many different topics (geology, history (past and present), culture) , as well as has a great sense of humor. We would highly recommend him for adults and or families.
Javier was an exceptional tour guide. He is kind, knowledgeable, friendly, easy to be with, and created an amazing experience for us as we traveled between Cuenca and Quito. I appreciate everything he did for us.
