Guayaquil, a Living City - Half Day Tour

On this tour, I'll make you fall in love with Guayaquil and its surroundings, by visiting its squares & monuments, as well as walking along the banks of the majestic Guayas River. We'll go on a panoramic tour of some of Guayaquil's most iconic areas, all while travelling back in time through a city full of fascinating stories, such as that of the history of cacao. Was Guayaquil the cradle of the 20th-century chocolate trade? How did a small port manage to free itself from the Spanish colonial empire? Was the start of the current political division of South America forged here? What did Guayaquil have to do with Alexander Humboldt, Gustave Eiffel or Captain Morgan? You'll discover all of this, and more, with me. I'm passionate about urban tourism, and I'm convinced that before enjoying Ecuador's natural charms, like the Galapagos Islands, you should first visit its largest city, the pillar of today's society. So join me on this exciting tour and discover the magic of Guayaquil, "The Pearl of the Pacific".
