Hi! Welcome to Ecuador — a multi-colored, multi-flavored and mega-biodiverse country. In just a few words: Magical Ecuador. I have been a professional tour guide since 1987, specializing in tailor-made private tours designed around your interests, pace and travel style. My background as a Naturalist Guide in the Galapagos Islands shaped my passion for wildlife, ecology and authentic experiences. My goal is simple: to share each journey as an adventure, making you feel as if you are traveling with a friend. Whether you are interested in nature, birdwatching, photography, landscapes, history or local traditions, I personally design and guide every experience. I look forward to welcoming you to Guayaquil and sharing Ecuador with you through a truly personalized journey.

Overview of your Guayaquil tour

My trip is NOT for everyone; it is for curious travelers who seek authenticity, exclusive access, and experiences beyond conventional catalogs After this trip, the participant will become a traveler who not only visited Guayaquil but experienced it from within, with stories, flavors, and connections that will stay with them for life” Yes, ALL the main attractions of the city are visited: Parque Seminario, Malecon 2000, Barrio Las Peñas, Santa Ana hill, Calle Panamá, The Municipal Palace, The Clock Tower all of these but seen from a: “walking around with an old friend” point of view. I am an experienced naturalist guide, join me and visit "Gateway to the Galapagos Islands". Why do I love my town? It is full of nice surprises all the time. The sunsets are gorgeous, the weather's warm and yet breezy in the afternoon. So, it is quite comfortable to walk around in light clothes.

Eduardo was fantastic! We’re just reviewing our trip (we spent a day in Guayaquil prior to departure for the Galapagos) and are stunned at how much we did and saw w Eduardo. Highly recommended without hesitation. What a fantastic introduction to Ecuador, Guayaquil, and the Galapagos.

Eddie is amazing. His knowledge and love for his home of Ecuador is second to no one. While he was showing me his city, he was sharing all the unique history of Ecuador. He tailored the trip to my specific photography interests while not missing any of Guayaquil's beautiful highlights. Eddie's personality only enhanced the tour more. Thank you Eddie for a wonderful excursion through your beloved city.

Eddie's Guayaquil City Half Day tour exceeded all our expectations. He carefully selected the city's highlights, making it a wonderful tour for both of us. We would take a tour with Eddie again without any reservations.

Eduardo is a great tour guide who took extremely good care of us. Helped buffer some undesirables from getting close to us. What a fun educational day. Thank you.

Eddie is a genuinely warm person, flexible, well spoken and knowledgeable. Explains concepts simply. Able to adapt our requests into a fantastic tour above expectations. Along with his able driver, easy handling of our wheelchair allowed us to traverse city streets and ascend a panoramic hilltop. We enjoyed the renowned tuna soup, freshly made chocolate, a visit to a park devoted to Jerusalem's history, views of numerous outdoor murals and riverfront park. The area's connection to Galapogas was explained.

Excellent Eddie! Wow, what a fun afternoon with Eduardo. He is a Guayaquil native who loves his hometown. He knows every street corner, every statue, every park, every plant, every bird, every piece of history - he knows everything! And, he tells stories with enthusiasm, and humor. He was very well organized. Plus, he has travelled extensively, and was able to describe similarities between Guayaquil and other cities throughout the world. This is what he does - he is a world class ambassador.
