We really enjoyed the food and city walk tour presented by Allyson. Her passion for the local product is first class. The market experience was genuine as this is the market where she normally shops. We would highly recommend this tour.

First time here? This tour is for you! I have always thought that a place is best known for bites of local food, so I have designed this experience with my favorite places in the city. We'll find a city that emanates kindness and commerce in every corner of its downtown, also the history of an uncommon Independence born here. Many anecdotes and stories to tell from a local! Through the experience, a private vehicle will be available to take us to every location. At the end, part our ways with a shared story to tell. Looking forward to meeting you! Your Tourism Experience Concierge, Allyson

What a fabulous day! Allyson was a terrific guide. She listened to our requests and made sure we were safe and well taken care of all day. The mercado experience was truly amazing. We got a great snap shot of Quayaquil and excellent food. Thanks again for a wonderful day!
Our tour with Allyson was the perfect introduction to Guayaquil and to Ecuadorian food. Our five hour tour was the perfect mix of culture, history and gastronomic adventures. The highlight was the mercado where we were educated about so many of the foods of Ecuador, got to enjoy the most amazing encebollado and ceviche, and even got a selfie with the mayor, Aquiles Álvarez. We had been warned to 'be careful' in Guayaquil, but we felt 100% safe exploring the city streets and the local culture with Allyson, The tastes, the smells, the sounds and the energy of her city is infectious. We recommend Allyson highly. We would definitely call her again if we are ever back in Guayaquil.
Allyson was the perfect tour guide in Guayaquil. She was friendly, very knowledgeable and took us to taste some of the best food in the city! Highly recommended
Allyson was great! We got to experience the city more like a local than a tourist, at a casual pace and with great stops to savor the flavors and meet a few of the kind people of Guayaquil.
-We'll meet where you tell me. -We'll start at a local market to use our five senses through fruits, vegetables, plants, and if you want to taste a ceviche. - Then, Guayaquil Cathedral and the Seminary Park (Iguanas Park). -Walk to the Administration Square, home of Town Hall Palace, University of Arts Vulcano Forge monument (An ode to our liberation that hints at some Masonic secrets). The first stop begins in a fruit place for juices and typical coastal snacks. -We'll go to Malecón 2000, the city's main riverside attraction, and a detour to Panama Street for some chocolate or maybe a cup of wine (available on certain days). -Walk through the Las Peñas neighborhood, with architecture from the 1900s, and arrive at Puerto Santa Ana, a modern riverside neighborhood - We'll have a local food lunch at a local restaurant. -Drop off to your place
