On time pick up from our hotel. Tour around the highlights of the city. Guide was very knowledgeable and personable but the city itself is just not that scenic.

With fluent English and a natural ability to connect with travelers of all ages, I’m fully committed to excellent service, ethical work, and punctuality. I’m also a dedicated tourism entrepreneur, crafting private, purpose-driven experiences for curious travelers. Outside guiding, I practice yoga, enjoy paddleboarding, and love dancing salsa.

First time in Guayaquil or heading to Galapagos tomorrow? This is the perfect experience! Together, we'll explore a city known for its kindness, vibrant commerce, and the unique story of an Independence movement born right here. I’ll share local anecdotes, hidden details, and the transformation Guayaquil has lived through, in its architecture and in the spirit of its people. At the end of our walk, a private vehicle will be waiting to take you to your chosen location, leaving us with a shared story to remember. I look forward to welcoming you. Remember that a portion of this tour supports a local foundation in Guayaquil. Your Tourism Experience Concierge, Allyson

In making these arrangements, Allyson wrote me to treat her as my friend in Guayaquil. In fact, she was like a best friend. The tour was amazing. She made everything run smoothly and led our family on a terrific tour of the Cocoa farm. We made our own chocolate and had a delicious farm to table lunch while the chocolate was cooling. We loved the city tour which she adjusted per our request as it was a long day - our first in the country. She is a lovely woman and has perfect English. She is extremely knowledgeable about her city and country. She went above and beyond by helping us arrange airport transfers both leaving Guayaquil and on our return. I do feel as if I have a friend in Guayaquil and would recommend her to anyone looking for the perfect guide while visiting.
Alyson is an excellent guide. Her English is top notch & knowledge of the city & the country’s history is masterful. In addition she is a very nice person that we enjoyed interacting with.
We had a very short time in Guayaquil but Allyson did a great job of showing us her city. We visited the cathedral, which rivaled many I've seen in Europe, iguanas in the city park, a stroll through the city, a stop for some local juice drinks, a visit to a chocolate factory, a stroll along theMalacon 2000, and finally a visit to the Musuem of ancient artifacts. Our time in the city could not have been better spent. Allyson was a wonderful guide, knowledgeable and informative about the history of Ecuador and Guayaquil. Highly recommend!
Great experience. Covered everything we set out to do and ended our day with a lovely dinner at Casa Julian. Highly recommend Allyson as a guide. She is very knowledgeable and friendly.
Allyson was an amazing guide. She was very knowledgeable and spoke English clearly. She tailored the tour to our activity level and the weather conditions, opting for a cable car ride in the heat of the day, and walking when it was cooler. She seemed to know everyone in town, and even made a phone call that allowed us to see an area of the church which had just closed. Our cruise ship was having an issue with the port and our arrival back to the ship was delayed by port authorities. She even made phone calls to help us with that!! She then followed up with us to make sure we made it onto the ship. She certainly went beyond any other tour guide we’ve ever had.
