Hi my name is Gustavo, dad of three and husband to my beautiful wife. I have been in the tour guiding world for more than 15 years, showing tourists the highlights of Manta city and the Manabi province. I specialize in local tours to off-the-grid places and shore excursions for cruise ships. My passion is traveling and discovering unique places, which has led me to encounter beautiful towns, communities, landscapes, foods, flavors, and cultural experiences. My ultimate goal as a tour guide is to provide you with an unparalleled local experience. I strive to showcase the best that the region has to offer, and to give you a more personal look at the local culture. I aim to be the best local tour guide you've ever had during your cruise ship tour and provide you with an experience you will never forget. Sincerely, Gustavo Local Tour Guide 15 years experience in guiding tours in the Manabi province in Ecuador -My car can fit up to 3-4 people comfortably. Please inquire for larger groups.

A taste of Manta and its whereabouts in one day!
Overview of your Manta tour
Manta and its whereabouts are color, culture, flavors, and history. On this tour, you'll enjoy the highlights of the largest tuna fishing port in South America, including its local fish market and local artisan boatyard. When in Montecristi, your eyes will brighten with the work of the finest artisans of Toquilla Straw Sombreros (aka. Panama Hats). While at National Reserve "Pacoche" you'll enjoy the mystic sounds of howler monkeys and observe this forest's unique flora and fauna to have a closer experience with nature and enchant your senses. To top off this fantastic tour, you will have the opportunity to enjoy a 5-course meal with a local fusion cuisine chef, featuring Manta's delicious local dishes and fresh ingredients. Take this time to learn from it all and enhance your appreciation of this South American destination, on a tour you will remember. My goal is to make your stop in Manta - Ecuador one of the most memorable moments of your cruise ship tour.
