Hello dear travelers, my name is Danny. I've worked about 6 years in travel agencies organizing tours around Ecuador and now I've been working for the past 7 years as a freelance guide. I have extensive knowledge guiding on the 4 different regions of Ecuador (coast, mountains, jungle, and Galapagos Islands), I believe experience is one of the best factors in tourism in order to offer the best service and reach out the goal that are the smile and welfare of my passengers. Besides being a tour guide I maintain a constant qualification in ecological and anthropological subjects. I am convinced tourism is the best way to build bridges of respect and brotherhood among cultures. I have had the opportunity to lead groups of different and varied interests all over the country. One of the hobbies that I have is the practice of hiking and trekking around my country. The geography of my country is one of the most difficult ones, because we live surrounded by mountains and volcanoes. I would really be very excited to show you the riches of one of the most biodiverse countries in America. -National Tourism Guide Degree issued by Tegnologico de Turismo y Hoteleria Internacional ITHI.

We were lucky enough to have Danny for two tours on consecutive days. The second day was Cotopaxi. My family had such a great time and Danny was a big part of that. Cotapaxi was spectacular. Danny is very knowledgeable and professional. His English is great. Would definitely recommend and I would hire him again if I come back to Quito.

Danny is a great guide. He is knowledgeable, competent, cheerful and friendly and a very careful driver. Although ours was not a birdwatching tour, Danny came equipped with binoculars and kept an eye out for birds of interest when he led us on a walk around Limpiopungo Lagoon. The drive up Cotopaxi is rather hair raising, but we felt completely safe with Danny. He is a pleasant companion. We would definitely go on another tour with Danny.

Danny was a great guide. We visited Cotapaxi with the goal of hiking and exploring the volcano. He read us perfectly and gave us a challenging and very satisfying hike to the base lodge. Danny's English is excellent and he is very knowledgable about nature and culture. We thoroughly enjoyed our day. I would also add that he was very responsive about arranging for a larger vehicle to accommodate 4 tall passengers. Roger T.
