The best travel trips

  All I can say is well worth it. Alejandro Was very knowledgable and helped me out with a lot of the Translation. I would recommended this again for sure.

  We decided to squeeze in a short Quito Town Tour and A short hike to Cotopaxi. Since we didn’t speak Spanish, we really appreciated Alejandro who replied quickly and did… read more an English speaking tour for us. Our booking experience with him was so smooth and reliable that we decided to take on another tour he suggested (Whale Watching in Puerto Lopez) to do after our Galápagos trip. We are so happy because he customized our travel itinerary for us to be able to experience Ecuador in such a short amount of time we had in between our trips. He is very knowledgeable and even assisted us with booking the hotels and flights we had to do. We do highly recommend to take him for your travels in Latin America. We hope to book him soon for our future travels too.

  GuideEcuador was absolutely the best decision I made when choosing to travel solo during the pandemic in May 2021. Specifically, what stood out the most to me was the business… read more owner and personal tour guide – Alejandro. He is literally the definition of continually delighting a customer – through his professionalism, trustworthiness, reliability, knowledge-sharing, work ethic, vast social network, responsiveness, and experience. I did not have to worry about one-detail – everything was done and planned and thought about in advance to the tee…while road-tripping through the Amazon with Alejandro (I was the only one on our which was really cool!), I learned a great about him and his country/heritage, which is he most proud of. Alejandro has over 20 years of guide experience, has been to the Galapagos over 200 times, has his MBA in hospitality, and was born and raised in Ecuador. He customized trips to meet the traveler needs versus the cookie cutter group packages so that travelers have a huge say in their dates and excursions (versus those that lack flexibility and optionality). Alejandro instills this flexible, go with the flow mindset, humble, reliable, strong work ethic in his employees as well so you can truest just relax and enjoy the ride. He even had personal covid testers on call to meet me at hotels which were required for Galapagos and US re-entry. Alejandro really listens to details, pays attention to small comments, and treats everyone with kindness and respect (reminded me of Australian poppyseed culture). He told me the story of one time he hiked 2 hours round trip and skipped dinner in order to get cell reception so that he could honor his work and get back to his prospective customers. Hotels, excursions, and staff were top-notch. I felt like Alejandro had my back and put my experience and safety first. I had the absolute best time and only have GuideEcuador to thank! I would love to do the Colombia trip soon and to likewise return the favor if you or your staff ever find yourself in San Diego!

  I highly recommend this tour! It’s active but not strenuous, covers a lot, and Alex was friendly and knowledgeable throughout. It felt nice to have a blend of parks and… read more the city, stopping along the way for photos, explanations and history, sweeping city views and gelato on a balcony.

  Alejandro from GUIDEcuador coordinated a fantastic 15 day trip through Colombia on short notice and was with me every step of the way. Travelling during COVID can get complicated… read more but Alejandro handled everything flawlessly. When one of the cities on my itinerary was shut down due to COVID precautions, he quickly created an alternative plan that I thought was even better than the original plan. You won’t go wrong with GUIDEcuador. They’ll keep you safe, busy and satisfied. I highly recommend Alejandro.

  Our Ecuador trip / tour was way beyond expectations and Alejandro was the BEST! Our trip was something new and exciting each day and the accommodations were exceptional. … read more We were one of the first groups traveling since the pandemic began and we felt warmly welcomed everywhere we went. Alejandro was a friend to all and was so conscientious of the needs of the local people and businesses while catering to our needs and wants to make a truly memorable vacation. He even arranged for a surprise birthday cake and specially tailored cooking class just for us! Each day was customized and flexible to our busy schedule!

  I had the pleasure of meeting Alex and having his as my private guide for the day to Cotopaxi Park, where we hiked up to Cotopaxi’s base camp (so cool!… read more NOT easy but worth it!!) followed by an easy 2 mile walk around a beautiful lagoon and then lunch at a great hotel in the park. Highly recommend Alex for any of his tours. He is very knowledgeable about all things South America, super professional, and an easy person to spend the day with!

  I can’t speak highly enough of our experience with GuideEcuador. I did this tour with my wife and both my Mom and Dad who are in their 60’s. … read more From our arrival at the airport in Quito all the way up until our departure, we always felt safe and well taken care of. At no point did we ever feel unsafe or stressed from the itinerary, despite traveling during Covid. The day to day schedule was always full with new adventures and surprises better than we could have imagined. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and professional and planned unique adventures every day custom to us that were way above and beyond our expectations. We also stayed in beautiful accommodations that were located in perfect locations which always made us feel comfortable and in awe. One thing that stood out to me was how the guide truly was an ambassador for his country and people, going above and beyond to not only give us a once in a lifetime adventure, but also doing so in a sustainable way that supported the local economy. He truly seemed to care about his people. If you are looking for an immersive adventure vacation seeing some amazing places in Ecuador, I can’t recommend GuideEcuador enough! My family and I have traveled all over the world together, and this tour in Ecuador was one of our favorites due to the variety of climates, culture, and geography. Look no further, if you’re looking to do a trip to Ecuador, you’ve found your tour company! And if you’re looking for something more custom, GuideEcuador is very willing and able to customize the itinerary to whatever your preferences are.

  Alejandro was our guide for the trip. When we were done with our trip I felt as if I had known forever. He was our amigo. Great job

  If you’re looking for a fun trip to do whether it’s adventurous or with your family, Alex has the perfect trip for you. He is the owner, professional and speaks… read more very good English and made our 10 day tour experience an amazing trip. We traveled during COVID and felt totally safe. We got to do all the activities we planned to do and then some fun surprises as well. It was easy to get in and out of the country and Alex even helped us arrange our COVID tests to get back into the US. We customized the bucket list tour. We got to stay in some AMAZING places from a place right on the Napo River in the jungle you had to take a canoe to and an old historic horse ranch and a place surrounded by hot springs and beautiful Mountain Views. I loved the variety of places you got to stay at and see on the tour and how people of all activity levels would enjoy doing it. I recommend contacting Alex directly to book a trip so you get it at a better rate than a third party agency and you’re able to ask him questions or customize it like we did by adding some activities like a cooking class and additional time, etc. He will ensure you enjoy your experience and also has tours to the Galapagos and Columbia, etc. Highly recommend!
