Ecuador Private Tour Guides

“A Day to Remember in Colonial Quito”

Mauricio was an excellent tour guide. He took us to several places that were not on the original tour, such as the Army Social Club. He used quick thinking to alter his planned itinerary, when we mentioned that we wanted to see the gargoyles at the Basilica. His English was excellent and his knowledge of Quito and its history astounding. He had incredible stories that we will never forget. Mauricio told us over and over to keep our valuables safe and protected, since there were large crowds due to the Spring Solstice festivities. Unfortunately, my husband was pick-pocketed twice, losing both his phone and his wallet. Mauricio quickly went into protective mode, taking us to a quiet place so that my husband could cancel his credit cards and disable his phone. He took us to the police station and was willing to stay with us for time well beyond the original tour guidelines. He was absolutely amazing and professional. We will recommend him to anyone we know heading to South America. We were so grateful for his care.

Dear Raylene and Frank, thank you so much for your wonderful review. The pickpocketing incident was unfortunate but, as you saw, Ecuador is safe overall and worthwhile visiting. I’m glad you enjoyed and appreciated my work and hope you’ll recommend me and Ecuador.

“A Fabulous Day with Hummingbirds, the Rainforest, and the Equator”

We had the absolutely best day with Liz D. She was so knowledgable, and outgoing, and accommodating. We learned so much, and had an incredible experience… feeding hummingbirds from our hand, hiking along the Alambi river, seeing how coffee plants start and learning how the beans are harvested. Our trip to the Equator Museum, was equally as enjoyable. We loved the hands-on activities, and we especially got a kick about the lesson on head-shrinking. The guides at Cero Latitud were so much fun, were loaded with information to share, and had such energy. We would go with Liz D. on another tour, in a heartbeat.

“Exceptional Guide, Incredible Trip”

We had an incredible experience exploring Ecuador with Andrea as our guide. Over the course of our tour to Cotopaxi, Quilotoa, and Baños, she truly made the entire journey unforgettable. Andrea is extremely knowledgeable, passionate, and attentive—she provided valuable insights about each destination that we would have never discovered on our own. Her explanations added so much depth and context, making the experience far more meaningful and complete. She also did a great job tailoring the pace and flow of the trip, ensuring we had enough time to fully enjoy each stop while keeping everything smooth and well-organized. A special thanks as well to Pablo, our driver, who was fantastic throughout the trip. He was friendly, professional, and shared interesting information along the way, making the long drives enjoyable and comfortable. Together, Andrea and Pablo make an outstanding team. We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore Ecuador in a more enriching and personalized way. It was truly one of the highlights of our trip!
