Marco B.

Hi there! I’m thrilled to welcome you to Ecuador – a land of volcanoes, rich traditions, and incredible biodiversity. I’m a passionate and certified tour guide with years of experience leading travelers through the wonders of this unique country. Whether you’re looking to explore the colonial charm of Quito, hike across the high Andes, discover local indigenous markets, or delve into the natural beauty of cloud forests and national parks, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. What sets my tours apart is the personal connection I create with each guest. I don’t just show you the sights – I share the stories, the legends, and the cultural heartbeat of the people who live here. I love blending history, art, nature, and authentic local experiences to create meaningful and unforgettable journeys. I’m also deeply committed to sustainable tourism and supporting local communities, and I’m always happy to customize tours to your pace and interests – from cycling and trekking to gastronomy and wildlife observation. If you’re looking for a friendly, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic guide to discover the real Ecuador, I’d be honored to be part of your adventure. Let’s explore together!

“Exceptional Quito City Tour with Gustavo – A Day to Remember!”

Gustavo did such an amazing job with our small group of 3 that we booked him again with a larger group of 8 people. Our group of 8 was impressed by his charisma and depth of knowledge. From the start, Gustavo made us feel welcome. He balanced structure and spontaneity with ease. He accommodated our different interests and adjusted itinerary to include spontaneous stops that turned out to be group favorites. Whether you're a history buff, a culture enthusiast or a foodie, Gustavo is the guide who will make the trip unforgettable.

“Quito Old Town : Informative, Accommodating, and Flexible Tour”

Amanda met us at the airport, and tailored our tour to our desires (we stopped first at a local market to explore new fruits, foods, and flavors). She filled the entire day with interesting stories and bits of trivia, lugged our luggage around, gave us options at almost every step, and went with whatever we wanted. Transport from the airport to our hotel with a tour and extra stops based on questions asked during the day. We couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to Equador

Hello Kevin and family thanks for your great review, glad to know I was able to fulfill your expectations and had a good introduction day. I enjoyed my time with you all as well! Thanks again!
