Ecuador

Andrea V.

Hi there! I’m a tour guide and explorer based in the Central Andes of Ecuador. Over the years, I’ve explored mountains, trails, and hidden routes connecting the Andes with the Coast and the Amazon—by 4x4, bike, public transport, and even on foot. Living here has given me the chance to build a real connection with local communities, nature, and the culture that makes this region so special. I also bring nearly 15 years of experience working on cultural projects, museums, and heritage spaces in Quito and across Ecuador, which adds depth and context to every tour. Alongside classic destinations like Otavalo, Mitad del Mundo, Quilotoa, Papallacta, and Mindo, I love creating experiences with a fresh perspective—taking you beyond the usual spots into beautiful, lesser-known places. For me, traveling is about truly experiencing a place, not just visiting it.

Cecilia P.

Hola, amigos! I’m Cecilia, a certified Ecuadorian National Guide. Ecuador is my home and a place that I adore showing to people from all over the world. I may be biased, but I think there’s something special about the nature, landscapes, and people of this beautiful place. I’ve spent the last 10+ years working in the tourism industry in Quito and beyond. I’ve assisted international guests in creating perfect itineraries, managing all the logistics, and showing them the most captivating and off-the-beaten-path locales of my country (and Latin America as a whole). I work with my clients to personalize trips that check all the boxes on their Ecuador bucket list. Everything we offer is fully customizable, as we offer comfortable group and private tours. Our private options are totally catered to your unique adventure. Our #1 goal is to create immersive, all-encompassing experiences that show you the true Ecuador in all its beauty. So, we invite you to join us and can’t wait to meet you.

Vivian V.

Hi, I’m Vivian and would love to tour you. I am the 4th licensed guide in Ecuador history, 54 years old and have toured for 32 years well over 8,000 travelers with nothing but highest reviews, over 4,000 positive comments letters on file. I am Ecuador’s longest serving, licensed guide and a commercially trained and licensed safe driver, never an accident, never a client hurt on tour. I am one of four elected, unpaid officers running our National Tour Guide Association. I tour all of Ecuador with specialties in and around the Quito, Mindo, Otavalo, Cotopaxi, Quilotoa, Banos areas as well as the Amazon. I used to be a tour leader for the Galapagos. I tour from one to fifty clients. I can change/adjust your tours right “on the fly” as we go along, am that flexible; my tours are not set in concrete. I am a U.S. Citizen as well as native Ecuadorian, part Andes indian. The guide you choose will be the difference in your day and trip. I have a happy disposition and many say I was like being with a, highly knowledgeable on Ecuador, friend. See on this site my excellent standard tours; I also can make Custom Tours for you. My average response time to letters is less than three hours, often immediate if not out on tour.
