José R.
Hello I'm José. Welcome to Ecuador! Would you like to discover my country with a driver/guide (4×4 vehicle). I studied Tourism at universities of different countries in Europe and South America and have more than 25 years of experience in guiding visitors. We can climb together the glacier capped mountains of the Andes, discover the secrets of the tropical rainforest in the Amazon, stroll around in Spanish styled colonial cities, we can visit active volcanoes, trek around crater lakes, interact with indigenous families and immerse to their culture and traditions, relax on sandy beaches or dive with turtles and colorful reef fishes. The opportunities are endless! Due to my activity in tourism I already travelled to more than 50 countries in all 7 continents of the world and this enables me to compare plants or animals we likely will see in Ecuador with them in other parts of the world. The mentality of visitors from Asia is different from the mentality of European guests, North Americans expect other things than travelers from Latin America. If you contact me, I'm sure we will meet just YOUR INTERESTS AND EXPECTATIONS of your holidays in Ecuador! I provide you with a customized itinerary, just for your interests! Ecuador is one of the smallest, but the most diverse country of South America and your starting point Quito, recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Site is the most beautiful capital of Latin America. And the best: All our highlights you can enjoy in driving distance! Why are you waiting? Contact me!

I’m Tim, a passionate tour guide originally from the Netherlands, and I’ve been living and working in Ecuador since 2010. What started as a love for travel and adventure turned into a full-time career helping others explore one of the most diverse and beautiful countries in the world. With over a decade of experience, I offer both private and group tours across Ecuador – from the snow-capped Andes to the tropical Amazon rainforest, and from the highland markets to the Pacific beaches. Whether you’re looking for a multi-day adventure or a short getaway, I design each trip to match your interests and pace. I’m based in Quito and offer personalized day tours to stunning locations nearby, including: • Mindo – a lush cloud forest full of birds, waterfalls, and adventure activities • Cotopaxi – home to one of the world’s highest active volcanoes and amazing hiking • Otavalo – famous for its indigenous market, Andean culture, and beautiful lakes As your personal driver and guide, I’ll make sure everything runs smoothly – from transportation and timing to local tips and hidden gems you won’t find in a guidebook. I speak fluent Dutch, English, and Spanish, and I enjoy sharing both well-known sights and off-the-beaten-path experiences with travelers from all over the world.

“We saw everything! ”
Gustavo is an excellent guide. He asked us about our interests and planned the day around those. We got to see the cloud forest from the cable car, we saw an orchid farm, hummingbirds, how chocolate is made and had a nice local lunch. He is very knowledgeable on the history and all of the animals. We absolutely recommend him !
