About Tour Guide 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.

Reviews

Personalized tour

Vivian picked us up from our hotel early in the morning, so that we could spend the entire day in Mindo. She skipped tourist traps and places we didn't care to see. She took us hiking, spotted birds, took us to a small chocolate factory, humming birds and butterflies. She is fun and upbeat. Lived in the U.S. as well as Ecuador. Highly recommend.
