About Tour Guide 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!
Important

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.
