- Ann· April 6th, 2021Alejandro was simply the BEST and made each and every day of our week long tour exceptional. He chose unbelievable accommodations that were unique and memorable and he knew the business owners and locals everywhere we went! Alejandro kept us on schedule so we could maximize our time there but remained flexible to meet the needs of our wanderlust and spur of the moment desires! We felt completely safe and "pampered" at all times. He is extremely knowledgeable of all things Ecuador, it's people, culture and environment.Show moreGUIDEcuador Travel commented on this reviewDear Ann, it was a pleasure to show your my country. Thank you for your words I hope to see you in south America once again. Take Care and saludos a todos.Trip date: January 2021
- JGJeremy· December 24th, 2019Alejandro took me and my partner on an 8 day tour around mainland Ecuador. We visited Quito, trekked through the beautiful Andes, climbed a volcano, biked down a volcano, explored the Amazon jungle, built a raft out of trees and floated down the river, relaxed at incredible hot springs, saw so many cool animals, learned about local cultures, experienced local markets, and were thrilled by canyoning and and rafting in Baños. Ecuador has so much to offer! Truly an incredible place to visit. Our entire tour was completely planned by GuidEcuador, and our guide Alejandro was the best we could have asked for! Everything was arranged for us, and he was so flexible to make our trip perfect for us. He allowed us to have such an amazing experience and took any and all stress of travelling and planning away. Alejandro and his crew are extremely knowledgable and were always striving to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying our time to the fullest. We ended up having a private tour, just my partner and I, and our guide toured us around the country in his personal SUV. He was a great driver, we always felt save, and were able to save so much time allowing us to experience so much more of what this beautiful country has to offer. Thank you Alejandro! I would highly recommend travelling with GuidEcuador through Ecuador, and we can’t wait to travel again to Colombia, Peru, and Galápagos with GurdEcaudor soon!Show moreGUIDEcuador Travel commented on this reviewDear Jeremy Thank you very much for your words , it help us growing. we look forward to meet you once again in South america.
