    My husband and I have just completed a 10 day "Jewels of Andes" tour of Ecuador. We opted for a private version of the tour. Alejandro of GuideEcuador Travel was an excellent guide and tour manager. He anticipated our needs, accommodated our requests for itinerary modifications and meal preferences and all in all made our visit to Ecuador a great experience. Ecuador is a beautiful country and its people are genuinely nice. We really enjoyed discovering Ecuador with Alejandro of GuideEcuador Travel. It was an unforgettable experience!

    Asked on June 26th, 2024

    I would like to book a group tour that is guarantee starting on July 22 when I arrive in Ecuador. I don't want to do a solo trip and pay a huge supplement fee. But I will pay supplement in a group tour. I just need to know if the trip is guarantee date. Looks like all the trips I've asked so far for July 22 are not guaranteed.

    Rosemary

    Asked on May 15th, 2023

    Will the tour be in Spanish or in English? I'm a female solo traveler, would it be possible to share a twin room with a fellow female solo traveler? Would it be possible to arrange the arrival transfer from the airport in Quito to the hotel? Would it be possible to have an early check-in at the hotel? The tour ends in Quito, correct? Would it be possible to arrange a couple of nights post-tour accommodation in Quito?

      Are there any tour departures on August 15th, 16th, 17th or 18th? I'd prefer to share with a fellow traveler.

    • GUIDEcuador TravelOperatorWritten June 2023

      For August we don't have any dates as a group tour. The only way to guarantee participation is by adding the single supplement price of USD 1050. Most bookings are currently private or require a minimum of 2 people for group rate.

    Tour Details
    • GUIDEcuador TravelOperatorWritten October 2022

      Yes we can allocate 3 people in a room if need it. We consider child under 12 years old, so in this case is the same adult rate for everyone. Yes you can customize the tour if need it for an additional price. By now we are operating all of our tours almost in private for the same price published. So if you decided to book this tour it will be just you 3.
