    We selected the Discover Ecuador Tour (17 days) with GuideEcuador Travel for the multiday itinerary, which offers a more in-depth knowledge of Ecuador than other related tours, and for the excellent “value-for-Money” price. It was a wise choice and we had a wonderful experience. The preliminary contacts with Guide Ecuador company were very helpful. They answered promptly to all of our questions and the details of the tour were thoroughly explained. The tour itinerary is wisely planned; we visited the best of the country (one needs weeks and months for experiencing this beautiful country), the Sierra, the Amazon Jungle and the Coast. The hotels, hostels and the Amazon Lodge that we stayed in were excellent Some of them were top class, with rich buffet breakfast, but even the not luxurious ones had a local color and a colonial ambiance, plus they were clean and spacious. Amazon Liana Lodge offered very tasteful and nutritious lunch and dinner from selected local cuisine. Some electric light in the cabins (say 1 hour only at the evening) would be more convenient without destroying the “close to nature” feeling. This tour is a private one and our guide Daniel Maldonado was one of the best guides we ever had. Daniel was very helpful and caring for us. Excellent with English speaking. He had a lot of proposals for activities, excursions and local cuisine. Daniel has amazing knowledge about Ecuador’s history, places, cultures, food. He is a top-class naturalist knowing everything about animals, plants and their uses. He is a joyful company and we had a lot of fun He left space for us and our privacy. We fully appreciate the professionalism and concern of “Guide Ecuador Travel”. When our return flight to Quito was cancelled due to airline ‘s responsibility (Avianca), Guide Ecuador compensated us for the ticket fee and also provided taxi transportation to Quito free of charge!! This tour was a top experience offered by a trusty and responsible tour operator, GuideEcuador Travel, and we highly recommend it! Stelios and Gerie

    we would just like to thank you guys (Guidecuador) for the great service received and the brilliant excursions. We really enjoyed our short breaks and feel that we saw so much more by taking your Ecuador Trip. We were collected each day from our hotels and dropped off at the end of each hike. The driver Luis and Marcelo our guide, were informative and helpful. We had a great time in your beautiful country.
