Excellent start for exploring a new city - Guayaquil is a beautiful city with a long past, you really can get to know these things when you have someone along that knows all of this. My guide not only knew so much of the history of the city and country as a whole but also tailor made the tour to my needs, special places that I would like to visit, my interest (like local food and customs) were incorporated into the experience. If you want an excellent start to exploring Guayaquil then take this tour

Guayaquil - Tour guide/driver showed up 1/2 hour late. Did a decent job with the tour but cut it short from the stated length of our tour.

Very pleasurable - We loved this city, known as the 'pearl of the pacific', the largest city in Ecuador. The cobbled streets here are immaculately clean, no vandalism with lovely parks and plazas fringed with palms including an Iguana park. Everything about this city screams 'family and fun'. There are cable cars for pleasure and for ease of transportation for the locals, fair rides, stalls, markets, a plethora of good quality restaurants and everything is very reasonably priced. A lovely city divided into the new and old city which has lots of character. You can walk down the promenade and go on boat rides on the Guayas or just saunter around and take everything in your stride as the city feels very safe. There is a cathedral and light house with many steps leading to it if you want panoramic views of the city, but you can also get this from the boat rides also. Lovely city, highly recommended.
