Great tour of the city - My friend and I travelled to Ecuador in 2016. We landed in Guayaquil and spent two days before touring the country. We did the half day tour of Guayaquil and had a great Time! Yamil picked up up and we toured the chocolate plantation - where we saw fresh coco beans and many wildlife. From there we went into the Las Penas (old town). We walked all the way up to the light house which had great views of the city. Highly recommend a tour with Yamil - he was an awesome tour guide

Perfect day for participants of any age! - Cooking a full authentic lunch and learning all about the different fruits and crops on the farm filled a jam packed day. We left totally fulfilled mentally and in our bellies.

Organic farm and making chocolate from scratch - Yamil and Wendy picked me up at my hotel. We then drove out to an organic plantation. As a gardener in Florida I was interested in their plants and techniques. After touring (and tasting) the different fruits we roared chocolate seeds and made them into chocolate. Fascinating and informative tour by super nice and knowledgeable people. They happily answered all my questions and seemed genuinely happy to share their experience. It was also nice to get out of the city and see the herons, hawks and other birds in abundance on the way. You can also by organic chocolate and products from them while you are there so bring some cash. The tour experience was all I hoped for and so much more. I highly recommend Viasom and this tour in general (especially if you are interested in gardening or how chocolate is made!)

Our favorite experience in Ecuador! - The most amazing tour of our 10 day trip to Ecuador! I highly recommend this tour. Yamil is a kind and funny tour guide. The farm is beautiful and run by the most amazing family! This was the highlight of my trip to Ecuador. A great time! Thanks to Yamil, Wendi, and the family at Finca Cumanda for the wonderful experience!
