Exotticca Guayaquil City tour - We arrived from the Galapagos late afternoon and Francisco greeted our large group with enthusiasm. A quick drive to start the tour in Parque Centenario, then a walk to Malecon2000 to walk along the boardwalk along the river. Francisco was extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic and made the entire group learn about the history of Guayaquil. We highly recommend Francisco. We hope to meet him again in the future as we plan to return to Ecuador in the future.

Best Guide in Guayaquil is Francisco Galvez with Protrip - We visited Ecuador in September 2025 and booked a day tour of Guayaquil with Francisco Galvez at Protrip. We loved his enthusiasm and knowledge of the history and culture of Ecuador and Guayaquil. He was prompt at picking us up from our hotel, he took us to places one must see in the city but also to spots that only locals would know, he matched our energy and sense of humour, he connected with us individually and had a contagious smile the entire duration of our tour. At the end of the day, not only did we know so much about the city, saw so many amazing things, got to know the history of the city, took incredible pictures and made a friend for life. We wish we had met Francisco earlier in our trip and had him as our guide throughout our 10 days stay in Ecuador. Highly recommend him and his company if you find yourself in Ecuador and you want a friendly person to make your trip memorable!

Get to know Guyaquil - Francisco Gálvez with Protrip was a great guide! He is extremely knowledgeable of the city and it's history, the buildings, and the trees, plants and animals. He provided us with a lot of ideas for things to do around the city and great places to eat. We went back and did many of the things he told us about. He also helped us line up other tours which were fantastic as well.

Fabulous local guide - don’t hesitate to book. - Francesco was an excellent guide. He was punctual, courteous and super-friendly. Being born and bred in Guayaquil gave him an encyclopaedic knowledge of the city, its history and culture, and the flora and fauna of the area. He was obviously well known and well liked everywhere we went, which meant we felt welcome and part of the city. If you have time to spare and want to see something of Guayaquil, Francesco is the man for you. Thanks - we had a great time.

Great Guayaquil Highlights Tour - This was a great tour. We booked it the day before and the driver and tour guide were early to pick us up. They both spoke great English and were very friendly. The car was clean and it was a great tour for little kids with little walking. We loved iguana park. Definitely recommend!

Phenomenal experience! - Pro trip is an absolutely amazing company to use! Francisco goes above and beyond to make his guests happy! He was extraordinarily accommodating, entertaining, and went above and beyond to go buy soccer jerseys for my boys after he dropped us off at the hotel at the end of the tour. Don’t hesitate to schedule with the pro trip!

Amazing tour of Guayaquil - Francisco provided an amazing tour of Guayaquil, showing us cultural, architectural, and natural highlights of the city! We climbed the 444 steps of Santa Ana Hill, visited the lighthouse and chapel, viewed wildlife along the river and park, experienced fresh fruits at the fruit market, visited the cathedral, government district, and waterfront. If we had more time, there would have been even more to see. Francisco was extremely welcoming, knowledgeable, and accommodating to our interests and needs. He recommended a fantastic restaurant with meat kabobs and delicious sangria that we all greatly enjoyed. Definitely book with Francisco - he is the best!!!
