Great tour! - My teenage son and I did a walking tour of Guayaquil and had a wonderful experience. It was the perfect mix of history, culture, and local insight. Francisco was super friendly and knowledgeable, and made us feel totally at ease. A great way to see the city!

See Guayaquil from the best perspective! - I travel a lot, so when I leave a five star review it is earned! Francisco Galvez brings all of Ecuador to you during your brief stay and his tours will forever remain as a special memories. If you are planning a trip to Guayaquil do not miss an opportunity to learn from Francisco!

Guayaquil City Tour - I booked a solo Guayaquil city tour and was very fortunate to have been assigned Francisco as my Guide. Francisco is very knowledgeable of the city, the area, the cultural dynamics, the rich history. His personality is lively and it was wonderful to be in his company. I highly recommend Francisco - you will not be disappointed!

Fantastic tour with Francisco! - We spent a wonderful 4 hours taking a Guayaquil city tour with Francisco of Protrip. He was a fabulous guide - super knowledgeable, very friendly, fun , and of course very proud of his native city. With his driver, we explored quite a few parts of Guayaquil, from the Iquana park to the city center, to a large produce and meat market, to the Malecon and Las Peñas. This was a great way for us to learn about this lovely city before leaving on our Galapagos cruise. Highly recommended.

Perfect guided tour to enjoy Guayaquil - If you are looking for a day trip in Guayaquil, I highly recommend Fransisco. He picked me up at the hotel and tailored my tour based on my preferences. He took me to Santa Anna Hill, a big market, local organic store, and famous hill with a big Palo Santo tree where I can overlook the city of Guayaquil. I thoroughly enjoyed the 4 hour guided tour. Fransisco is very knowledgeable about the city of Guayaquil, its history and culture, and the food of Ecuador. I learned many during this tour. He is very attractive and also knows spots where you can take good pictures!

Francesco, a fantastic five star guide to Guayaquil - A half-day wait in Guayaquil for our return flight to Belgium was a fantastic experience by guide Francesco. He is a warm, cordial personality passionate about his city and his country, who is completely open to the questions, interests and needs of his guests. His tour was not a fixed schedule but was discussed with us and adapted to our interests, yet we visited all the sights of the city. History, religion and folklore, flora, birds, iguanas - they even got cabbage leaves for breakfast from him - were all covered. At the local market we got - with the help of the vendors - explanations about the tropical fruits, herbs and vegetables. He also told to organize a separate tour about his city's street food, with his enthusiasm and knowledge this must be a "hit". We also felt very safe with him. Intrusive persons, were politely but firmly pointed out that tourists are guests and have no interest in such behavior. We took Francesco home in our hearts, are already homesick for Equador, but highly recommend him and his tour.

A Memorable Tour of Guayaquil - Our family enjoyed a great 8 days of cruising the Galapagos Islands. Before leaving Ecuador, we had a few hours to tour Guayaquil and were fortunate to find Francisco with ProTrip. What a fun four hours! He showed us his city of Guayaquil filled with lots of fun historical history. We fed iguanas in the park and walked the riverfront all the time, Francisco made us fall in love with his city. A great tour led by a great tour guide.

Living life at its fullest - Francisco was fantabulous!! He was highly recommended by a friend but we never expected how great it would be. His love for Guayaquil’s culture, history and people is evident. We are so happy to have reached out to him and for him to show us his beautiful city.

Great tour with Francisco - I would highly recommend the cocoa farm tour with Francisco. Francisco was a knowledgable, efficient, fun, clearly spoken and enthusiastic guide. We loved our small, personable farm tour and felt we learned a lot about the local culture and the growing and processing of cocoa.
