I really enjoyed the tour accompanied by Yamil. It was a very complete and personalized experience to make the tour fit as well as possible to my arrival times. The cooking experience was great, I was able to better understand Ecuadorian food with excellent quality ingredients and the expert guide in the city was the perfect complement. Thank you very much for all the attentions.

Simon and Yamil (English translator) were wonderful tour guides. They are passionate about their city and are very knowledgeable. We enjoyed walking las Peñas, going to the cocoa museum, and seeing all the animals at the historic park. We ended the tour with the best meal I’ve had while in Ecuador- sea bass with cocoa and peanut sauce, ceviche, and ice cream with the chocolate sauce. Everything was made from scratch and delicious! Simon and Yamil are very professional and patient. We felt well taken care of the whole time. I would highly recommend this tour for those wanting to explore some of Guayaquil.

Yamil and his English translator Simon were both wonderful humans, they arrived early to pick us up at our hotel and we felt very held and supported by them the whole day. We did the main parts of the tour that were on the brief (las Peñas, Santa Ana, the cacao museum, trying local food and drink) and what I really appreciated is they allowed for flexibility (for example, we didn’t want to climb all 444 steps due to asthma and my aunt’s heavy bag, so we only went up about 150 steps). Yamil clearly cares about the experience of the guests and was very welcoming and supportive. I felt very safe with Yamil and Simon (my aunt and I are visiting from the US and were stopping over in Guayaquil before a yoga retreat in the Galapagos) and we both really felt like we got to experience the culture and the heart of Guayaquil by having them as our tour guides! The treats were lovely, we had coffee with rum and DELICIOUS cacao. And then Yamil even had us over to his magical and lovely house (which is also a nice hostel) where we did a ceviche making experience, had a wonderful meal made by his prima, and then drank some delicious cups of cacao and had beautiful conversation. I also must add that a highlight for me was we got to meet Yamil’s two ADORABLE Yorkies, one of whom (Bimba) has my heart!!!! It was a memorable experience and if I ever get the chance to come back to Ecuador I will definitely be calling on them for help with guidance!
This tour in Ecuador is organized by Yamil Saman Cabrera
