I emailed this tour company because of previous comments. They were the first to reply. I then bombarded them with many many questions. Each email was replied to swiftly and i got very close to making a decision. Finally i ended up deciding i was going to sort some of my own accomodation and look around at different cruises. I...

We used Guanguiltagua Expeditions for two different day tours to Quito and Otavalo. We were staying out of the city and Dennis went out of his way to come pick us up. There was a fee for this service; however, it was very reasonable and it was nice to not have to hassle with a cab ride before the tours.... More

We (my husband, 13-yr old son, and myself) had a really nice time in the mountains south of Quito with Dennis and Diego. We planned the trip in advance and over email. Guanguiltagua Expeditions was very good about responding to our various itinerary ideas, changes, etc throughout the planning. The three-day trip trip went as planned and was really fun... More

Dennis put together a great itinerary for myself and my wife. It consisted of a 10 day tour that was superior to the typical "canned" schedule that one gets with large group tours. Despite the fact we are getting a private tour with all the insight; it was very reasonably priced. Normally I plan my own trips, but Ecuador represents... More

Our trip comprised 4 days guided tour of Quito and Otavalo surroundings and then 8 days guided tour Cotopaxi National Park, Riobamba, Ingapirca, Cuenca and Guayaquil. After we had paid in full for the trip, Guanguiltagua were first rate at changing the dates of their service (into the following year) because misadventure by one of our family meant we could...

Dennis provided hours of engaging conversations- from the poltical climate to interesting local stories. We felt extremely safe with Dennis (even though he has a tendency... More

My wife and I were planning a trip to Ecuador--Amazon and Galapagos. We ended up changing our plans, but these guys were fantastic. Very responsive, answered every question, planned various itineraries for us, made changes to meet our desires. Andres and Dennis were just great and stayed in touch during all of our planning. I highly recommend their services and... More

We toured with Guanguiltagua Expeditions and our guide Fabian, being a local, had invaluable knowledge and experience to show us the sights of Quito. He tailored our tour to our interests and ensured we had the best time. He also took us to Otovallo, Mindo and the cloudforest area, as well as Cotopaxi, Quilota and Chugchilan. Couldn't have done it... More

As a rule, I never use tour companies - I prefer to travel more cheaply, in the college-backpacker lifestyle. However, on my trip to Ecuador I was running super short on time - only 2 weeks with lots of family obligations (I was meeting an Ecuadorian friend) and sights to see. Guanguiltagua custom-tailored a tour, and though we paid a... More
