Itinéraire
Nous commençons la visite dans le célèbre parc Seminario, également connu sous le nom de parc des iguanes. Ce petit parc emblématique abrite de nombreux iguanes qui évoluent librement parmi les visiteurs. Ici, vous pourrez observer de près ces fascinants reptiles, les nourrir et même prendre des photos avec eux.
Mairie et Place de l'Administration : Nous continuons notre visite vers la Place de l'Administration, où se trouve le bâtiment du maire de Guayaquil. Ce lieu est un centre administratif et un point historique important de la ville. La place est ornée de statues et de jardins et constitue un endroit idéal pour découvrir l'histoire locale et admirer l'architecture néoclassique du palais municipal.
Cathédrale de Guayaquil : À quelques pas du Parque Seminario se trouve l’imposante cathédrale de Guayaquil, officiellement connue sous le nom de Cathédrale Métropolitaine de San Pedro. Cette église de style néo-gothique est l'un des principaux temples catholiques de la ville. Son intérieur, orné de vitraux et de détails architecturaux impressionnants, offre un espace de tranquillité et de dévotion.
Tour maure : En marchant un peu plus loin, nous atteignons la Tour Maure, également connue sous le nom d'Horloge Publique. Cette tour, avec son style mudéjar distinctif, est l'une des icônes les plus reconnues de Guayaquil.
Malecón 2000 : Nous nous dirigerons ensuite vers Malecón 2000, une vaste zone récréative et touristique qui s'étend le long de la rivière Guayas. Vous y trouverez une combinaison d'espaces verts, de monuments historiques et de zones de divertissement. C'est un lieu idéal pour une promenade relaxante, avec une vue imprenable sur le fleuve et la ville. Nous visiterons l'hémicycle de la Rotonde, où se trouvent les statues de Simón Bolívar et José de San Martín.
Vieille ville de Las Peñas : Nous terminons la visite dans le quartier de Las Peñas, le secteur le plus ancien de Guayaquil. Ce quartier pittoresque, avec ses rues pavées et ses maisons colorées de style colonial, est un joyau historique et culturel. Monter les marches de la rue Numa Pompilio Llona jusqu'à la colline Santa Ana vous permettra de profiter de vues spectaculaires sur la ville et le fleuve. En chemin, vous trouverez des galeries d'art, des cafés et des boutiques d'artisanat qui font de cette région un endroit agréable à explorer.

I can't say enough about our excellent guide, Francisco! He was friendly, informative, and flexible. His first priority was to determine what the group wanted to see and do. He could recommend options that would meet our needs, but could easily adjust to satisfy the group. Francisco gave us a great feel of the local culture, including tasting from local fruit stands, a walk around City Hall, a walk along the river, and lunch at a new style restaurant. I highly recommend Francisco!
Our small group of new friends decided last minute to tour Guayaquil on our one free day. Lucky for us, our hotel concierge called Francisco. Francisco (and driver Sonny) customized a day that balanced sites of the city with food experiences and answers to our history questions. He even extended our tour to allow for a hat shop visit and amazing lunch. A kind, funny, thoughtful, intelligent guide. We all highly recommend!
Francisco was a fantastic tour guide, very engaging and eager to share his city and his country with us. We really appreciated that he asked right at the start what we were interested in, then checked with us throughout the day with regard to our interest, pacing, hunger, comfort, etc. He could not have been more hospitable. We initially intended only a three hour tour but we were all having such a good time that we kept going for seven hours! Again, he was most accommodating. We had a great day! Highly recommend Francisco and Protours!
My boyfriend and I had a lovely tour of Guayaquil. Our awesome guide Julio and stellar driver Javier picked us up at 10:00am at our hotel. We had an air conditioned van all to ourselves which was such a treat. We saw many touristic spots including Las Peñas, Parque Centenario, Malecón, and rode on the Aerovía. We felt safe and comfortable the whole time. I am really happy I did this tour and left my hotel to see some incredible attractions in a growing and modern city! The tour was conducted in English and Spanish. Great communication and help from Francisco after booking. Thanks for a wonderful day filled with memories!
we’re visiting Guayaquil again after 32 years, to celebrate my parents’ 60th wedding anniversary with close family and friends. we had a late start today and decided to switch our plans around which led us to book this last minute tour. immediately, they were responsive, attentive and accommodating. they picked us up earlier than expected and outside the location range the app had set. that’s when we met our tour guide, Julio, and driver, André - absolutely phenomenal people. Julio is funny, personable, caring and really enjoys his job - they make an excellent duo and made us feel comfortable. we had an excellent and enjoyable time, and our group was able to enjoy the tour in Spanish and English. they were even able to customize the trip for us a bit which was a heartwarming and meaningful gesture. we were so happy with the tour and their service that we booked another last minute tour for tomorrow! highly recommend this service and can’t wait to meet them again. thank you for making our trip so special!
My husband and I came to Ecuador for a wedding and decided last minute to book a tour. We are sooo happy we found Francisco! We only had 1 day to explore the city and him and Andrew took us all over and even went out of their way to take us to extra stops that included the wedding venue! They truly went above and beyond for us and we left with an all new appreciation for Ecuador/Guayaquil.
Francisco, our guide, & Andrew, our driver, arrived promptly at our hotel lobby for a customized tour for my husband and I. Francisco’s energy, enthusiasm, & knowledge of his country are vast. And Francisco must know everyone in Ecuador! We arrived a day early to Guayaquil for an organized 12 day tour with a big tour company, so we wanted to see & do things in the city that we would not do with our big group. So I showed Francisco our agenda and he made sure to not duplicate any of those, taking us to highlights we would have otherwise missed. Great mix of sites & food — oh the food! And because we were in a private car, we were able to traverse a wide area efficiently. Fun fun day! We travel a lot and these folks are excellent. Highly recommend them!
Great tour on short notice. Hit all the highlights of Guayaquil. Deep understanding of history, culinary, indigenous, and modern life. Great company that kept is safe and engaged. Highly recommend.
This was a wonderful sightseeing tour of Guayaquil. Our driver was courteous and made the journey comfortable, while our guide Julio was knowledgeable, engaging, and provided fascinating insights into the city’s history, culture, and landmarks. The tour was both informative and enjoyable. Highly recommended.
We had a great time with our guide Julio who has a genuine passion for Guayaquil. He was very informative and amusing. Highly recommend this tour
