Alejandro was an amazing tour guide! We loved his positive energy. He’s full of knowledge and very entertaining. Our day was very memorable thanks to Alejandro. We went from hugging Llamas to having a party at the middle of the world. I would always remember this day thank you so much ! It was a wonderful way to experience the rich culture of Ecuador. Don’t hesitate to book this tour! 10/10 experience !

Alejandro is a very sweet guy with many talents. He is an Informatics Engineer, a Pastry Baker, a Tour Guide and a Beer Coinneseur - all with degrees!
He showed up at our meeting point on time. His communication prior to the tour was good too. He always presented us with multiple options - whether it be for transportation, which location we wanted to end the tour in or the things we wanted to see at the Middle of the World park.
His attitude is very positive and you can clearly tell he is very passionate about his job!
We were just a bit tired by the end of the tour. Maybe speeding up a few sections - like the Aborigines homes museum or the Middle of the world museum - would have been nice.
Otherwise, I loved how friendly Alejandro is. He even gave us useful tips for our trip to the Galapagos Islands, including airport tips.
Thanks, Alejandro 🙏🏼

Alejandro was so knowledgeable about the area and the people and he took time to explain everything, which I really appreciated. There was so much information about the history of the monument, the equator, and Ecuador in general. It was quite interesting and educational,
