Our tour guide, Michael, did his very best to make sure we understood what we were seeing and provided us with a glimpse of the vibrancy of this interesting city.

We enjoyed this excursion. Our guide took us to a new pedestrian bridge on the water front for a good view as well as a view of the port activities which made Guayaquil what it is. She had us taken by the waterfront for an understanding of the city's origins as a trading centre. As we indicated we had to be back at hotel for our afternoon shuttle she adjusted time accordingly to our wished. Also we had already visited part of the intended itinerary so we didn't repeat some things in interest of time. She gave us a good tour of the Malecon start and finish and if we had wanted to we could have got out more and walked more if we wanted to. She took us up the hill steps to the lighthouse. We also had the tour of the historic park which was a good option. I would not recommend this tour without this addition as it explains the ecosystems, city history and is very worthwhile.
