Ecuador Local Travel Experts

Rough Guides hooked me up with a local tour operator to help plan a trip to Colombia. The experience was excellent! I got exactly what I wanted, recommendations, tours, transportation arrangements etc. The local operator was very good at back and forth exchanges, asked great questions to help with recommendations that suited our travel plans and style. The local tour arranger, Nick, also checked on us multiple times via Whatsapp during the trip to ensure things were going as planned. He also had great tips for foods to try, and insider information. Couldn't have been more pleased and plan to use Rough Guides for any travel outside the USA

Tamar from Rough Guides was more than helpful through the whole process from planning to execution. Tamar kept in touch with us constantly and even when another company, a cruise line, we were working with let us down while in Ecuador, Tamar and his local guide took up the slack and helped us amazingly. In addition to Tamar, the local guide, Sebastian Carrera, was amazing. In short, he was great!! Please see our review of him on Trip Advisor. Overall, an amazing trip that happened thanks to Rough Guides.

The perfect experience! We really had the best possible experience with our local guide Tamer in Ecuador. He put together a brilliant programme taking account of all our (specialised!) wishes, checking in every few days in the run-up to and every day during our holiday to make sure thing we’re going smoothly. He helped make changes on the spot, found the perfect local guides and drivers for us (who were all brilliant too) and was fun and very professional to work with. He was absolutely invaluable to us and became more like a friend than an agent! I can highly recommend working with both him and Rough Guides
