Guayaquil is so beautiful and the people are friendly .Guayaquil the food is delicious and is the best music in the city

guys im an Ecuadorian and i now live in the U.S. also go to the big parts of the city instead of the small parts bc people can rob u. Also never whip out your phone in public especially an iphone. only do it when theres hardly anyone around. another thing is that watch your surroundings bc sometimes people can kill you just take some cash. I have seen it. stay safe going to Ecuador.

Guayaquil it’s my city but we are going trough dark social situations, insecurity, murder, robbery, a city with a lot of potential the most populated city in Ecuador 🇪🇨 ❤

The best is QUITO AND CUENCA, beautiful city

Jamais eu ia me aproximar de uma iguana como essa moça se aproximou!!!

I'm from away...I'm serious...stay away. Go to Cuenca instead. It's a beautiful city and you don't have to keep looking over your shoulder as if you were in Guayaquil.

I'm an ecuadorian and I don't dare taking any tourist to Guayaquil. There are too many people who misrepresent us there.

[TheRenaissanceAmazon]

I just came from there and I hated it. It’s a boring dry city.

[DaneReidVoiceOver]

No. It's NOT with visiting. Guayaquil it's a dump. Don't spend your money to go there. Ecuador has so much to offer. This is in no way a highlight. Underwhelming is an understatement
