I looked into a few tour groups before selecting Narwell and it proved to be an excellent choice. You basically order from a menu of tours (I'm not sure if they offer customized tours) and we selected the one that included the tuna market, jungle hike and Montecristi. What made the day extra special were our guides -- Jesus and Alex. Alex was in training as a German-speaking guide and both fellows were delightful. Don't opt for the jungle hike if you are in any way limited in your walking ability as part of the trail follows a rocky active creek bed. Great day!

With just one stop in Ecuador for one day, this tour did, just what it said it would do- give us a taste of Ecuador. Gus our wonderful, knowledgeable guide was waiting for us at the cruise terminal. We were taken to the fish markets at Manta, then out to see the howler monkeys in the Paroche Forest and for a great 2 km walk. Next we went to the beach for lunch, where we tried local seafood and beer. Montecristi, the very moving Ecuadorian Revolution Memorial and panama hat making finished off a day,full of wonderful experiences. There were six people in our group and we felt it was good value for money. I would recommend Narwell tours.

Special thanks to Gus for making our shortened tour excellent! Our ship was late and there were problems getting to our tour area. Once there, Gus still was able to take us everywhere described. He was very informative and we all enjoyed our time with him very much. We would highly recommend using Narwell for your tour in Manta!!

This was an amazing tour! We did the cocoa tour as a cruise excursion and everything worked out so well. We connected easily and then we were wisked out of the city and into the countryside. We got a great up close and personal flavor of Ecuador. Everything and everyone was so nice and we learned a great deal about cocoa and family farming. Thanks Narwell and thanks Daniella.
