Tourists in Guayaquil Requesting a Dukers volunteer:

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE REQUESTING A DUKERS VOLUNTEER

Before you can request a Dukers volunteer guide, you must first book accommodation in Guayaquil. You should then send your name and phone number (including international dialling code) along with the name and registration code of your hotel to the following e-mail address: gcoello @ dukers.org

• We will call you three days before you arrive in Guayaquil to confirm your arrival and provide you with details of the Dukers volunteer assigned to you.
• You must plan to spend at least 2 days in Guayaquil.
• Maximum group sizes for the city walking tours are 6 tourists (including children) and 2 Dukers volunteers.
• You must request Dukers volunteers at least one month before you arrive in order to maximize their availability.
• We prefer that all our tours be conducted either on foot or using public transport. If alternative transport is required, the tourists must bear the costs.
• Please remember that we are not professional tour guides, but a group of volunteers who want to show you what our city has to offer.
• Do not offer tips to volunteers before, during or after the guided tours. However, voluntary donations to the Dukers Foundation are greatly appreciated. 
• There is no set route for the walking tours, as they are organized to meet the needs and preferences of each group of tourists.
• While we do our best to accommodate all visitors, requesting a Dukers volunteer does not guarantee that one will be available during your stay in Guayaquil.
• Dukers volunteers are only available in the city of Guayaquil. If you wish to visit other places in Ecuador, we recommend that you locate a professional tour guide.

Many people can feel lost or alone when outside the familiar settings of their own country or city. At Dukers, our aim is to make you feel welcome and provide you with a friendly face to help you explore our city.

All data that you provide to Dukers must be true and accurate. If any data is found to be deliberately false or misleading after we have confirmed its receipt, your application will be declared null and void. 

Each time you visit our city, whether on business, as a tourist, or for other reasons, with Dukers you will always have “ a friend in Guayaquil “

See the real Guayaquil by attending a hotly-contested soccer match between the two biggest teams in the city, visit Iguana Park and the Malecón 2000 urban renewal project, climb the 456 steps of Santa Ana Hill to enjoy breathtaking views… Whatever your interests, a Guayaquil native will be waiting to show you around this exotic city known as the gateway to Ecuador.

What can you expect from the Dukers Foundation?

All Dukers volunteers are chosen for their warmth,  kindness and pride in their city. They will show you both tourist and non-tourist areas of the city so that you can get a taste of how regular people live day-to-day. Their aim is to offer you an enjoyable and different tourist experience, so that you will take a lasting impression of Guayaquil home with you, and maybe even come back for more! 

Our volunteers have in-depth knowledge of the city, its culture, public holidays and latest attractions.

Dukers will offer you a warm welcome and invite you to discover the magical city of Guayaquil, known as the Pearl of the Pacific.

Our activities are funded by contributions from public and private tourism firms, as well as by donations from tourists and the general public.
