Have you ever wondered why a lot of tours shore excursions can be a real let down? We did. Which is why we launched MTG.

Our Family emigrated From the United Kingdom to Manta, Ecuador over 10 years ago. One by one more family members have moved out to join us and now we are 12 people and 4 generations of gringos on the equator. Our decision to settle down in Manta was not made overnight. We visited Ecuador many times as tourists first. Unfortunately, the tour experiences we tried did not meet our expectations especially when accompanied by visiting family and friends form the UK. It can be so disappointing to book a day out only to discover poor organization, bad customer service or run down attractions. What was needed was somewhere to bring together the sort of places we wanted to visit, to eat in and spend the day.

A directory of some of the finest places to eat, sleep and visit in Manta and Manabi. And here we are. This site is a carefully handpicked collection of fabulous places to go with your friends and family. Everywhere on the site has been checked out by our family of expats. Only the best earn our “EXPAT APPROVED TOP QUALITY” seal.
