Have you ever wondered why so many shore excursions can be a real letdown? We did, too. That’s why we launched Manta Tour Guides (MTG).

Our family emigrated from the United Kingdom to Manta, Ecuador, over 10 years ago. Over time, more family members joined us, and now we are a 12-person, four-generation family of expats living on the equator. Our decision to settle in Manta wasn’t made overnight. We visited Ecuador many times as tourists first. Unfortunately, the tour experiences we encountered often fell short of our expectations, especially when we brought visiting family and friends from the UK. It can be so disappointing to book a day out only to discover poor organization, bad customer service, or rundown attractions.

We saw the need for a resource that highlighted the best places to visit, eat, and enjoy in Manta. That’s how MTG was born—a directory of the finest places to eat, sleep, and explore in Manta and Manabí. Every location featured on our site has been carefully handpicked and personally vetted by our family of expats. Only the best earn our “EXPAT APPROVED TOP QUALITY” seal.
