Lives In:

Quito, Ecuador

In Jacquie’s own words:

“I specialize in thematic trips in which immersion is fundamental. Sometimes these tours are thematic such as Easter, or when the main interest is rural folklore and culture, like the festivals of Corpus Christi and Inti Raymi.

As a tour guide, I focus on the design of the itinerary, professional and friendly guiding, and facilitated encounters with residents and hosts in cities, small towns, and rural villages.

The special thing about my work as a tour guide is that I integrate a measure of awareness for the visitor as well as for the local host, achieving a unique and special encounter for all involved.”

I have been collaborating with Jacquie since 2016. Her love for her profession and for her country make her one of the best tour guides I have ever worked with. If Jacquie second guesses my plans, I know I better rethink my itinerary. Best yet, when she recommends a place, I am never disappointed!
