Is Guayaquil safe for women?

Guayaquil has been experiencing an unprecedented security crisis for several months. If you travel to Guayaquil be very careful with your belongings, and watch around. Don't take with you great value objects if you don't want to be surprised.

Not safe at night or even after 6pm Taxis are not reliable Public transportation is easy to get robbed in it They charge foreigners more for everything Being mugged is too common and you have to be aware of your surroundings all the time

Solo travel
I didn't have time for extensive sightseeing on the continent, but I spent a few nights in Guayaquil, which everyone says is the most dangerous city in Ecuador. However, I took a private tour with a guide and felt safe the entire time, staying in safer neighborhoods and only going out during the day.
