I am Daniel G., a licensed private tour guide in Cartagena (Guide #13938), proudly born and raised in this vibrant city. Since 2015, I have dedicated my career to sharing the history, culture, and traditions of Cartagena with travelers from all over the world. Over the years, I have had the honor of guiding a wide range of visitors, including diplomats, international business leaders, authors, and National Geographic photographers. Each experience has shaped my approach to guiding—combining professionalism with authenticity, and always ensuring that every tour feels like a unique cultural exchange. My style as a guide reflects my core values: passion for what I do, love for my city, a warm sense of humor, and dedication to providing insightful, memorable experiences. I believe a tour is more than just sightseeing—it should be a journey into the heart of Cartagena, leaving visitors with lasting connections and stories to take home. To ensure the highest standards, I am certified by the Colombian Government, hold Aquila’s International Tour Guiding Certification, and a Travelife Sustainability Certificate in Tourism. These credentials reflect my commitment not only to excellence in service, but also to responsible and sustainable tourism. My goal is to continue growing as a professional tour leader while positioning Cartagena as one of the world’s most unforgettable destinations. When you choose me as your guide, you are not just booking a tour—you are embarking on a genuine experience crafted with knowledge, energy, and care.

Unfortunately our contracted guide - Daniel had to cancel at the last minute due to an injury. He luckily had an available colleague Julito, who stepped in and conducted our tour. The variety of food available on the food tour was fantastic and we enjoyed every bite. Julito was kind professional and knowledgeable and helped to make our tour day special and comprehensive.

We had a fabulous tour with Daniel. I do recommend that you go with an empty stomach as there is plenty of food to eat. The food was all wonderful. We had everything from fresh fruit to shrimp ceviche to egg stuffed corn patties. Daniel took us around both the Old Town and Getsemani. You don't want to miss this tour.
