Hola! I'm Daniel, born and grew up in Guadalajara, in my early 20's I became independent and started living in different cities in Mexico and USA, until I fell in love with Puerto Vallarta and it became my hometown. I decided to go to college and get my bachelor's degree in tourism, this gave me the great opportunity to know more about Mexico in all aspects, like geography, tradition, culture, natural attractions, etc. In 2005 I took classes to become a Tourist Guide. When I was 15 year old I made a school tour to southeast of Mexico for 2 weeks and I met the first tour guide and he talk about the chapter Chucho el Roto a prisoner who escaped from prison, well this was my nick name and got all my attention because I didn't know any thing about my nick name at the time, so I said I will be a tour guide and here I am. I like to meet people, I'm a vegetarian and I like food very much and always try something different when I travel. All my tours can be customized upon request. Every four years I have to take a curse and collet 160 hrs to renew the tour guide license, as a passenger driver every two years, we must take a medical exam and every five years renovate the federal driver's license. I'm also part of the organization of tour guides who have a permit to provide tours to cruise ship passengers. None

Overview of your Puerto Vallarta tour

Some of the best experience when I start sailing on the bay was the unexpected view of the immense mountains "kissing" the ocean and every time is the same emotion, I feel living in paradise. One of my firsts day sailing south with my friends in a small boat, I got scare cause something really big came out of the water from a short distance almost touchable, it was my first time seen a humpback whale and I found out they came here every winter. Living here all over the bay is a play ground, PV is the destination with more recreations activities in México, as locals sometimes our vacations are here, when we got free days we just go to the rivers, towns near by or to the beaches, some times we take a Panga (small boat) and just go to Los Arcos of Mismaloya best place for snorkel and discover part of the creatures who leave on the ocean, feeling the fresh of the water all year around & the view of Los Arcos (those huge rocs inside the water) after the amazing experience we just go back to the beaches nearby.

Daniel did a great job with our stop in PV. He clearly communicated how to meet him and drove us in his comfortable van to tour the city. He certainly showed us his knowledge of PV, delivered us to a restaurant of our choice and waited for us then guided us to the pier. He then provided great information during a coastal tour of the city and made sure we were ready for snorkeling and we even saw whales on the return trip. Definitely a 5-Star experience!
