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

What a lovely day. This tour shows you all the things you need to see in downtown PV. Daniel was just the perfect host and so enjoyable on a personal level. I took my friend on this tour who has never before enjoyed a city tour and she had a wonderful time. The scenery is lovely, but the personality of Daniel absolutely made the day. He showed us the BEST vegetarian taco place as most of our group was vegetarian. It was one of the highlights of the entire trip. You will enjoy your time greatly.

Daniel was the perfect tour guide. He took us to many of the popular sites as well as gave us a tour of a small community in the old city. His vehicle was clean and comfortable. We had a perfect day. Definitely recommend this tour

Daniel went above and beyond, supplying a wheelchair and wheeling my sister where she could not use her walker. Great guide.

Danny was a great tour guide, made sure we were comfortable the whole time. The tour was wheelchair friendly, Van was clean and comfortable. He took us around the city, shopping, the church, and several historical sites and beautiful vistas. We had a great time with him, I would highly recommend this tour whether it’s your first or hundredth time in Puerto Vallarta

Was just the cruise excursion we needed. Saw the highlights, stopped by shops that were not mobbed from the 3 cruise ships in port. Daniel was very agreeable to a few special requests we had and provided excellent overview of the area and its history. Recommended an excellent place for lunch on the beach.

Daniel accommodated our needs perfectly during our day in PV from our cruise ship, both in showing us the charming neighborhoods of the old city and driving us to Nuevo Nayarit where we explored resorts we might like to return at a longer future visit. He was patient and comprehensive and even arranged a tour for us at his favorite resort. Well done, Daniel! Looking forward to our return to Puerto Vallarta and Nuevo Nayarit. Highly recommend.
