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

When I started explorer out of the city, sailing, driving or hiking true the towns around the bay or true the mountains of the Sierra Madre I discover another world full of vegetation and rivers, about 20 years ago I discover some moonshine, calls Raicilla similar to Tequila but stronger, making with different kind of agave, when I tried my first shot it taste wired and got drunk pretty fast, it was ilegal at the time, now it's legal and I can say I like it : ) Those same producers started making business with Raicilla and small portions of Tequila, that only problem they have agave doesn't grow up in the area so the have to bring the plant from Tequila city that is about 150 miles away from PV and make their own delicious brand, they are on the Country Side South of Puerto Vallarta going there it's a beautiful raid cause the scenery between the bay and the Mountains make it unique driving true beach and mountain towns and as always say those places are especial because the happy people who lives there.

Daniel was an exceptional guide for our group of 5 people! He made our experience in Puerto Vallarta particularly enjoyable. His English is excellent, he has a great sense of humor, and he shared his considerable knowledge in an engaging and entertaining way. Daniel is a safe and courteous driver, which was a relief on the busy and narrow streets. His engaging storytelling, and enthusiasm for sharing the local history and culture made the day go by quickly. We would highly recommend Daniel for anyone looking for a guide for day or overnight trips.

Daniel is a knowledgeable and accommodating guy. Listened carefully to what I wanna do and gave me the kind of experience I asked for. We did a walking tour of the downtown and romantic areas by foot. Then he took me into the countryside and gave me a sense of what the surrounding area and vegetation look like. We had lunch in a very interesting and authentic small town. I would highly recommend him. I had inadvertently left my sunglasses in his car and he brought them to my hotel the next day.

This is the perfect tour for first time visitor(s) and Daniel is the perfect guide. His knowledge of the area and willingness to answer questions were comforting to my wife and me as he drove us through the cobblestone streets of Puerto Vallarta and then south along the beautiful coast. The tequila tasting, conducted by Omar, was fun and informative. And our lunch at Chico's Paradise (not included in tour price) was high quality for price paid. We will definitely book with Daniel if/when we return to P.V.

Daniel was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of information on the drive to the tequila tasting that enhanced the tour and made the time pass quickly. His restaurant recommendation was excellent with an amazing atmosphere in the river valley. The Tequila tour was also very well done and the atrisinal tequila host was humourous and engaging - tequila wasn't bad either. Overall highly recommend the trip and Daniel as a tour guide.

Daniel was awesome! He met us early off the cruise ship and took us around Puerto Vallarta. The tequila place was unique and fun. Lunch was wonderful, reasonable and had a cliff diver to watch. He was very accommodating with helping my parents walk less. I enjoyed not having to deal with the large crowds and having our own guide. Book with confidence!
