Hi! I'm Diego, I've been a tour guide for the last 8 years in the central zone of Chile. I have studies in English teaching so I'm effectively fluent in English.Born traveler, father of a baby boy and arts aficionado. I have cycled more than 5 thousand kilometers along Chile and also part of Argentina. I've done several hikes as well so I can give lots of recomendations for those who are looking for outdoor adventures. Join me to see the best of Santiago with a real speaker of English.

I'll be right outside the metro station Quinta Normal at the entry o the Quinta Normal park ,in between the two access, with a red sign that says "tip based tour". I'm the man with a beard.

This was mybsecond tour with Diego and he is just so amazing. It feelw like we have been Friends for years. He is very inteligente and talks a lot about the history and culture of not only the buildings, but also thebsurrounding nature and street art as well.
He is very patient and Happy to answer any question. This tour was super different and interesting and really showed an awesome part of Santiago that I never would have experienced otherwise.
Muchas gracias amigo!
