Hi! I'm Sergio. I've been a tour guide for 5 years, but I still feel like every tour is like my first one. I believe a walking tour is not only about dates or names of buildings and statues, but about discovering what these places tell us about the history and culture of a city, so as a guide this is what I like to study and share with tourists. My tours are a mixture of facts and anecdotes to make you learn and enjoy yourself at the same time.

Awesome tour with Diego! He showed us a lot of hidden places that you would have never found yourself. He was very kind and patient with answering all our questions and taught us a lot about the history of the neighborhood and Santiago. 11/10 would recommend!

Sergio was a great guide with very interesting insights on the Yungay district. I got a lot of impressions on street art and (historical) background which you would miss without this tour. Highly recommend.
