Hello! My name is Luis. I am a psychologist and I love Art in all its expressions, which I also use within my therapeutic focus. Be a Guide for me is not only rewarding but also entertaining. Valparaiso every day has some visual, sound or culinary surprise and I love being surprised by those small details in everyday life.
I have 8 years of experience in tourism and I'm always looking to improve (and learn new languages)
Starting in October, I'm offering a new graffiti experience with a renowned international artist. Check out my profile for more details!
I hope to share with you part of my passion and that we have a pleasant experience together.
We had a great time wandering with Luis. Learning about the local history and the art of the murals. He grew up in the area. We ran into so many of his friends, which made the day even more personal and enjoyable. He has even worked on some of the murals with the leading artists of the area. One very famous who signs her art "Maidak" and is internationally known. We also enjoyed lunch together, so a very enjoyable day. He didn't mind spending extra time, as he saw we were very interested in the art and history. Of course, we thanked him well. Highly recommend. Six stars out of five. :)
Luis is a fantastic guide – knowledgeable, friendly, and truly passionate about the city. The tour was informative, entertaining, and full of fascinating stories about Valparaíso’s history, art, and culture. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience the city in an authentic way!
Ich war ganz alleine auf der Tour und hatte zunächst Bedenken. Doch der Tag mit Luis war einfach fantastisch! Er hat sich so viel Mühe gegeben, mir seine Stadt zu zeigen und ließ dabei sein unglaubliches Wissen nicht nur über die Geschichte, sondern auch über die Kultur des Ortes einfließen. So teilte er seine Begeisterung für die landesübliche Musik mit mir, erklärte mir die Besonderheiten der örtlichen Streetart und wir fuhren sogar mit den berühmten Aufzügen. Es war ein wunderschöner Tag. Danke Luis!
Luis was such an entertaining and informative guide with an obvious passion for his home city, Valparaiso. We thoroughly enjoyed hearing about all the history, architecture and current social affairs of this beautiful city, but his knowledge and passion for the local art scene - particularly the street art culture and graffiti/mural works shone through. We were carried along by his enthusiastic explanations of the numerous and wonderful works we encountered on our route and the time absolutely flew by. Our stop for coffee at a local institution was a big hit! We ended the tour wanting more and Luis was really helpful with follow up messages of reminders and recommendations for so many more interesting places to visit locally. Thanks too for our precious humming birds!!
