I'm passionate about the history, traditions, rich gastronomy, nature observation, and social dynamics that make for the cultural wealth of this complex country that we call Mexico. At every place I guide you, I'll provide information about the history, art, famous people, and special places that you will find beautiful and interesting. Before being an independent nation Mexico was a colony of the Spanish Empire for almost 300 years, we inherited a legacy of architecture, art, religion, social organization, gastronomy, language, and traditions that mixed with the ancient culture of the civilizations that strived here. Mexico has several archaeological sites, natural marvels, colonial towns, and traditions that I take pride in going off the beaten track to find. People and their complex relations is a most interesting field of study through direct contact, history, and even archaeology; on my tours and services you'll contact with the communities, the cooperatives, and the real people who offer their services and the role I play is of a facilitator and translator for you to get to know the country as deep as you may. My adventure-seeking attitude, preparation as a certified Tour Guide, Dive Master, and other qualifications will lead you toward the most thrilling experiences in the most professional way. Every activity I plan carefully for the safety and full enjoyment of my customers, with more than 25 years of experience in the tourism industry, I am committed to the service and well-being of my guests, who often become long-lasting friendships. I started in the tourism activity as a waiter and earned the Five Diamond Award for Excellence in Service two years in a row at The Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Cancun, I have experience planning complex logistics, leading groups, solving special requests, and enjoying new demanding challenges. Thank you for your interest in my services, I'm looking forward to providing a memorable experience of your visit to Mexico.

Overview of your Mexico City tour

On this tour I will show you one of the world's most amazing butterflies; you will learn about the mass migrations that Monarchs take to warmer climates each winter. The beautiful Monarch butterflies are known for the incredible mass migration that brings millions of them to California and central Mexico each winter, I will take you to the best observation areas where you will awe your eyes with this beautiful insects, while I introduce you to the details of their migration, reproduction, habitat, diet and other facts that make this an amazing experience with me. North American monarch butterflies are the only ones that make such a massive journey - up to 3, 000 miles. The insects must begin this journey each fall ahead of cold weather, which will kill them if they wait too long.

I cannot overstate how wonderful Alberto was as a guide and a person. We had several special requests to tailor our tour to our needs and Alberto went above and beyond to make our day memorable. Alberto is a wealth of information on the beautiful country that lives in and loves. If we are ever lucky enough to return we would gladly do another tour with Alberto--or just contact him to hang out. He described himself as "the luckiest man in Mexico," but we were the ones who felt lucky to share a day with him.

Alberto was a wonderful guide for our Monarch Butterfly tour. He was kind, friendly, reliable and very knowledgeable on a wide variety of topics. We got so much more out of the experience than we would have without him. And the Monarchs are amazing! Root for sun and warm weather, but it is an amazing experience.

This was an amazing tour that we will never forget. The horseback ride and additional path climbing were quite an experience. Although viewing the butterflies is dependent upon temperature and amount of sunlight and we had a somewhat cloudy day, to be among these beautiful creatures is worthwhile. Alberto is a fantastic guide and an even more special person. He stayed with us every step (horse and human) of the way., was extremely patient and helpful in assisting my wife.. His knowledge ,desire to share information, and answer questions was wonderful. He is extremely personable and we delighted in conversing with him, not only about butterflies and Mexico, but also on a more personal basis. He took us to a tiny restaurant in Valle de Bravo and the food was spectacular. From start to finish, although along day, we had a marvelous day, especially due to the company of Alberto.

The butterfly sanctuary has been on my bucket list for decades. But we are in our 70s, and I was concerned that this was beyond our capabilities. Alberto arranged extra help to get us up and down the steep mountain trail. He and the guides were patient and kind and encouraged us to rest when needed. So I not only got to tick butterflies off my bucket list, I was able to do so comfortably and with dignity because of Alberto's initiative and concern. Thanks, Alberto, for an experience of a lifetime.
