Guide #23800
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.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about our tour with Alberto and Tours by Locals in general. From the very beginning, booking, changes, etc. everything was made easy by this company. Alberto made our day at the pyramids educational, myth busting, fun, and delicious. He has been guiding tours for many years and has a vast knowledge about the pyramids, Mexico and the...
We had the privilege of Alberto being our guide for 5 days in April 2026. He was knowledgeable, articulate, kind, gracious, fun to be with, and an overall great guide. We would use him again in a minute if we have the chance to return to Mexico and we think anybody would be fortunate to tour with him. We couldn't recommend him more highly in every way.

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Podolsky, Thank you for your kind words. I enjoyed sharing a bit of my country and culture with you. I will be looking forward to serving you again! Regards, Alberto
Alberto compressed what could have been a full tour’s worth information into the few hours we had available. He was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and passionate about the artifacts and their stories. He did a great job of finding the highlights in the areas we were most interested in. We would highly recommend Alberto as a guide.
