I've been living in Veracruz for 35 years and I love it! Veracruz is known as the main entrance of the mexican culture and its History. Veracruz is also rich in nature, is one of the states of México that has a lot of types of ecosystems, and I would like to have the opportunity to share my love of Veracruz and its heritages with you because knowing is loving, and maybe if you let me be your guide you will love Veracruz and you will want to come back.

I've worked as a tour guide for 15 years, not only in the city of Veracruz, also in its sorroundings. All my tours can be customized depending of your needs and expectations.

Tourist Guide Certified by Mexican Goverment, training as Gay Friendly Tourist Guide, also I have done a lot of courses of History of México and Veracruz, and I studied Tourism at the University.

I am not a driver. I can arrange for a separate car and driver when the tour doesn't includes tranportation. I am not an adventure guide, so in the adventure tours, I will be with you and another certified person will be guiding you.

The tour can start visiting San Juan de Ulúa, one of the most important fortress in America, and the only one in Mexico made with coral stone. It was built to protect the city from pirates and foreign enemies. It was also werehouse, prison and presidential house twice.

Veracruz 2 Hours Private City Tour

This tour is perfect to combine beautiful landscapes, legends, taste of coffee and local cuisine, all in one place.

This place is known as "Magic Village" by the Ministry of Tourism in Mexico, because of its unique traditions, and also because it seems that time don't pass away in this place.

We will visit a coffee plantation that has a beautiful view of the Texolo waterfall and learn everything about the coffee seed, since it is planted until it is served as an infussion.

Also we will have the oportunity to walk in the downtown, knowing some legends of the place, and visit some local museums. Or another waterfall in the same place. This is one of my favourite places to visit due to the local cuisine.
