Hello Amigos! Join me to explore unique experiences. I am an historian and great connoisseur of Art, Architecture, Culture, Museums, Food, Traditions and Lifestyles of Mexico City. I started guiding and sharing my passion of mexican culture when I finished university in 2016 , and since then I have been collaborating with several tour companies. By doing this I discovered the importance of having not only a tour guide, as a traveller you will need a LOCAL FRIEND that can give you any detail about what to do, eat, see, and visit in my city. With my professional experience, my passion for my country and my pride for my culture you will get more than a tour service, you will receive safety, fun, interesting, customized and enriching experiences, ¡ 100% guaranteed ! For the above, I would love to guide you around my city and show you more than of the classic sites, I will also share with you the hidden and fascinating not so known details. I plan carefully every activity for any special request that you might have, so I am happy to customize and offer a memorable experience, so I encourage you to contact me and have a great time while visiting Mexico city. - Major in History by the UNAM (Latin America's Most Important University). - Licesend Tour Guide by the Ministry of Tourism of Mexico - Specialization Course in Mexican Art History by the UNAM and Amparo Museum (2020) - First Aid Certification (2022, 2018). - Course by the Mexican Health Minister in: Tourism: Safe return (Sept 2020) - For larger groups, more than 6 we have to use a Rented Van with private driver, so this will cause an increase in the price of the tours.

Overview of your Mexico City tour

Puebla is a beautiful colonial city built for the wealthy spanish society, now preserves over 2000 baroque monuments. In this tour one of my aims is to show you the best expressions of mexican colonial art. Besides that, Puebla has lots of charming towns in its surroundings with so much history. One of them is Cholula, considered the oldest prehispanic city in our continent and also the biggest base pyramid in the world. I really enjoy this place because there is simply too much to see, even as a local guide, it always thrills me how on the base are labyrinth tunnels and on top of the pyramid is a church located. At the same time, I feel fascinated every time we visit the churches of Tonantzintla and Acatepec, evidence of the merge of two ideologies: the indigenous and the spanish. This churches take your breath away. Not less fascinating is the downtown of Puebla, my goal is to share with you its culture, customs, amazing architecture and exquisite cuisine (mole, chiles en nogada and cemitas).
