Hi! I’m Juan, a certified tour guide with Mexico’s Ministry of Tourism and a graduate in English Teaching from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). I was born and raised in Mexico City, and I’ve spent my whole life in this lively, fascinating place. After several years as an English teacher, I met a student who had been a tour guide for many years. He saw my passion for Mexican history and suggested I try guiding tours—and he was right! Not long after earning my certification, I realized that guiding had become my true calling. I love sharing Mexico through my eyes, helping visitors return home with unforgettable memories, and, of course, fantastic photos (I also enjoy photography and know the best spots for great shots!). My goal is for you to enjoy Mexico City safely, at your own pace, with a trip tailored to your interests. Feel free to reach out so we can customize your experience in CDMX whether before you arrive or even during your stay. I look forward to showing you the best of what this incredible city has to offer. Get ready for an unforgettable adventure! - Certified tour guide by the Ministry of Tourism in Mexico (SECTUR) - Degree in English Teaching from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) For groups of more than 4 people (or those who prefer extra comfort), I can arrange a spacious Toyota Sienna or similar vehicle with a professional driver, available for an additional fee.

After this tour, you will have a very good idea of how exciting and interesting Mexico City can be! You will visit the main highlights of the Historical Center and Chapultepec (two areas that no one should miss!). First, we will visit the only Castle in Latin America where a real European Emperor lived (1863-1867). Today it is the National Museum of History. Walking around its gardens and hallways will make you feel like a true Emperor. As the Castle is on top of the Chapultepec hill, get ready to enjoy one of the best views of Mexico City! We will return in time to discover the amazing Aztec ruins and magnificent colonial buildings such as the Cathedral (the largest in Latin America) and the National Palace. In just a few blocks we will see and learn about the mighty Aztec Empire, the Spanish conquest, the colonial period, 19th-century architecture and modern buildings (Traditional Mexican food is also part of it!).
Juan is a fantastic tour guide and he has made this introduction to Mexico City tour the perfect way to get started with the city. He highlighted some unmissable areas of the city and combined seeing the beautiful scenery with a full explanation of the past history and modern influences at every sight. Juan took great care of us through unexpected weather and was so enjoyable to visit with. Highly recommend taking this tour on one of your first days in CDMX!
Excellent tour with excellent guide. Juan is a very knowledgeable guide with perfect English and great personality. Highly recommended!
Juan was a really great host for a first time trip to Mexico City. He is kind, easy to talk to, and very knowledgeable about the subject matter. At times this tour can feel a little rushed, but it’s an over view - and you may have to go back to specific spots to go more in depth. Juan gives great references for other spots to visit and dine in.
I am 74 years old. I have taken more than 100 tours. Juan was the best tour guide I ever had.
What a great tour. Our guide was so smart, engaging and knowledgeable. We highly recommended this tour a great introduction to this amazing City. We were able to get a great lay of the land and then able to plan our other days in Mexico City more effectively.
Juan is a terrific guide. His conversational English is excellent. He will take you to very interesting places that are off the beaten path. He is flexible and responsive and he is extremely knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Juan!
