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.

Explore the pyramid of the sun, moon, avenue of the dead with an Historian
Overview of your Mexico City tour
If you are by Mexico City for only few hours and you want to do the number 1 activity in the city, contact me for exploring an amazing historic site in a 5 hour experience. Teotihuacan can be considered as the biggest city of Americas, and probably of the ancient world. Located 60 minutes northeast of Mexico city is the archeological site of Teotihuacan, that is a 900 hundred years old city (200 BC-700 AD), for this is the most researched prehispanic ruins of Mexico, and even though we don't know who where the people that build it. Together we can explore and imagine how this ancient civilization lived, through walking by the main avenue of the site, admiring the pyramids of the sun and moon. If you have further questions, please let me know so I can create a customized tour plan for you. Otherwise, I am looking forward to confirming your booking and seeing you soon in my beautiful city.

Our family had an insightful Teotihuacan Pyramids tour with Jose Luis. He picked us up right on time from our hotel in a clean van, described the different neighborhoods a long the way to the Pyramids and kept our interest piqued the entire time walking the 3 Pyramids. Jose Luis welcomed questions and provided time for discussions. Highly recommend Jose Luis!
