Hi everyone! Thank you for visiting my site. Let me introduce myself by telling you that I am a certified tourist guide (from SECTUR the tourism national Department ) eager to show the wonderful places, history, customs, art crafts and the delicious food of my hometown. I was born and raised in Mexico City and there are amazing places that we can visit; if you are looking for history, archeological sites, food, typical arts and crafts, you are in the right place. I've had the opportunity to guide travel in Mexico City and many other states within the country. Mexico has much history worth knowing; such as the prehispanic, colonial and contemporary eras. Teotihuacán is one of my favorite places to visit, since it's the core of the Mesoamerican cultures. We'll visit places where you'll fully understand why that city became one of the most important cities during the Classic Period. I love guide traveling because it gives me the opportunity of meeting new people. I can assure you that I will do my best in order to make of any of my tours not only places where you will learn about history but experiences you will remember for ever. I'm flexible to each visitor's requirements. I believe this job is constantly changing as it implies new information and discoveries, hence, I like keeping myself up to date with conferences and seminars. I want my tourists to enjoy a full and rich experience of their trip, and that's not only discovering Mexico's history, but by living Mexico. We'll be going not only to the city's main sights, but also to those secret & classic spots that only us locals know about, and enjoying the warm spirit that Mexico has. I certainly love what I do and I do what I love. Certified federal tourist guide by the Ministry of Tourism None

Overview of your Mexico City tour

Let me tell you about this small but beautiful and painteresque town of Mexico. This is one of the tours that I love to make, not only for the beauty of this small town close to Cuernavaca in the south of Mexico City but for all the "magnetic energy" that surrounds this place. Have you ever taken part in a Temazcal ritual? This baths have been used by different cultures in Mesoamerica for medicinal purposes. Just to mention a few of the benefits of this practice let me tell you that it improves the blood system, detox the body and renew the cells of the skin. The whole ritual is performed by a "chaman" . However, if you have the energy to climb the "Tepozteco" mountain, that would be a challenge to achieve. Tepoztlan is a beautiful town, surrounded by the Tepozteco Mountains. There is a convent founded in the XVI century. Amazingly there are still beautiful frescos that endured the pase of time.

Alicia was an amazing guide! She is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. She always took the time to answer all my questions and her English is great as well! I have been to many countries and tours and she is one of the best guides I have ever encountered. She is very passionate about what she does and I had a great trip with her. She even found a vegan restaurant for me to eat at. I would without hesitation recommend her to anyone visiting Mexico. She will make your entire trip an unforgettable experience!

I wanted to balance my time in ultra-urban Mexico City with some fresh-air, mountain hiking. Alicia's day in the Tepozteo Mtns was the perfect compliment. The hike was challenging, the view from the top was spectacular, and the walking tour of the town afterwards was delightful. We visited a restored monastery, sampled native drinks, and enjoyed lunch in a local market. Alicia is a professional Mexican woman proud of her country and knowledgeable of its history. I highly recommend her tours.

I can't say enough good things about this tour. Alicia and Ale were wonderful to spend time with and the temazcal experience was unforgettable. Rogelio, the shaman who performed the temazcal, was very accommodating and spent a lot of time explaining to us the ceremony and the meaning behind each part. Alicia is very knowledgeable and shared a lot of Mexican history with us as we drove through the city. Afterwards, we ate at the local market where the food was delicious. I recommend this tour highly.
