Hi! Welcome to one of the greatest cities in the world. Let me show you around. I'm a history and anthropology enthusiast, an art and culture expert, writer, amateur photographer, food scientis and professional brewer, born and raised in Mexico City. I've been exploring the city since I was a little kid, I know its ins and outs, the classic landmarks, and the hidden secrets. I would love to share all of this with you. I've lived in various cities both in and outside Mexico, so whenever I came back, I would take some friends with me and show them around. I loved doing it, so I decided to train myself and research extensively in order to offer the best tours I could. I won't lie, this city is a monster, and as any monster can be kind of intimidating, but if you are kind and patient, with a little bit of help (hopefully my help), the monster will open up and show you the magic that's hiding in plain sight, in the middle of the chaos. Feel free to contact me in order to customize a tour to your interests and needs. I'll tailor something so you can move around as if you've lived here all your life.

Overview of your Mexico City tour

We'll start with an early visit to the traditional Xochimilco canals. We can either take the famous trajinera or you can hop on a kayak and discover the chinampas for yourself as you watch the sun rise from the foggy landscape. Afterward, we'll go to UNAM's Olympic stadium and central library where you will be able to appreciate murals from Juan O'gorman, David Alfaro Siqueiros, and Diego Rivera. At the University I'll take you to visit the cultural center, we'll walk around the beautiful Sculptural Area and, if you feel like it, you will have time to visit the MUAC (University Museum of Contemporary Art). Our last stop will be the Anahuacalli museum, an impressive building designed by Diego Rivera to safeguard his personal collection of prehispanic art along with 16 sketches of different Rivera's murals. Any of the stops can be changed for a tour through Coyoacan I always take my camera with me, and if you want me to I can be your personal photographer for the whole day.

Diego was excellent today as well as yesterday. His English was as good as mine. It was as if we hired an historian as our guide and his ability to cover Mexican history gave us a great understanding of the Country. We've used Tours By Locals all over the world and Diego was the best we ever had. Thanks Diego for two educational and informative days of sightseeing. Barry and Min

Diego is a wonderful tour guide. He has an in depth knowledge of the history of Mexico City and Mexico in general, as well as architecture. We feel lucky to have had such a fabulous tour. It brought so much more to our first time visit to Mexico City. Diego also had excellent tips about the culture. I fear that I'm now spoiled and won't have as great a tour guide again.

Diego is a charming, knowledgeable, flexible, and insightful tour guide. We saw and experienced sites of which we would otherwise have been unaware. Diego had witty and interesting things to say, and he was able to adapt the tour to accommodate our interests. Highlights included a round pyramid, the public art at the university, the charming neighborhood of Coyoacan, and the extraordinary museum of pre-Hispanic artifacts collected by Diego Rivera.

My two brothers and I had the pleasure of having Diego as our guide in Mexico City. Diego drew up a perfect itinerary for our 5-day tour taking into account our interests and made sure we were able to maximise our time for a wonderful experience and introduction to Mexico. We had an amazing tour with Diego, being shown the architecture and learning the history, arts and culture of the city. Diego was pleasant, friendly and very knowledgeable. We would recommend Diego to anyone visiting Mexico City.

Best guide we have ever had, Diego led us through the centuries with his knowledge and charm. From entertaining stories of the ruins, conquerors, churches, castles and artists; concluding with his personal guidance through the incredible National Art Museum and Archeological Museum, we were fascinated, and enlightened. He is a guide who is always by your side to both lead and answer questions. We give a strong recommendation to have Diego bring a local perspective of Mexico today and yesterday.
