Mexican Muralism - Half Day Walking Tour

Hi, I’m Erika and I'd love to introduce you to the history of my country. I’m a Certified Tourist Guide by the Mexican Ministry of Tourism; so I’d be glad to guide you through a tour in Mexico City. I’d love to accompany you visiting different places in this big city, such as the historical Downtown area, plus the most important museums or archaeological sites, in order to assist you with getting acquainted and understanding the ancient and modern Mexican history. For example, helping you gain notions about the different cultures that lived here a long time ago, which left a tangible and intangible heritage, such as pyramids and other forms of architecture, art, music, food, and so on. I’m really passionate about Mexican history. Since I was a little girl, I had a great interest about cultures from all across the world. Reading a few books, I quickly realized that Mexico was rich in culture and heritage. This ignited a spark in me, and I decided to study archaeology, as well as art history some time later, and further along, also museology, all in renowned Universities in Mexico. Learning more became a necessity for me, not only to understand the history of my country, but also to understand my own history, to understand myself. So, I’m really eager to share said acquired knowledge with you. As an Archaeologist, I have worked in government institutions for almost 20 years, and I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating in different archaeological projects with Mexican and foreign specialists, making explorations in important cities in Mexico studying different aspects, such as cave art, rock art & iconography. I have been a Tour Guide for half a decade too, and I’ve had beautiful experiences with people from different countries. I even established a beautiful friendship with some of them so far! I decided to impart Mexican culture and information because it’s very important for me to contribute to children’s education in Mexico, as well as to ensure foreign visitors acquire a different perception about Mexicans and our country. I’m a friendly person, and I truly enjoy meeting people and talking about our personal experiences. I would certainly like to hear about yours as well! Therefore, I want to invite you to engage in a different experience with me: learning while also having some fun. P.S. If you have a request for a special tour, just let me know!
