Photographs, movies, music, art, museums, travel, and walking are some of the things I enjoy a lot! Since I was a kid I liked history, watching documentaries and reading books. That passion grew in high school until finally, I decided to study History at the university. Also, something that I have always liked has been walking everywhere, allowing me to get to know better the places I go to. So my background in history, and hours walking around the city, make me a great option to get to know all the magical corners of Mexico City. As a historian, one specialization I took in my career was disclosure of history, bringing close historical knowledge to the non-specialist public by creating materials, tools, projects, exhibitions and, of course, guided tours. So I started to work as a guide just right after finishing university. First with school groups at museums, after with families, friends, and travelers on the streets, and finally I obtained the certificate from the Ministry of Tourism in Mexico Now I work all over the city, its museums, and the surroundings of Mexico City. What I love about my city is that you always have something to do, something to discover in its historical buildings, in the flavors of its markets, and in the people on its streets. Mexico City is the capital of this beautiful country, which is why it has witnessed the entire historical process that has gone through over the centuries. Together you will learn about its history, its artistic jewels in architecture and art, the social dynamics of its people, the flavors of the unique local Mexican gastronomy, and much more. Let me make your experience in Mexico unforgettable. I have a bachelor's degree in history by the National Autonomous University of Mexico and have been certified as a tourist guide by the Ministry of Tourism in México. I have taken refresher courses on archeology at the National Museum of Anthropology, in the same way I worked in this museum for 2 years. I have participated in historical dissemination projects, among them with the National Coordination of Historical Monuments. None as a guide I drive but I'm not a professional driver, so I usually hire a private driver to accompany us I only drive within the city, not on highways. For that I always hire a private driver

My first time with Tours by Locals and I will arrange more because of the guide! Extremely knowledge, passionate about the tour, and had an excellent driver. I was taken care of ...things were offered before I knew I needed them. Very professional, offered other suggestions for my visit, and never rushed.
See my review of Teotihuacan tour. Since we had tickets to tour Museo Frida Kahlo (Casa Azul) the next day, I had asked Ric (prior to our trip) if he would design a half-day tour of Mexico City that ended at Frida’s house at 5:00. He did exactly that, creating an itinerary that included a visit to the downtown historic center, a drive across town to the house/studio of Diego Rivera, a drive to and a walking tour of the Coyoacan neighborhood, and finally a finish right at Casa Azul. Ric and his driver, Ileana, had to deal with traffic extremes due to an protest that had blocked many streets . It was clear that their route had to be adjusted repeatedly. Throughout it all, Ric dealt with it all with grace and professionalism while providing a wealth of information. I cannot imagine accomplishing what we did that afternoon without him, nor can I overstate how pleased we were with Ric.
Ricardo did a fantastic job of tailoring the tour to our interests and to our special requirements. He is very knowledgeable and able to answer all of our questions. A great experience all around.
Rick was an excellent, knowledgeable guide and we had an ambitious, great six hour program, including the anthropology museum, markets and Casa Azul. A great into for our first time here, just what we asked for. We highly recommend Rick.
Ricardo (' Rich') was a very good guide who imparted lots of information on Frida and Diego. The visits to their houses and their jointly founded museum were interesting and delivered effectively. We had plenty of detailed questions on the way round which Rich was able to cover. His driver was also good and the whole day went off without any problems. We are really pleased to recommend this tour guide.
We had an amazing day, we will never forget! We got to see so much, and we loved hearing all the history. Ricardo is a perfect guide, he is very professional and knows everything of the city, the history and it was just perfect! He makes sure you have the best time!
