I am passionate about traveling and adventures, likely as you are. I am 41 years old and currently living in Mexico City, providing private tours to international customers. I was born and raised in Mexico, but have extensively traveled Europe, North, and Central America. At the age of 19, I moved to Montreal - Canada - for what was a life-changing experience. The time spent living in Canada allowed me not only to improve my language skills (both English and French) but contributed to change my entire perspective and shape my personality. As I returned to Mexico, I started working as an adventure tour guide in the Mayan Riviera, guiding people on ATVs through the jungle or snorkeling in the coral reefs. Then I moved back to Mexico City and started my tour guiding career here in DF, touring people on Segways around the city. I am passionate about the outdoor, I really enjoy the feeling to be out in the mountains, hiking and camping. I also love film and music in particular jazz, funk and soul. Let me show you Mexico City, one of the biggest cities in the world, rich in history, myths, legends, street life, and culture. This capital is both the oldest capital city in the Americas and what was once the biggest and most powerful empire. Let's discover the most interesting museums, delight our palate at restaurants and markets. We'll visit jaw-dropping ancient sites, and feed our eyes with art at Frida Kalo's house. We'll follow Pancho Villa's trails while we try the best tequila in town. Let's learn how to dance to the hottest Latin live music. All this and so, so much more. . . Life is not about finding yourself, life is about creating yourself. Certified Tour Guide # N009922. Certified by the Ministry of Tourism Professional experience in Ecotourism in the Mayan Riviera. I only do pick-ups within Mexico City central area. Santa Fe, Interlomas, Puebla, and Queretaro are not included.

I recently had the pleasure of joining Enrique and his team for a mezcal tasting on a boat in Mexico City, and it was an unforgettable experience! Enrique and his teams passion and knowledge of mezcal, combined with the unique and charming boat setting, made for an exceptional time. We had the best time savoring the different flavors and learning from an expert, and I would gladly do it again.

Enrique gave us exactly what we were looking for, he took us to Xochimilco and we went to the old market, giving us a taste of what old, traditional Mexico is like, we went to buy ingredients to make guacamole on the boats. He arranged everything for us, boats, drinks, food and we spent a few hours on the lake, eating, drinking and learning about Mezcal and the historical importance of the lakes in the Mexico city basin.

Enrique is great! He is very friendly and knows his stuff. I learned a lot about the area from his tour. I will definitely use him again when I go back to Mexico.

This was our second tour with Enrique and it was fantastic. The pre-tour communication is great and he let's you know just what to expect and what the logistics will be. Touring with Enrique is like having a good friend in Mexico City. He know all the best spots and has great access to off the beaten path attractions. We will definitely call him again for our next trip.

This was my second tour with Enrique and his skilled driver, but if I had stayed longer in Mexico City, it would not have been my last. As before, professional, prompt, and humorous—- it was a delightful day! I made it T the top of the pyramid ( and down), thanks to these gentlemen. They were superb! I would recommend them for any adventure in Mexico.

We had a great experience with Enrique! Due to pandemic closings we were not able to pursue our ideal itinerary, Enrique substituted a number of other excursions to fill the gaps and provide an even broader set of insights into the history and culture of CDMX. In addition to all of the sites (with Teotihuacan easily being our favorite), Enrique brought us to some local restaurant locations we never would have experienced on our own -- which is exactly why we enjoy ToursByLocals. Mexico is open!
