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
If you already know the classic Templo Mayor and Teotihuacan pyramids, and are looking for different, non-crowded prehispanic attractions, this tour is for you! Many archeological sites in Mexico City remain unknown even to some locals, but in this tour we will visit four of them. Cuicuilco is the biggest and most impressive of them all. When one of the first major cities in the entire Mexican territory (700 BCE) was entirely covered by lava time stopped allowing historians to discover a well-preserved circular pyramid from which you can see the beautiful biodiversity of southern CDMX. Our last stop will be the Mixcoatl pyramid in the middle of the Mixcoac neighborhood, a small but important part of the city's history!

When you book Diego E, you get much more than is in the website description. First, he is a wonderful young man, very interested in showing you the best Mexico City has to offer. I booked the Mexico City Archaeology tour which included the little-visited sites of Cuicuilco, Copilco and Mixcoac. We stopped for lunch in Coyacan (he is a foodie so picked a wonderful restaurant (my treat!), and he offered an optional visit to the Anahuacalli Museum which is Diego Rivera’s own collection of pre-colonial art. In the midst of all this, he drives thru interesting Mexico City neighborhoods all the while pointing out their historical significance and architecture. There is plenty of opportunity to take photos. You can’t do better than travel with Diego. I would book him again in a heartbeat.

In preparing for my tour, Diego was quickly responsive and accommodating. Prompt in arriving. Excellent driver. Easy-going and comfortable to be with. And then the tour! In listening to Diego talk, I felt transported back in time by his full narratives, sensitive observations, and deep knowledge. I feel I learned so much and Diego gave me a solid base from which to learn more, which this tour made me want to do. I really appreciated this experience very much.

Diego is an excellent guide in all ways. He is reliable, knowledgeable and so interesting ! Diego aoufht our input and flexes to every preference. When time for finding a lunch restaurant he recalled an earlier reference ans provided four with names with our choosing. He is a great driver as we crossed the busy city streets. Highly recommend Diego!
