Hi! I’m Juan, a certified tour guide with Mexico’s Ministry of Tourism and a graduate in English Teaching from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). I was born and raised in Mexico City, and I’ve spent my whole life in this lively, fascinating place. After several years as an English teacher, I met a student who had been a tour guide for many years. He saw my passion for Mexican history and suggested I try guiding tours—and he was right! Not long after earning my certification, I realized that guiding had become my true calling. I love sharing Mexico through my eyes, helping visitors return home with unforgettable memories, and, of course, fantastic photos (I also enjoy photography and know the best spots for great shots!). My goal is for you to enjoy Mexico City safely, at your own pace, with a trip tailored to your interests. Feel free to reach out so we can customize your experience in CDMX whether before you arrive or even during your stay. I look forward to showing you the best of what this incredible city has to offer. Get ready for an unforgettable adventure! - Certified tour guide by the Ministry of Tourism in Mexico (SECTUR) - Degree in English Teaching from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) For groups of more than 4 people (or those who prefer extra comfort), I can arrange a spacious Toyota Sienna or similar vehicle with a professional driver, available for an additional fee.

Overview of your Mexico City tour

Puebla is a beautiful colonial city located just hours from Mexico City. It was first built as a place for the wealthy Spanish society but in time, it became a fascinating multicultural city. Puebla has lots of charming towns with so much history. One of them is Cholula, an ancient town as old as Teotihuacan! In Cholula you can admire and even walk through the biggest pyramid in the world (in terms of volume). The pyramid is a perfect example of the syncretism that took place in Mexico after the conquest, since today there is a church on top of it. Once in the city of Puebla, get ready to explore its colorful houses with tiles and to visit fantastic baroque churches such as "The Rosary Chapel" and its Cathedral. If you are interested in real Mexican food, Puebla is the best place to try "mole with chicken" and "chiles en nogada," two of the most representative Mexican dishes that no one should miss!

If you visit Puebla, which you should, there is no better guide than Juan to share the deep history, culture, and sites of the area. A truly impressive guide who made our experience memorable.

Juan is an incredible tour guide! We recently completed 4 tours with him and thoroughly enjoyed every single one. His company made our experience even more special. Juan has a wealth of knowledge and information and it’s clear he’s passionate about what he does. He’s a great story teller, very engaging and personable. We were travelling with my 86-year old mom and Juan was thoughtful enough to make adjustments throughout the tours. That level of care meant a lot to us. Over our four days together, we bonded with Juan like family. He made our time in Mexico City memorable. We highly recommend booking tours with Juan and for any future travels to Mexico City, we will definitely be reaching out to him again.

We enjoyed Juan as our guide to Cholula&Puebla. Juan was punctual and cared about our safety on the 2-hour drive. He was knowledgeable about the areas and was very patient in explaining history to our children. We all loved Juan’s good energy and friendly personality. We highly recommend touring with Juan. We definitely will do another tour with him next time we are in town.

Juan was great as always. Knew the history and the hidden gems. Difficult to cover in a day but he did it well.

Juan is an outstanding guide. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable about Mexican culture and history, but he is truly a lovely person and great company. You feel like you are traveling with an old friend who is introducing you to a vast and deep cultural experience. Everything he showed us or recommended that we try was excellent. My friends and I intend to book another trip with him next time we are in Mexico. He exceeded our expectations in every way.

My wife and I had the pleasure of having Juan as our guide for an exciting day trip to Cholula and Puebla. Juan’s historical and architectural knowledge of both cities is unrivaled. We toured the Santuario de Nuestra Señora de los Remedios which sits upon the unexcavated pyramid, Tlachihualtepetl. The climb was worth it as the view of the city and volcanoes is spectacular. We also toured the Puebla Cathedral and the Capilla del Rosario en al Templo de Santo Domingo in Puebla. Juan also recommended an outstanding restaurant for lunch, Mural de los Poblanos, where we tried a variety of mole dishes and local cocktails. We highly recommend this tour. You can’t go wrong with having Juan as your guide.
