Hi everyone! Thank you for visiting my site. Let me introduce myself by telling you that I am a certified tourist guide (from SECTUR the tourism national Department ) eager to show the wonderful places, history, customs, art crafts and the delicious food of my hometown. I was born and raised in Mexico City and there are amazing places that we can visit; if you are looking for history, archeological sites, food, typical arts and crafts, you are in the right place. I've had the opportunity to guide travel in Mexico City and many other states within the country. Mexico has much history worth knowing; such as the prehispanic, colonial and contemporary eras. Teotihuacán is one of my favorite places to visit, since it's the core of the Mesoamerican cultures. We'll visit places where you'll fully understand why that city became one of the most important cities during the Classic Period. I love guide traveling because it gives me the opportunity of meeting new people. I can assure you that I will do my best in order to make of any of my tours not only places where you will learn about history but experiences you will remember for ever. I'm flexible to each visitor's requirements. I believe this job is constantly changing as it implies new information and discoveries, hence, I like keeping myself up to date with conferences and seminars. I want my tourists to enjoy a full and rich experience of their trip, and that's not only discovering Mexico's history, but by living Mexico. We'll be going not only to the city's main sights, but also to those secret & classic spots that only us locals know about, and enjoying the warm spirit that Mexico has. I certainly love what I do and I do what I love. Certified federal tourist guide by the Ministry of Tourism None

Overview of your Mexico City tour

Come with me and discover places that you could never imagine! Our first stop would be the city of Cholula and its archaeological site, where the largest pyramid of the world is located. I really enjoy this tour because there is simply too much to see. Even as a local guide, it always thrills me how the Church of the Virgin of Remedies was built on top of the pyramid. However, I feel fascinated every time we visit the church of Santa Maria Tonantzintla. The evident result of the merge of two worlds. This church will simply take your breath away! Not less fascinating is the city of Puebla, I am eager to show you what this city can offer not only a significant part of Mexico's history but also culture, customs and an exquisite cuisine. Let me take you to the Cathedral at the core of the city. Let yourself be captured by the beauty of the chapel of the Virgen del Rosario, considered to be the eight wonder of the new world. You can be sure I'll do my best to make of this tour an incredible experience!

Our guide, Alicia Herrara Martinez, was the best guide my friend and I had during a week in Mexico City. She’s extremely knowledgeable about Mexican history and took us to some particularly spectacular churches in Puebla. Our tour extended three hours beyond her commitment.Finally, she was thoughtful and accommodating regarding my minor disability.

Unfortunately we ran into major traffic delays and weather on this trip. As a result we weren't able to experience everything we had hoped to. Alicia was an excellent guide with good information and she modified the itinerary to fit our needs and interests. She made the best of the situation.

Alicia is an outstanding tour guide. We did a day trip from Mexico City to Cholula and Puebla. She went out of her way to build a customised tour for us. She's incredibly knowledgeable about Mexican history from ancient times to the present. Overall we had a fantastic time with her and learnt a lot. Highly recommended!!!

We just finished a tour with Alicia last night. She was incredibly good. Other than very knowledgeable in the period shortly before and after the arrival of the Spanish culture, she was a "human GPS". We returned on a Friday night and the traffic was very bad. Without her human intelligence, it would likely take us another hour before our hungry bellies hit a restaurant. My wife and I felt safe to travel with her. Thank you Alicia. You are must wonderful!
