I am passionate about traveling and adventures, likely as you are. I am 38 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.

All right, first off Enrique is a great guide and Armando is a great and very safe driver. Armando also did a great job assisting with this tour. If you book this tour with these guys or any of their other tours, I would bet you're going to have a great experience. Taxco is a great town to visit, certainly smaller and quieter than Mexico City and Puebla. There are silver shops everywhere and the history of the town is very interesting. We also stopped at a cave, Grutas de Cacahuamilpa, 5 stars for sure.

Absolutely brilliant time! We couldn't have asked for a better guide. Enrique's was full of knowledge about Taxco and the Caves. Two great places to visit. His English was perfect and we would thoroughly recommend him and this tour to other people looking for a day out from CDMX.

Our trip to Taxco was excellent; a fascinating city. Enrique took the time and effort to show us many of its facets. His driver was very good as well and helpful in making a long trip less tiring. Enrique chose a nice restaurant and the activities were diverse and tailored to our interests. We also enjoyed the trip to the cave on the way back to Mexico City.
Haleigh S.United States
Enrique and his driver, Armando, are both fantastic! They are able to tailor your time together to your desired pace and interests. We got to see so much of Mexico City that we would never have explored on our own. Enrique is great with kids as well, making him the perfect guide for families. Looking forward to returning to Mexico City soon!

I had so much fun!! Enrique was knowledgeable and professional! Along with his outstanding driver, I was able to see the Temple of the Serpents and Taxco. We had a marvelous lunch, rode in the VW beetle, saw a silver mine and shopped for silver. Enrique created a unique and fantastic tour! I highly recommend Enrique!
