¡Hola! I'm Silvia, a proud Mexico City native tour guide, and I'm currently calling this vibrant city my home sweet home. As a historian, I've fallen head over heels for the tapestry of Mexico's history, culture, customs, traditions, and mouthwatering gastronomy. I'm here to dish out all the delightful details to the inquisitive travelers who venture our way. Back in my university days, art history swept me off my feet. That's what sparked my journey into unraveling the secrets behind the world's most pivotal artistic movements and iconic figures, both on a global scale and right here in Mexico. Fast forward to 2016, the year I took my first steps into the enchanting world of museums as a weekend guide. It was an eye-opener: I discovered my love for connecting with people and sharing the riches of our Mexican heritage! In 2019, I proudly earned my first tourist guide license, and ever since, I've been teaming up with various tour companies to unveil the sheer awesomeness and unparalleled uniqueness of Mexico, including its warm-hearted inhabitants and tasty gastronomy. Beyond my historical escapades, you'll often find me nose-deep in captivating books, jet-setting to far-flung destinations, immersing myself in the artistry housed within museums, mastering new languages, expressing my creativity through drawing, and savoring quality time with my cherished friends. I'm a genuine people person and love connecting with folks from all corners of the world! Now, let's talk about my love affair with Mexico City! It's an ever-evolving playground of captivating and enjoyable experiences, thanks to its boundless diversity and ceaseless liveliness. The magnetic atmosphere keeps me perpetually inspired, and I'm on a perpetual quest to uncover fresh and unconventional gems with every outing. In recent years, I’ve embraced the adventure of solo travel across Mexico, uncovering its hidden treasures and connecting deeply with its vibrant cultures. This heartfelt journey has not only enriched my understanding but also deepened my love for the beautiful country that is my home. In 2024, I had the chance of stepping into religious tourism for the first time, co-leading pilgrimage groups from Poland. Together, we beautifully wove Catholic faith with culture, history, and joyful moments across Mexico City, Puebla, Querétaro, Taxco, and Acapulco. Since then, I have come to understand more deeply the travelers who come to our country with heartfelt devotion, accompanying them not only as a guide but also as a respectful witness to their faith. Along the way, I have also grown to appreciate the richness of Polish culture and its beautiful language, which I continue to learn with genuine enthusiasm and affection, although I'm still at a baby level! In a nutshell, I consider myself a friendly, perpetually enthusiastic, and wonderfully empathetic individual who always seeks the silver lining in every twist and turn of life's grand adventure. Whether you're a history fan, a globetrotter, or simply craving positive vibes, let's embark on a thrilling journey through the magic of Mexico together! 2015 - B.A in History (UNAM-National Autonomous University of Mexico/Faculty of Philosophy and Literature) 2018 - License as a Specialized Tour Guide in Mexico City and Teotihuacan (Ministry of Tourism in Mexico) 2021 - License as a General Tour Guide (Ministry of Tourism in Mexico) I'm not a driver, but I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Overview of your Mexico City tour

Discover with me the awe-inspiring wonders of Teotihuacan on a private tour that promises to be nothing short of extraordinary. Your adventure begins with a morning pick-up (around 7 or 8 am) in Mexico City, ensuring that you make the most of the perfect weather and beat the crowds. As a historian, I promise we'll immerse ourselves in the true essence of Teotihuacan by skipping tourist traps and making good use of time. This UNESCO World Heritage site holds a profound significance in pre-Columbian history, and we're here to explore its mysteries and marvels. The towering pyramids of the Sun and Moon will leave you breathless, as will the Road of the Dead and the intricately designed Temple of the Feathered Serpent. Together, we'll unveil the secrets hidden within these ancient ruins. Once we're done, we'll return to Mexico City, ensuring a comfortable drop-off at your accommodation or any other convenient place before lunch. This tour is not just a journey; it's a glimpse into the soul of Mesoamerica!
