Hi! My name is Enrique Ortiz , a passionate about Mexico's history and culture. Im a writer that already published 2 books with Penguin Random House Publisher, also a lecturer and a Official Tourist Guide (acknowledged by the Federal Ministry of Tourism, SECTUR). Join me to know the wonders of Mexico city and Teotihuacan, places with a lot of history, beautiful constructions and delicious food. Its not only about learning about the past and visiting beautiful places but spending a great time and convince you to return to Mexico! I was certified as a Federal Tourism Guide at the Tourism Higher School of the National Polytechnic Institute, where I graduated with honors as I achieved the second highest performance of my class. At present, I devote my time to my greatest passion: spreading and sharing the historic and cultural richness of Mexico. For eight years, I have organized and guided cultural and tourist tours in my country, which include the visit of archaeological sites, the historical downtown of Mexico City and Puebla, as well as of temples and convents built during the Viceroyalty. Thanks to the more than 200 tours I have guided, I am a faithful witness of the deep love and respect for Mexico reflected by my visitors and followers, who feel tempted to know more about my country's history and to come back again. In 2018, I was certified as a FEDERAL TOURIST GUIDE studying at the National Polytechnic Institute Tourism School where I graduated with honors as I achieved the second highest performance of my class. Im a writer mostly focused in prehispanic cultures (aztec and teotihuacan) and Mexico city history. Official name of the certification: NOM-08-TUR-2002 with 2 languages: Spanish and English None

First time visiting Mexico city? Are you into art, culture, history, colonial architecture? Well, this is the tour you are looking for. I am a historian, public figure, and a writer with 4 books published till the date (Penguin Random H. and Planeta) about Aztecs and Mesoamerican cultures. Come with me to visit the historic center of Mexico City, where the ancient capital of the Aztecs was constructed, where Hernán Cortés established the capital of the New Spain Viceroyalty. In this walking tour you will know the most important buildings of the city, going from Tenochtitlan in the XV century to Palacio de Bellas and Palacio de Correos constructed at the beginning of the XX century, passing through Cathedral and Palacio de los Azulejos , important colonial buildings. Enjoy with me Diego Rivera murals, the ruins of templo mayor and beautiful barroque retablos Is not only about culture, art and history, but visiting beautiful spaces, having fun!
Our walking tour through the heart of Mexico City with Enrique was outstanding! He was incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and made the city’s rich history come alive with every stop. From historic landmarks to hidden gems, Enrique guided us with warmth, humor, and insight. It felt like exploring the city with a local friend. Highly recommended!
If you are into Mexican history, art and colonial architecture this tour is a must. So much was covered and explored that's not to be missed. Enrique is an exceptional guide and very knowledgeable.
Enrique is an absolutely fabulous guide. My wife and I did a full day Cultural Tour with him. He is incredibly knowledgable about how the interplay of culture and history influenced the art of Mexico City. Although you can tour local museums on your own (for example Bellas Artes) you really need someone like Enrique to explain the artworks in detail. We learned so much thanks to him. We highly recommend Enrique for anyone interested in learning more about CDMX culture, history, and art.
Enrique's tour was wonderful. He was in excellent communication with us from the beginning and then delivered a wonderful tour of the city historical center that encompassed an overview of Belles Artes, the works of Diego Rivera and then the Aztec temples. We also had a delightful lunch with him as well. He was generous with his time and knowledge and a pleasure to be with. We will be using him again and have recommended him to many other people traveling to Mexico City.
Our party of four had an amazing tour of The Historic Center with Enrique yesterday. It was wonderful to experience the city through the eyes of this top notch guide and scholar. Enrique packs a lot of history and insight into his tour while still keeping it casual and fun. It was like strolling around the city with a friend. He's incredibly knowledgable about everything Mexican, the art, architecture, history and of course current culture. I've already recommended his tour to friends visiting next week.
Enrique did a great job of helping us understand the big picture while sharing interesting details. He was knowledgeable and took care of our small group as we explored the major sites. I would recommend this tour to any one new to Mexico City!
