HOLA! Welcome to Mexico City that once was called the City of Palaces! and still remains so. . . Many people believe that one of the best ways to get to know a place is one of the easiest - JUST WALK AROUND IT! Yes, Mexico City is huge , walkable and still unknown in many aspects by foreigners and even locals. As a Mexico City born I know the ways to get around the city and I have been working as tour guide since 2007 with people from all over the world and in different languages: English, French, German and of course Spanish. Also I have designed itineraries for visitors travelling on business or for pleasure. Having traveled to 30 countries in 4 continents becoming also a TRAVELER . I am one of very few CERTIFIED tour guides by The Mexican ministry of Tourism that is also a SOMMELIER (wine professional). Lived in France for a few years where I started lo learn about the fascinating world of wine and specialized in Traditional Mezcales. I have visited several communities that produce small-batch in the traditional way , have contact direct contact with producers and also support some projects to continue with a tradition that is threatened by all industrialized productions. I Love a cup of a cup of great coffee that's why I am getting deeper knowledge about Specialty coffee , visiting coffee shops not only in Mexico but also when I travel abroad Enjoy my tours Certified tour guide by the Mexican Ministry of Tourism (SECTUR) International Relations bachelor's degree by UNAM ( Latin America's most important University) Sommelier by Fundación Sommeliers Traditional Mezcales connaisseur Specialty Coffee connaisseur None
