Hello from Mexico, and thank you for visiting my site. I hope that with these lines you can get to know me a bit. I was born and raised in Mexico City 37 years ago so can assure you will be with a local. Since I was little, my parents always tried to show me the world in different ways. By reading books, traveling whenever we could, and visiting museums, as well. I have always been very inquisitive. This took me to try different experiences to find my true passion. It was in 2014 when I finally found it, I moved to Riviera Maya ( what a beautiful paradise) and there the opportunity was presented to me so I decided to take it. I began understanding the heritage of my culture which lead me to begin with my official certification as a tour guide. In order to be one, you have to have some skills, even though it sounds like an easy job (it is wonderful do not get me wrong) it has as every job, its challenges. You have to meet people from all over the world, learn different languages, in my case English and German and try to sum up centuries of history in a couple of hours. You also need to explain it in such a way, that is easy to understand and you have to deal sometimes with a cultural shock which is quite common. I have always been a people person, therefore, I studied psychology at University, but this great mixture between history, behavior, and mindset, made me realize how interesting I find anthropology. Since 2017 I decided to move back to my hometown Mexico City and I began guiding in the places that I used to visit as a guest. Teotihuacan, The National Anthropology Museum, The Chapultepec Castle, The Zocalo and Downtown, Frida Kahlo's Blue House, Xochimilco, among others. Then I had the opportunity to begin traveling with groups thru different routes of the Mexican Republic. We went from Mexico City to Cancun on a road trip, making stops in wonderful places such as Puebla, Oaxaca, Chiapas, Tabasco, Campeche, Yucatan. I get excited only to think about all the stories to tell from each place. There is also another great route starting in Mexico City heading to Guanajuato, Zacatecas, Tequila, Michoacan, and Guadalajara, each of these destinations is unique. Guiding is a beautiful way of living that keeps me moving daily not only physically but also mindfully. The gasoline that moves this little motor whenever I go and offer a tour is you, the guests. Coming from all around the world and those Oh wow! moments that I will never get tired of. The questions, whenever you think you are done learning about a place, there comes that doubt or this perspective that makes you go back to the books and find more information about the topic, and enrich your knowledge about the landmarks. So, the first step you have already done it. The destination you are choosing is so rich in culture. Allow me please to take you by the hand and show you all the wonders that this great country has to offer. All my tours can be customized, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions I have certification as an official general tour guide in Mexico which was issued by the Secretary of Tourism. In order to get it, I had to study different topics related to the Mexican history and culture and at the end pass an exam. That was not it because we need to be updated and self-taught by reading plenty history books. I am not a driver but I will get a private vehicle with a driver for you.

Jocelyn was amazing. Well designed tour, was great with my family and the kids of the group. Quality of the organized transport was very good and even on the fly adjustments to fit everything nicely were no problem. Definitely would recommend to anyone!

Jocelyn was a great tour guide- knowledgeable, flexible and willing to engage in lots of conversaton and questions. Her knowledge of Mexican history was incredible and she explained things in an easy to understand manner. Her English was also great and we learned that she also speaks German and does tours of the Anthropology Museum. When we come back, we might hire her to tour the museum with us.

We had a great tour with Jocelyn. Everything was a breeze. Her knowledge of Teotihuacan and Mexican history was excellent and her ability to navigate us through crowded spaces so we always felt like we were getting a special cozy tour experience just for us. At one point we passed another tour group and their guide said to me, "you got the best guide around!" I think he was right.

Jocelyn took us on a great tour of Teotihuacan and Tlatelolco. She had a wealth of knowledge about the deep history of the pyramids and their excavation and reconstruction. She was great about engaging with our kids and including them in the tour. She was also easy to communicate with ahead of the tour so we could arrange transportation for our party of 5.

Jocelyn's English is excellent, she is pleasant, Teotihuacan awesome in the monarchical sense. The problem here is there is both too much that can be known, and too little. It's easy to be overwhelmed by the dead city's size, and the length of its habitation, so much that one forgets that real people lived and loved here. What were there lives like, and why? To this, Jocelyn has no answers. The museum of the Templo Mayor, by the Zocolo, offers a few, and under her recommendation we went there.
