Photographs, movies, music, art, museums, travel, and walking are some of the things I enjoy a lot! Since I was a kid I liked history, watching documentaries and reading books. That passion grew in high school until finally, I decided to study History at the university. Also, something that I have always liked has been walking everywhere, allowing me to get to know better the places I go to. So my background in history, and hours walking around the city, make me a great option to get to know all the magical corners of Mexico City. As a historian, one specialization I took in my career was disclosure of history, bringing close historical knowledge to the non-specialist public by creating materials, tools, projects, exhibitions and, of course, guided tours. So I started to work as a guide just right after finishing university. First with school groups at museums, after with families, friends, and travelers on the streets, and finally I obtained the certificate from the Ministry of Tourism in Mexico Now I work all over the city, its museums, and the surroundings of Mexico City. What I love about my city is that you always have something to do, something to discover in its historical buildings, in the flavors of its markets, and in the people on its streets. Mexico City is the capital of this beautiful country, which is why it has witnessed the entire historical process that has gone through over the centuries. Together you will learn about its history, its artistic jewels in architecture and art, the social dynamics of its people, the flavors of the unique local Mexican gastronomy, and much more. Let me make your experience in Mexico unforgettable. I have a bachelor's degree in history by the National Autonomous University of Mexico and have been certified as a tourist guide by the Ministry of Tourism in México. I have taken refresher courses on archeology at the National Museum of Anthropology, in the same way I worked in this museum for 2 years. I have participated in historical dissemination projects, among them with the National Coordination of Historical Monuments. None as a guide I drive but I'm not a professional driver, so I usually hire a private driver to accompany us I only drive within the city, not on highways. For that I always hire a private driver

Overview of your Mexico City tour

In this tour we'll visit two of the most iconic zones in Mexico City: the neighborhood of Coyoacan and the floating gardens in Xochimilco. Let's come to see Coyoacan, the bohemian neighborhood of Mexico City, where many renowned artists developed their lives and artistic work. Admire the gorgeous neo colonial architecture in the houses and buildings. Today it's a beautiful place where people share together between games, food and shows with a local town spirit. Next we'll browse on the canals of Xochimilco, a lake at south of Mexico City that preserves one of the most important elements of the pre hispanic civilizations: the "Chinampas". We are going on a traditional boat called "Trajinera". Appreciate the colored boats and natural view of Xochimilco. Let's enjoy the folklore of mariachi music, typical mexican dishes and drinks, where you can have a nice time with family and friends. Don't wait more, let's spend a day surrounded by traditions, music, food, colors and fun!
