I’m just a "normal Mexican woman", but with a deep love for my country and a passion for sharing its beauty and history with others. From a young age, I’ve been captivated by Mexico’s rich traditions, vibrant culture, amazing landscapes, and, of course, its fascinating history and gastronomy. My passion for these topics led me to become a tour guide, where I get to connect people with the heart and soul of Mexico, making their experience something memorable and meaningful. As a certified tour guide, I specialize in offering customized, personal tours that meet the unique interests and needs of my clients. Whether you're exploring the ancient wonders of Mexico's archaeological sites, the serene beauty of rural communities, the bustling energy of museums, or the irresistible flavors of our local cuisine, I ensure every experience is tailored to make your time in Mexico unforgettable. No group is too small! Whether you’re a solo traveler or in a small group, I’m committed to providing you with a high standard of service, and a deeper understanding of the places you’ll visit. I primarily guide tours in Puebla State, Mexico City, and the surrounding areas, offering an immersive experience that goes beyond the surface. Through heritage interpretation, I help you connect with the rich cultural, historical, and natural landscapes that define these regions. From ancient indigenous traditions to the colonial influences that shaped modern Mexico, every site tells a deeper story—one that reveals not just the facts, but the emotions, struggles, and triumphs of the people who have shaped this land. I want you to experience Mexico in a way that’s vibrant, engaging, and full of meaningful stories, allowing you to see these places not just as tourist destinations, but as living pieces of history that will stay with you long after the trip is over.

Overview of your Puebla tour

Get to know Puebla by walking through the core of the city. Decreed a UNESCO Heritage site in 1987, the historic center of Puebla holds more than 2000 monuments, composed of major religious buildings such as the Cathedral, the churches of Santo Domingo, San Francisco, the Palafox Library, and many houses whose walls are covered with colored tiles or azulejos. Why was Puebla considered the second most important city in New Spain? and Who were those important characters that built such an amazing city with European influence? Heritage interpretation has become more than important when travelers want to have a better understanding and experience of the visited place. So If you like talking about history and interesting fun facts, this tour is for you! Join me and let's have fun in Puebla.

Alejandra was a FABULOUS guide!!! My husband and I travel often, and she was one of the best guides we have ever had a chance to tour with. We spent 1/2 day touring the historical part of Puebla. Alejandra grew up in Puebla, so she is very knowledgeable about the local history. She is very well educated. Her communication was easy, clear and enjoyable. We would 100% recommend her!

We had a great experience discovering Puebla's historic district through the eyes of Alejandra, from Tours by Locals. In addition to taking us to all major points of historic interest, she was very friendly and personable, and really helpful with practical recommendations. She even treated us to some of the traditional Puebla sweets (we went back later to fill our bags with sweet gifts). We tried to book her services for a tour to Cholula but she's one popular guide and her tour was full. We would gladly take any tour she gives as she's very knowledgeable and recommend her highly.

A time well spent. Alejandra is a very interesting guide. She speaks excellent English. At the end of our tour we felt we had a very knowledgeable foundation for exploring the City of Puebla on our own. Highly recommended.

Alejandra is a brilliant guide. She is so knowledgeable about Puebla's history and architecture. It made our tour not only educational but also fascinating. I will definitely ask her to guide us again.

We would give Alejandra 6 stars if possible. Her tour reflects her love of Puebla and Mexico. In addition to being knowledgeable and a good communicator, she is warm and personable. She kept us engaged and interested the whole tour, and gave us excellent recommendations for further exploration and dining. She even found us another guide for the following day, when she was unavailable. For us, the highlight of the tour was the The Biblioteca Palafoxiana, the first and oldest public library in the Americas.

Alejandra was a great guide. We enjoyed our walking tour with her and learned a lot about Puebla's history. She is very knowledgeable and was able to answer all our questions. We feel she went above and beyond for us. Five stars for sure. Louise and Adrien from Ajijic, Jalisco
