I think he is the absolute best tour guide I have ever had. He knew his stuff, had researched ahead of time, and we got along so well conversing. And he was patient in answering all of my questions and helping me to understand the history.

Mexico is a warm and welcoming country, full of culture, color, and traditions. I would be delighted to share with you its rich heritage—from pre‑Hispanic times with pyramids and ancient cities, to the colonial era with colossal churches and centuries‑old houses, to the vibrant and colorful markets that make you feel as though you’ve stepped back in time. Trained as an English teacher at the local university, in 2011 I decided to take a new path and studied to become a licensed tour guide at the same institution. My passions are history and archaeology, and I also enjoy outdoor activities such as cycling and hiking. I offer tours in Querétaro (including the Franciscan Missions), San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, Mexico City, the pyramids of Teotihuacán, the Monarch Butterfly sanctuaries, and many other destinations. My guiding license allows me to lead tours throughout Mexico, so if you’d like to visit a place not listed among my regular tours, feel free to send me a message—I’ll be happy to arrange a customized experience just for you. Come and experience vibrant Mexico!

Overview of your San Miguel De Allende tour
We drive almost 30 minutes to visit the archaeological site of Cañada de la Virgen, where impressive pyramids—built by native peoples around 1,500 years ago—still stand. Upon arrival, a shuttle bus will take us closer to the site, followed by a one‑kilometer (3,300‑foot) walk through the countryside to reach the pyramids. Nestled in the rural landscapes of San Miguel, this place radiates a very special energy. The first time I visited, I felt a profound connection with the site, and it remains one of my favorite destinations. As we explore the pyramids and their surroundings, we’ll learn how the builders designed them to manage their calendar, regulate the farming season, and oversee their crops. We’ll also see how sacred this place was—and perhaps still is—for the native cultures of this region of Mexico. Join me for this unforgettable experience, where history, nature, and culture come together in one of Mexico’s most remarkable settings.

Aaron gave a great tour! He is very knowledgeable and communicates well both in planning the tour and in giving the tour. We would hire Aaron again and recommend him. For non-Spanish speakers, his English was great and easy to understand.
Greg R.United States
We toured San Miguel de Allende & Canada de la Virgen archaeological and could not have enjoyed it more. He's easy to smile and laugh, and it was a pleasure to spend a day with him. Aaron's professionalism, courtesy and knowledge were in full display. He cares deeply about his country and its' history and is passionate about sharing that. Your appreciation for the region will deepen after a day with Aaron. We will eagerly tour with Aaron again when we return, and you should too!

Gary W.United States
Came to Mexico specifically interested in the historical and architectural significance of the tour sites. Aaron did a comprehensive job of framing things within that context. He did it a way that was meaningful and entertaining. His ability to communicate the events that shaped this region was beyond impressive. Highly recommend his services; you will not be disappointed.
Cynthia F.United States
We had the opportunity to have Aaron as our guide on both of our tours. The first tour was San Miguel de Allende & Canada de la Virgen archaeological site and the second tour was a wine and cheese tour and walking tour of Queretero. Aaron was amazing and so classy. I really enjoyed his vast knowledge of the history of each site and his deep love for his country. He was also very accommodating with our schedule and tailored it to fit our needs. It was 2 great days, Thanks Aaron hope to meet again!
