Welcome to a unique travel experience! I am Fernando Y, private tour guide.
I’m excited to share how my passion for travel and local knowledge can make your experience unforgettable.
8 years ago, my love for México and my fascination with urban photography led me to become a tour guide. Each tour is an opportunity to explore and capture the unique essence of our cities and landscapes. As an experienced tour guide, my approach goes beyond the conventional.
I pride myself on my ability to immerse visitors in the cultural richness of the places we visit, offering a unique and enriching experience. My method involves not only providing historical facts but also engaging in a deeper analysis of the design of ancient cities, particularly those steeped in antiquity like those of the Mayan civilization.
To make a more complete and entertaining tour, I use digital visual media and maps. I consider myself a good photographer, you can always support on me to get the best photos, from the best angles.
My success, you do not adapt to me, once I meet you at the beginning of the tour, I adapt to you.
