About Tour Guide Rafael G.
I've been guiding family and friends in Mexico for over 30 years, arranging tours, van rentals, accomodation, excursions, archaeological visits, museums, etc., Now I completed my official general guide course in order to be certified by the government to guide national & international guests. I love my country, its culture, history, etc. and know a lot of interesting facts besides the normal guidance for tourists. I've travelled extensively across the country and love to share my knowledge because it's like rediscovering everythin again!

“Great Experience with a great Tour Guide!”
Rafael was super flexible, had vast knowledge of the city and always ready to help whichever way he could. We were a party of 6 senior citizens - he kept up with our speed and likings. I had an emergency knee surgery 2 weeks prior to the scheduled trip, but decided to go with the mindset that I would visit whatever I can with my limitations. Rafael arranged for a wheelchair and a very sweet and caring young person (Luis) through his contacts (unbelievable!) and because of this arrangement I did not miss a thing! We are truly grateful! He covered all the places on our wishlist plus suggested places for our free time. With his suggestions we visited local markets, Art Fairs and various charming neighborhoods. He also recommended some great restaurants and joined us for some meals. We highly recommend him.

“Great Experience”
If you are interested in archeology, anthropology, ancient culture and Mexican history and culture, Rafel was a great guide! He knows the information and can answer questions and make explanations of things not on the list. Rafel’s English is excellent. His vehicle is very nice. He’s a good driver. And he knows all the sites-and when there is extra time, he adds more visits. He also knows many local places for food. He was very patient and helpful with 2 tourists in their 70s. We loved our trip!

“Tailored one day highlights in a leisurely/relaxed pace! ”
Rafael is friendly, approachable, and very knowledgeable about the city, its history, museums, points of interests, etc. He can give you as much, or as little information you want to take in about the city. He is very adaptable to how people want their experience to go with this tour, which is something we really liked. First off, we enjoyed the experience of public transit (bus, metro/train) during this tour. Although there was an itinerary, it was flexible and depended on what our interests were. We were even able to sit at a café to enjoy coffee, conversation, architecture, and singing, at a pace that were suited for us. We were still able to hit up all the spots that were mentioned in the itinerary but what we loved about this tour with Rafael was that we were able to do it leisurely, stress-free, and with someone who knew this city. Thank you, Rafael, for an amazing experience! We'll be sure to hit you up when we come back with our family and friends!
