About Tour Guide Oskar enrique M.
I am a young historian who has been working as a tour guide for 4 years. During this time I have met people from all over the world, which has taught me a lot about interacting with all kinds of people as well as showing my city in an authentic and interesting way. I like to take people to places that show another side of Mexico City, a closer perspective of how its inhabitants live day to day. I also enjoy taking photographs on my tours.

“An excellent tour with an excellent guide”
Whenever you are about to visit CDMX and are considering getting a local guide, Oskar should be your go-to person. Our tour exceeded my expectations - not only did we (I) not have to look at the watch, Oskar provided the most comfortable environment for such an event by sharing his knowledge, giving hints & tips when it comes to local food, and - where needed - helping out as a translator. Worth every penny.

I will always be here open to help. Thank you! Oskar

“Two amazing Mexico City tours with Oskar (The Guía Excelente, Guía Mejor)”
This was our first time visiting Mexico City. We signed up with Oskar for two Day Tours, the Teotihuacan Pyramids and Basilica of Guadalupe Tour Day 1, and a custom Tepoztlan - Tepozteco Mountian Ruins Tour Day 3 of our stay. We were impressed with Oskar's engaging conversations, his passion for history - both Mexican and World, and his humor- even before we reached our first sightseeing site. Touring the historical and cultural sites with Oskar was spectacular. He has a very unique way of showcasing the historical, architectural and archeological aspects and facts - inter woven with art, culture, stories and folklore's, and different perspectives. He is great at keeping everyone interested and engaged. We so enjoyed the Pyramids and the Basilica of Guadalupe tour, that we signed up for a 5 hour Mexico City tour Day 2. It was wonderful touring the Cathedral, Murals, Templo Mayor Ruins, Architecturally rich buildings, and lots of other subtle and hidden wonders in the city with Oskar. The Tepoztlan - Tepozteco Mountain and Ruins Tour with Oskar was wonderful. The drive to Tepoztlan is very picturesque, its a charming town nestled in the valleys. The climb up Tepozteco Mountain is strenuous yet fun, and very rewarding with a visit to the ruins and amazing views of Tepoztlan. Oskar is an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and passionate of Mexican History, Culture, and Heritage. He is very fluent in English, which is a big help. Oskar is charming, courteous, friendly, funny, kind, helpful and generous with his time (our tours ran overtime). We are vegetarian / vegan, Oskar went out of his way to get us good vegan food options. Oskar's driver Edgar is a very safe driver, courteous and friendly. They make a great team. In our daughter's words: 'Oskar is very knowledgeable about history, he knows all the back stories, he is fun to talk to and great with kids. He takes great photos! ' Highly recommend Oskar for your Mexico City trips!
