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.

Hi Joyce! Thank you so much for your words. I appreciate that. I had a very good time with you exploring around the City and doing Street photography. The fact you said I am talented photographer makes me feel motivated about this passion. I hope you come back to the City so we can look for new shots the next time. Take care! All the best Oskar

“México City tour with friends”
We recently spent four days in México City. As first timers we wanted to see as much as possible and reached out to Oskar. We were not disappointed. We had a driver meet us at the airport and drop us at our hotel. Next day we had a walking tour in the historic Centro area. Over the following days we went to the Floating Gardens of Xochimilco, visited museums and had a day trip to the ruins of Teotihuacan. Oskar was prompt, responded to our messages and questions before our arrival, has a head full of information about his city and was able to recommend accommodations and restaurants. He curated our time to our requests. We would highly recommend and would reach out to Oskar when we return to Mexico City.

Hi Tom! Thank you so much for your kind words. I really appreciate that. I enjoyed these 4 days with you just as much as you did. I felt like I was just hanging out with some friends. You are very good people and left a very good impression of the canadians from New Brunswick. I hope you come back to Mexico City, I would be so happy to see you again! Thank you! All the best Oskar

“Oskar is the BEST!”
The next time my daughter and I come to Mexico City, we will simply take all of the tours that Oskar offers! He is organized, knowledgeable, completely fluent in English, and so personable. We had a wonderful, instructive day with Oskar and his driver, Edgar. Great team. Our visit to Teotihuacan and the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe was the highlight of our week in Mexico thanks to Oskar.
Oskar enrique M.
Hi Laurie! Thank you so much for the lovely review. I appreciate that. Me and Edgar are very grateful to your for your kindness, most people do not invite both of us for lunch, so thank you very much for doing that! I hope you are doing well and if you ever come back to Mexico City, let me know. Even if I am no longer doing guiding I would love to see you again! Thank you! All the best Oskar

On this tour we offer you the possibility to explore in the way you prefer, visiting the places that interest you the most and skipping the ones that do not.
