“A Wonderful Day at Teotihuacan with an Exceptional Guide”
We had a wonderful day exploring the ruins at Teotihuacan with Rafael. His depth of knowledge was impressive, and he really brought the history to life. We learned so much. After the ruins, he took us to a wonderful restaurant where we tried local dishes you can’t get elsewhere. He was an amazing guide, and we would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Mexico City!

Best regards to you and your family!

“Wonderful Experience!”
We had the best day with Rafael in Mexico City. He picked us up from an airport hotel and truly introduced us to Mexico City on our first day. He was so friendly and knowledgeable about everything - from history, to food, to architecture and more. He was also super patient and let us practice our Spanish. :) We visited the Xochimilco canals and an axolotl sanctuary which was one of the highlights of our trip. Rafael answered all of our questions with enthusiasm and made the trip engaging from start to finish. If you're looking for an authentic, educational, and memorable experience in Mexico City, I can't recommend Rafael highly enough. Thank you for an incredible day—we'll be talking about it for years to come!

“A 'tour de force' highly impactful and memorable stay much enhanced by Rafael's experience, personality and efforts.”
We were most fortunate to engage Rafael for three days while in Mexico City. He curated a most extra-ordinary experience that immersed us in the long and complex arc of Mexican history covering pre-Columbian empires, Spanish colonialism and the modern tumult since independence. He was highly knowledgeable about details but wrapped the information in digestible bites that were both impactful and memorable with just the right touch of humor. He was flexible and responsive, adjusting aspects as we went along based on interests and energy levels. He also provided us with some 'out of the usual lanes' experiences that included the culinary. We would highly recommend Rafael if you are considering a stay in Mexico.
