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.

“Great day with Oskar”
Spent a day visiting the pyramids and the city proper with Oskar. Loved a little side visit to the Basilica. Oskar had a driver arranged and that worked well. Well informed, kind and flexible. We really enjoyed a full day. Thank you Oskar!
