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.

“Wonderful Tour With Oskar!”
It was our first time in Mexico City and we were concerned about the traffic, language barrier, and safety. Oskar was an amazing guide who accommodated all of the activities and sites we wanted to visit. He showed us around the city and also took us to eat the best local tacos and churros on earth! He spoke perfect Engligh, was kind, considerate, and always on time to pick us up at our hotel. We had the most amazing visit and learned so much from Oskar's rich knowledge of Mexico City's rich history. Oskar's driver was also incredible at navigating the frenzied traffic in and around the city smoothly and allowing us to arrive safely at all of our destinations. We highly recommend Oskar and hope to return again someday to tour with him.

“Oskar is amazing!”
Oskar is a wonderful guide and an even better person. We couldn't have asked for a more knowledgeable, kind and amazing person. This was my third visit to Mexico City, and Oskar made me feel just as amazed by his home country as I did the first time. His knowledge is not limited to art and history, he is also a brilliant mind who knows how to communicate his knowledge and convey his passion for what he does.

“Wonderful guide to a wonderful city”
We took two tours with Oskar during our trip to Mexico and are so glad we did. His enthusiasm and passion for the city are contagious. He was able to share his deep knowledge of history with us in a way that was totally accessible for beginners. His English is flawless and he was great with our kids. Getting to meet Oskar was probably the best thing about our vacation. Highly recommend.
