About Tour Guide Rafael G.

I've been guiding family and friends in Mexico for over 30 years, arranging tours, van rentals, accomodation, excursions, archaeological visits, museums, etc., Now I completed my official general guide course in order to be certified by the government to guide national & international guests. I love my country, its culture, history, etc. and know a lot of interesting facts besides the normal guidance for tourists. I've travelled extensively across the country and love to share my knowledge because it's like rediscovering everythin again!

Tailored one day highlights in a leisurely/relaxed pace!

Rafael is friendly, approachable, and very knowledgeable about the city, its history, museums, points of interests, etc. He can give you as much, or as little information you want to take in about the city. He is very adaptable to how people want their experience to go with this tour, which is something we really liked. First off, we enjoyed the experience of public transit (bus, metro/train) during this tour. Although there was an itinerary, it was flexible and depended on what our interests were. We were even able to sit at a café to enjoy coffee, conversation, architecture, and singing, at a pace that were suited for us. We were still able to hit up all the spots that were mentioned in the itinerary but what we loved about this tour with Rafael was that we were able to do it leisurely, stress-free, and with someone who knew this city. Thank you, Rafael, for an amazing experience! We'll be sure to hit you up when we come back with our family and friends!
