About Tour Guide Jacqueline F.
Hello my name is Jacqueline but some call me Jackie. I’m a native of the San Francisco Bay Area from a Mexican-Spanish household. I grew up bilingual and would visit family in Mexico City once or twice a year since childhood.
After high school I came to stay for a year and never left! My Mexican culture is very dear to me and I’ve always been in love with the cultural wealth that my Motherland offers me.
Though I’ve worked in several different areas of interest such as performing arts, yoga, ESL, interpretation and translation, I decided to certify as a tour guide with the Ministry of Tourism in Mexico and have been giving tours since 2014.
I specialize in Mexican Muralism and Religious Tourism.
