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!
I can work with a single guest, a couple or as much as 10 guests per tour, in order to give a better personal experience. I can guide all across the country!
All tours can be customized for you. Send me a message with your requests!

“Go with Raphael”
Rafael is a personable, knowledgable and perceptive guide. He has a broad knowledge of Mexican and global cultures. He is creative and receptive to his clients interests, priorities and stamina. We laughed a lot and traded many stories. He is an excellent communicator and our visits to Centro Historico and Teotihaucan were enriched by his guidance. He is generous with his time. We highly recommend his guidance.

Thanks so much for everything Carolyne. Meeting you was such a special time in my profession... I wish you both the best of times for the rest of your trip in Mexico.

“Great Experience with a great Tour Guide!”
Rafael was super flexible, had vast knowledge of the city and always ready to help whichever way he could. We were a party of 6 senior citizens - he kept up with our speed and likings. I had an emergency knee surgery 2 weeks prior to the scheduled trip, but decided to go with the mindset that I would visit whatever I can with my limitations. Rafael arranged for a wheelchair and a very sweet and caring young person (Luis) through his contacts (unbelievable!) and because of this arrangement I did not miss a thing! We are truly grateful! He covered all the places on our wishlist plus suggested places for our free time. With his suggestions we visited local markets, Art Fairs and various charming neighborhoods. He also recommended some great restaurants and joined us for some meals. We highly recommend him.

“Great Experience”
If you are interested in archeology, anthropology, ancient culture and Mexican history and culture, Rafel was a great guide! He knows the information and can answer questions and make explanations of things not on the list. Rafel’s English is excellent. His vehicle is very nice. He’s a good driver. And he knows all the sites-and when there is extra time, he adds more visits. He also knows many local places for food. He was very patient and helpful with 2 tourists in their 70s. We loved our trip!
