“Best guide ”
Rafael is the best travel guide you will ever have! He is extremely well studied as a historian and brings tons of personal experience and knowledge from a life spent well traveled. He is easy going and flexible, so your trip can be tailored to your interests and adapted as you go along. You will see and do things that only a local could show you. I went on a vacation, but left with a friend!

“The highlight of our 10 day trip to Mexico City”
My husband and I arranged to have Rafael take us on a guided tour of Teotihuacan. He picked us up at our airbnb at 7 am so that we could be at the site when it opened. Rafael was incredibly knowledgeable and as we drove to the pyramids he gave us so much interesting background information not only about Teotihuacan but also about Mexican history and culture. We had visited the Museum of Anthropology the day before this tour which was helpful, however, the way in which Rafael guided us through the site, the incredible information he provided, and the insights he offered to the various and multiple aspects of Teotihuacan provided for a much deeper understanding of the historical and cultural context. I would highly recommend Rafael as a guide. His depth of knowledge and his excellent communication skills allowed us to have an immersive experience of seeing Teotihuacan that will go on our top life experiences. In addition to being knowledgeable, Rafael is just a great person. He is generous with his knowledge and time, and helped us with plans for a couple of days after the tour. He is enthusiastic, warm and funny. I would give him 5/5. Thank you Rafael for this experience.

“Wonderful experience with truly fantastic guide!”
We spent the day with Rafael for a visit to Teotihuacan -- 4 adults and 4 teenagers/pre-teens. We had an amazing experience and cannot say enough good things about Rafael. He was knowledgeable, communicative, responsive and just a delightful person to spent a day with. He engaged our kids with his interesting stores and he had so much enthusiasm for what he does, it was infectious. Do not hesitate to book him!

Dear Zoe, I am so flattered about your kind review. Thanks so much for that and for spending your time with me. I also had a wonderful day sharing and learning with you. You, your family and friends are such great people in all senses! See you sometime! :)
