About Tour Guide Roberto G.
Hi I'm Roberto professor of history and art, I will be very happy to host you and your group during your visit to Mexico. With more than 25 years of experience in both national and international Travel Industry and with a multicultural past, I continue to enjoy sharing México´s incredible past, from its multiethnic pre hispanic cultures , to its lively cosmopolitan present that greets us with a vast cultural offer (museums, galleries, theaters and concert halls ) a rich gastronomy (with a variety of ethnoastronomical market corners to the most exclusive offer of Michelin star restaurants).
Mexico is a cultural mosaic sharing its ancient past along with its Iberian roots that are an amalgam of Greco-Latin , Goth, Moorish, and Jewish influences, that sprout in the white smile and cheerful expressions of its inhabitants who are proud of their mix race heritage and they expressed it in everyday life though music dance , festivals, cooking , and art all shared with passion.
Allow me to help you discover the many faces of Mexico by sharing its past and its present with a smile on our faces. Welcome to Mexico!!

DOWNTOWN MEXICO
Sitting on the bed of what was the Island of Tenochtitlan in one of the five lagoons that made up the basin of Mexico, the Historic Center of Mexico City, is an open window between past and present, Each street, each building and stone speak words of a poem taking us to the very roots of our culture as it continue to embrace us as it did in the past, permanently weaving ties to new comers as part of the distinctive character of our rich legacy.
MEETING FRIDA AND DIEGO
Love and hate are combined in a romance full of distances and reconciliations, an unstable love but one that would unite them for eternity. Passionate and tender, a relationship born on August 21, 1929, and marked by a carefree love overflowing with passion. that transcends time and space. Join me to uncover this intimacy, as we travel between streets, bricks and walls, brushes, and colored canvases so full and yet sometimes so empty.
TEMPLO MAYOR MUSEUM AND ARCHEOLOGICAL SITE
After a pilgrimage of approximately 252 years from the mythical Aztlan / Chicomostoc, nomadic tribes settled on the western shore of Lake Texcoco, eventually founding the capital city Tenochtilan of what was to become the largest empire in Mesoamerica. The group called themselves Mexicas and the remains of their magnificent capital are part of today’s urban landscape as a result of a careful work of urban archeologist
MEXICO´S MURALISTIC MOVMENT OF THE XX CENTURY
Upon his return from Europe in 1922 Diego Rivera was commissioned by the then Minister of Education Jose Vasconcelos, to paint the walls of the Bolivar Amphitheater of the Old College of San Idelfonso, giving birth to one of the most influential art movements in the world. Rivera and his contemporaries David Alfaro Siqueiros, and Jose Clemente Orozco, worked with fresco techniques depicting the greatness of becoming a nation.

“Highly recommended!”
In preparation for our visit to Mexico City last week, my husband found this tour concentrating on Frido Kahlo and Diego Rivera. Our guide, Roberto was charming and INCREDIBLY well versed about Frido Kahlo, Diego Rivera as well as the wonderful Mexican art scene and how it was effected by Mexico's fascinating history. The indigenous sculptures which Frida and Diego collected were fascinating and Roberto educated us about their meaning, etc. We highly recommend Roberto as a guide and believe there are very few topics that he couldn't discuss superbly! Thank you Roberto for making our brief visit to Mexico City fun, interesting and educational!

“Delightful Roberto G”
Roberto is an encyclopedia of information and offers a very interesting perspective on the history of Mexico. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute with him and would highly recommend him to anyone interested in an amazing experience. He offers something way above what a regular tour guide offers.
