Hey there, I'm Alex, your go-to guy in Mexico City! Picture this: you're strolling through a neighborhood with humble little houses, then BAM—one block later, you're surrounded by high-end malls. That's the magic of this city, and I can't get enough of it! Whether it's hunting down the best coffee shops or diving into global cuisines, I'm all about the flavors and vibes of Mexico City. And when I'm not eating (which is rare), you'll find me exploring the city on my trusty bicycle. I know the nooks and crannies of Coyoacán like the back of my hand, especially those hidden gems that whisper tales of the past. So if you're into spicy food, spicy stories, and a little adventure off the beaten path, I'm your guy! Looking forward to a great adventure with you!

Muy recomendable si lo que quieres es flexibilidad para ver lo que hayan decidido priorizar de todo lo que hay en la Ciudad de México. Alex fue muy amable y flexible, complemento muy bien lo que vimos con algo de historia y agregando perspectivas locales.

This is a great way to see the Roma Norte and La Condessa neighborhoods and learn its history. Alex was great and he also provided a lot of good recommendations in the area.

We had an excellent afternoon with Alex. We corresponded via email prior to our trip and he customized our private tour to suit our interests. Alex was knowledgeable, warm, and friendly. He was patient in answering our questions and slowing down when we wanted to take pictures. It was interesting visiting the different markets and seeing a variety of sights and hearing the related history. We always felt safe and looked after as Alex expertly guided us through sometimes heavy foot traffic. Spending the afternoon with a local made our Mexico City trip special.
