Hi, I’m Ernesto, a proud local host in Mexico City. I’m deeply passionate about local and national history, especially political history, as well as music, architecture, pop culture, and Mexican food. What I love most about this city is its incredible mix of ancient roots and modern life, the beauty of its architecture, and the warmth of its people. I spend much of my time walking through Centro Histórico, searching for hidden corners and stories, and tasting new dishes across different neighborhoods. I know areas like Centro Histórico, Roma, Condesa, Coyoacán, San Ángel, Chimalistac, Juárez, San Rafael, Santa María la Ribera, Azcapotzalco, Tlatelolco, and La Villa very well, and I enjoy sharing their history and character with visitors.

Honestly my parents and I agreed that Ernesto was the best tour guide we've ever had. He is friendly, very engaging, and knows details about all facets of Mexican history and heritage. We were extremely impressed at his knowledge and thankful for his engagement and warmth. We really enjoyed our time.

Ernesto was great and made the experience so great. He was born here in CDMX, so he was very knowledgeable about the city, politics, history and economics happening. He made the tour fun and was no pressure to get to the next destination - was completely at our own pace and what we wanted to see. Would highly recommend requesting him!
