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!

Alex was a complete star! He went above and beyond in not only showing us Centro in Mexico City but recommending some food options for my Mom and I. He shared with us many stories and details we wouldn't have been able to capture had we gone alone. He also shared personal stories and was just an amazing guide. From going to pick us up right at the hotel to dropping us off in a restaurant he recommended for my birthday! You can't go wrong with Alex, he is 5-star guide!

Realmente fue una experiencia hecha a la medida y por ello fue muy satisfactorio. Alex, nuestro guía, fue ameno, nutrido en detalles interesantes sobre los murales y sitios del centro histórico de México. Una muy buena experiencia y altamente recomendable. Importante: llevar sombrero y buenos zapatos para caminar. It was truly a tailor-made experience, and for that reason, it was very satisfying. Alex, our guide, was engaging and filled with interesting details about the murals and sites in Mexico's historic center. A very good experience and highly recommended. Important: wear a hat and good walking shoes.

Alex was a great guide with a lot of knowledge about Mexico City, history, art, architecture and more. He really let us tailor the tour and experience including the pace and things we knew we wanted to see and experience. He also showed us plenty of things that weren’t already on our list. He gave us recommendations for great food and coffee as well. Really had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend this tour to others who want to get familiar with the city.

Really personalized tour. We got to see a lot of the city and experience things we didn’t even know we wanted to do.
