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 fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and allot of fun. Alex was always game for a quick stop if we saw something that we wanted to see or check out. I would highly recommend this tour especially if you get Alex!
