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!

Alejandro was a great host - very keen on personalizing the tour, but also adding his own personal touch, showing a favourite that I really enjoyed

Alex was the perfect toy guide for our Mexico City adventure! His deep knowledge, warm personality, and hilarious sense of humor made the tour unforgettable. All six of us had an absolute blast—he kept us laughing, learning, and fully engaged from start to finish. Whether he was sharing quirky toy trivia or cracking jokes, Alex made the experience feel personal and fun. Highly recommending Alex to anyone visiting Mexico City and looking for a guide who’s smart, friendly, and genuinely entertaining!

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!
