Hi there! Nice to meet you

Alaya

Hola!

Hi! Hello I am Alaya, half Argentine and half Mexican I grew up in Argentina and loved this country since I was a child because I traveled to Mexico since I was a child so I decided to move here 6 years ago.I traveled to many places in Mexico and I live and love the city. CDMX is more than La Condesa or the Frida Museum. Walking in CDMX is living hundreds of years of history, traditions, culture and modernity, flea markets, Mercados,taquerías, historic houses,etc.

I am a Spanish teacher for foreigners and I usually tour the city with my students to show them incredible and favorite places and this way they will get to know CDMX better than a local and they will be very surprised.Mexico city has many places to visit by walking by bicycle or by public transportation, it is not necessary to have a car, it is more impossible to get to know the city with a car, the streets of Mexico City

If you would like to do another walking tour, for example around Chapultepec I know some interesting hidden places, not to crowded like the hidden mural of Diego Rivera or the cablebus in Chapultepec. Ask me and we coul plan a personalized option.

In México city I recommend try to be open to smelling smells because every part of the city, streets or markets, has food, Mexico you breathe it in the street, the life of Mexicans happens in the street. Another essential thing is to be open to people, Mexicans are very curious and questioning and street vending has been like this since before colonization and Mexico City is one of the most populated in the world, there are always people everywhere.

Alaya was the perfect guide for our introduction to MXCD. She showed us hidden gems that we would never have found as well as the main places to see. She gave us loads of useful suggestions and was so helpful in terms of our next few days. We would highly recommend using Alaya.Friendly, relaxed and knowledgeable

We loved learning more about Coyoacan: the culture, the people, the traditions, the coffee and ice cream, and the history. Since we had already been to the Frida Museum, we wanted to dig deeper, and Alaya provided a hands-on walking tour. We learned so many "local" tidbits about the area that you don't often read in a guidebook. Put on your walking shoes because the best way to see the area is by walking through it. We were even "blessed" in one of the parks and saw so many families and couples eating, dancing, eating, listening to music, and enjoying life. Alaya brought it alive for us by telling us the back stories, and showing us where to get away from the hubbub of one of the largest cities in the world! She even helped us get an rideshare in a downpour. Book a tour soon and enjoy!Dig Deeper into Mexico City
