Hi there! Nice to meet you

Nalleli

I am an artist and writer, with an opinion column at the Mexican newspaper El Economista. I have worked for the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH).

I am passionate about art, history, ancient myths, and food. As an art therapy teacher, I love to awaken the senses — enjoying beauty, flavors, and meaningful conversations.

I can guide you through Mexico City, founded centuries ago, revealing its fascinating history: from ancient pyramids to colonial architecture and contemporary culture. I can also introduce you to the vibrant art scene and, of course, to the richness of Mexican food, drinks, and seasonal fruits.

If you wish, I can arrange exclusive venues with specialists in archaeology from INAH, or organize private artistic sessions accompanied by fine wine and tasting experiences.

We had the privilege of touring México Citi with Nalleli. We chose her because of her experience in anthropology. We basically made our own tour schedule because we had a 92 year old gentleman traveling with us. She coordinated renting cars for some of our outings. Nalleli was well versed in the history of Old Mexico City and made suggestions on where to eat and other things to see when were when she was not traveling with us Seeing Mexico City with Nalleli

We apologize this review is long overdue. We had a lovely time learning about the history of Mexico city with Nalleli. She was very knowledgeable and passionate about her city. She provided great context to all the art and architecture and we truly enjoyed her stories. We also had quite the experience because mid-way through the tour we were completely rained out. We were caught in a thunder storm and had to stop, but Nalleli was very gracious and offered to re-schedule for the next day. Wonderful!

We had a very nice day with Nalleli. Nalleli is very knowledgeable about the history of Mexico and showed us many interesting locations we wouldn't have discovered on our own. Beyond this, Nalleli is also just a very nice person and it felt more like spending a day together with a good friend. Thanks again for showing us around Mexico City.Such a nice experience with Nalleli

Nalleli is such a warm and generous guide - She adjusted our tour to reflect our interests in history, art, and culture and told us histories and interesting tidbits as she showed us around the Historical Center. She connects personally and it is clear that she cares to create a memorable experience for her clients. We had a wonderful day with her and highly recommend her Personalized guide for Mexico City
