“Most of you know my style in teaching art history and cooking – I give all of myself! Thus, as a tourist, I expect great quality abroad.

Join me on this exclusive tour of Mexico City (also known as Distrito Federal). As Mexico’s largest metropolis, it is the country’s economic and cultural hub. Mexico City has many well-known museums and is a leader in international gastronomy. We will visit my favorite spots.
