YOUR GUIDE

History becomes unforgettable when it has context

Since my first backpacking journey, Mexico City has never let Jens Tillmanns go. A SECTUR-certified guide (No. 11791), with graduate studies in Latin American History at FU Berlin and Education at UTEP, he has taken visitors behind the scenes of Mexico since 1998.

The goal is not just to show places, but to reveal how archaeology, colonial history, art, food and modern life still speak to one another.
