Work environment

Outdoor and indoor cultural tours across Mexico City. From Teotihuacán in the morning to a Roma food market in the afternoon — the CDMX guide's working environment is the greatest city in the Americas.

About the role

The guide who makes Mexico City comprehensible. CDMX is 22 million people, 300 colonias, 130 museums, 3,000 years of history — it is simultaneously one of the world's greatest cities and one of its most overwhelming. The guide who gives a tourist a framework for understanding it — who connects the Aztec calendar stone in the Anthropology Museum to the same cosmology visible in street murals in Tepito — has given them a way to see Mexico City that they will carry for the rest of their lives.
