Hi how are things! I am Rubén and I dedicate myself to theater and graphic arts. I like to travel, meet and share with different cultures and personalities as well as learn new things. I have had the fortune to travel throughout Mexico, Central America and Europe. I live in the historic center of CDMX for 20 years. I like human contact, which led me to receive exchange guests in 2006 (Hospitality Club). Later I continued in another accommodation experience for foreigners for 6 years and with these experiences I have learned a lot from the people I have met on this path. I really like my city and I love the neighborhoods where I grew up. I am interested in the popular culture that develops in the markets, it is very attractive and reveals our ways of life in the city. I am a fun and kind person, I like camaraderie and a good sense of humor. I can speak English and German fluently. Without a doubt, with my experience and knowledge of the markets we will be able to enjoy a good walk, I invite you to take a fun tour with anecdotes, information and entertainment.
Today as 2 women from the U.S. (Boston & Dallas) we enjoyed exploring 2 markets with Ruben, with only the 2 of us. He was very informative and personable and was able to answer all of our questions. We walked for 15 min. to the 1st and much larger market (La Merced) through streets that were very crowded & noisy, in part b/c it was a holiday/Mexican Int’l Day. He was a good navigator & good that there were only 2 of us participants! We then took a metro (very interesting!) to the 2nd & much smaller market (San Juan) that was much less crowded and the presentation of the produce seemed much cleaner & protected. This turned out to be a far more informative way to learn about the history, culture & significance of MXC’s markets than doing it on our own. Definitely recommend it!
El guía, Ruben, no se presento y tampoco tuvo la delicadeza de avisar que no iba a ir, le mandé varios mensajes preguntándole si se iba hacer el tour y nunca contesto 😡😡😡
Ruben spricht gutes Deutsch, hat uns auf der Tour super viel erklärt und war total zwanglos und herzlich. Es hat uns sehr gut gefallen!
We learned a lot.
Such a nice walk and talk learned a lot
