Jens Tillmanns
Jens has worked and studied in Mexico, Germany, Italy, Ghana, and the United States. In 1997, he moved from Berlin to Mexico after graduating from Freie Universität Berlin in Latin American Studies and Political Science. For ten years, he worked full time as an officially licensed tour guide in Mexico and South America. After the birth of his daughter, he taught high school World History and Foreign Languages in Boston, Massachusetts. In 2018, he returned to his beloved Mexico City and to his guiding passion. Jens loves to show you the vitality of his adopted home city. His particular interest lies in the amazing cultural fusion and the historic roots of this vibrant metropolis. Since his first visit as a backpacker in 1987, Jens has been in love with Mexico, its culture, traditions, and history.
Fantastic. 5 stars. Could not have had a better tour guide. He was knowledgeable, funny, and polite. And perhaps most importantly, because of him I feel like I have a better grasp of the artistic, philosophical, cultural and governmental veins running through this city.
Overall, wonderful tour where we learned so much about the history of Mexico. Jens is great, with a clear and concise speaking ability. We enjoyed the way he tied the murals in the museum to Mexican history, very thoughtful. I would have liked to see a bit more of the castle, but you can only do so much in 2.5 hours.
Stimulating, fascinating and fun. 3 hours went by in a flash. Jens is a gem.
