Great tour !!

Published on Nov, 2024

Fernando was our Gide tour , he was very knowledgeable about the city and had great food recommendations. Over all a great tour I feel like we see and learn a lot in a short period of time.

Must do

Published on Nov, 2024

Fernando was wonderful and so knowledgeable. Really fascinating tour that covers history, art, culture and more. We were the only people on the English speaking tpur so it was a private tour as well.

Educational

Published on Nov, 2024

Very informative. Knowledge guide. So nice to learn more about the city at the start of our time here.

Fernando was wonderful and the city and murals are filled with the beautiful history.

Published on Oct, 2024

Fernando is an excellent and professional tour guide. His communication with me through it all (there was some scheduling conflicts) was quick and clear. My adult son and I took this tour specifically for the murals and he was extremely well educated on the artist, the vision, the history behind it. He gave us time to soak it in first and then took time going through them. The visit to the library was perfect for us as my son is a huge reader. We learned some much about Mexicos beginnings -that I have to admit o did not know about preciously. Take this tour, it’s a good deal of walking but it’s worth it.

Excellent tour!

Published on Oct, 2024

Fernando was great! Very nice, very knowledgeable, and funny. If you are looking for a tour of Guadalajara as an American that knows nothing about Mexico, this is the tour for you.
