Overview

Pickup from Guanajuato City Only: Guanajuato is a colonial gem sitting in a valley northwest of Mexico City. The city has been named as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The architecture of this gorgeous city was built using the great wealth generated from the silver mines during the 17th and 18th centuries; during this period, Guanajuato was the source for 1/3 of the world’s silver. You will also discover the labyrinth of tunnels beneath the city as well as the Haciendas and Mines outside of the City Center. . Today, you can see Guanajuato in its preserved beauty. Coming here is like stepping back in time; the city is remarkable and offers visitors an authentic colonial experience amidst one of the most picturesque colonial backdrops to be found anywhere in Mexico.

Great tour with lots of local knowledge.

Published on Apr, 2024

We both enjoyed the tour very much and the depth of knowledge our guide had to share. We learned a lot about Guanajuato and the history of the area. I would certainly recommend this tour to anyone who was considering it.

So much to see, so much to learn!

Guanajuato is a fantastic place to visit, so rich in history and so full of nightlife. It's really a must-do in Mexico. We had a guided tour arranged by Estigo. We were met by our guide, Alejandro, and driver Javier in the morning, right at our hotel. I don't recall if this was supposed to be a "private" tour, but it was just us. The van was clean, very comfortable and the driver was appropriately cautious. We drove through many of the tunnels that flow beneath the city. The history and development of them is a whole tour on its own. Alejandro is a gem of a guide! Formerly an architect, he was steeped in the history of everything we saw and had lots of interesting stories about the architecture and development of everything we looked at. My partner was a little worried about descending into the "mine shaft." But it's not an active mine and is clearly safe, well lit and really interesting! It's fascinating to see these operations that were literally started 500 years ago! As for Estigo, you will find so many operators in Mexico, but Estigo is great! Communications are steady and clear, any issues were quickly resolved. Prices are competitive and the service is great. Don't think twice!

This tour is what I wish all tours were like..

This tour is what I wish all tours were like.. First.. you have to have a private tour.. nothing better than an exclusive view of the sights and history.. Next, you have to have someone who has studied the history of your attraction as your guide.. Bonus points if your guide has a great personality, very friendly and helpful. Alex was all of this and more... As a man who studied Architecture and History academically, he brings an experienced and very detailed view of your tour.. Enjoy.. tours like this are very rare.. This one checks all of the boxes...

With every penny, thanks

We struggled to find guided tours in English, and found this one in TripAdvisor, at first sight it may look a bit expensive but you get 5 star service all the time, Roberto our tour guides have a really good English and lots lots of history knowledge, this was the best option worth the price

Guanajuato is where Mexico's silver began

Published on Feb, 2023

Martin our tour guide was our favorite part of the tour, he could tell a great history story with dates, ghosts & drama. This tour is the only way to appreciate the uniqueness of Guanajuato,
