Overview

My name is Diego. I hold a bachelor's degree in tourism and a master's degree in social studies from the University of Guadalajara. I created this experience to introduce travelers to Guadalajara, the city where I was born and raised. More than a regular tour, I'd like to provide you with a thoughtful progression through the city, with an emphasis on history, architecture and socio-political movements. In a fun and slow-paced 3-hour walk you'll see 10+ of Guadalajara's fundamental landmarks, including: the Cathedral, the city square and the main plazas and government buildings, templo Expiatorio, Mercado Libertad (the largest indoor market in Latin America), Colonia Americana, Hospicio Cabañas, Degollado Theater, and more! This is a fully-private experience, meaning your guide will give you exclusive attention and we'll go at your own pace, so a personalized high-quality experience is guaranteed.

Itinerary

  • Glorieta de Los Ninos Heroes

    Step back in time to Colonia Americana, Guadalajara's historic district built by 19th-century American, European and Mexican industrialists. Admire the beautifully preserved, eclectic architecture lining the leafy streets. This neighborhood has transformed into the city's hippest hangout, brimming with young energy. Here, you'll find a vibrant scene of art galleries, trendy restaurants, and stylish bars.

    45 minutes

  • Templo Expiatorio del Santisimo Sacramento

    This magnificent neo-Gothic Catholic church offers a glimpse into the city's rich history, including its religious conflicts shaped by the cultural and economic influence of the US in Mexico. I'll delve into these fascinating details during our tour.

    20 minutes

  • Guadalajara Cathedral

    Step into the grandeur of the 16th-century Renaissance Cathedral, a breathtaking testament to the region's rich history. Uncover its captivating secrets as we delve into its fascinating past. Then, wander through the surrounding plazas, where you will be impressed by the beauty of novo-hispanic, baroque, art nouveau, and neoclassical architecture.

    30 minutes

  • Teatro Degollado

    We'll explore the 19th-century neoclassical Degollado Theater, along with its surrounding plazas and churches. While I can't guarantee access to the theater's interior due to scheduling, the exterior and surrounding area offer a fascinating glimpse into the city's artistic history.

    10 minutes

  • Plaza Fundadores

    No tour of Guadalajara is complete without a visit to Founders Plaza. This landmark isn't just a pretty square; it's a window into the fascinating story of Spanish colonization in Western Mexico. We'll uncover the origins of Guadalajara's name and delve into how Mexican society views this complex legacy today.

    20 minutes

    Immerse yourself in history and art at Guadalajara 's stunning Hospicio Cabañas! (Closed on Mondays). Explore this UNESCO World Heritage Site and admire an astonishing set of 57 murals by Jose Clemente Orozco, one of the three greatest muralists of Mexico. Unravel the stories behind the architectural marvel and delve into the powerful murals. This UNESCO site has strict regulations regarding external guides, but feel free to explore the museum at your own pace. I will provide insights to enhance your understanding of the museum and Orozco's art.

Awesome walking tour of Guadalajara.

Published on Dec, 2024

We were very fortunate to have taken the walking tour of Guadalajara with Diego. He made us fall in love with the city and we learned so much. He answered all of our questions and we never felt rushed. I would highly recommend taking his tour if you have the opportunity. Diego is very knowledgeable and kind as well.

Take a walking tour of Guadalajara with Diego.

My husband and I took a private walking tour of Guadalajara with our guide Diego. We learned so much about the history of Guadalajara from Diego. He pointed out so many interesting aspects of the city. I recommend visiting Guadalajara and selecting Diego as your guide.

Great Walking Tour with Diego

Published on Dec, 2024

My wife and I had an amazing day walking around Guadalajara's beautiful historic center with Diego. Diego is very knowledgeable and passionate about his city and I recommend this tour wholeheartedly.

Great walking tour!

Published on Dec, 2024

Diego is a wonderful tour guide, with a masters degree in tourism and a local of Guadalajara he is able to eloquently and comfortably take any traveler through the streets of the city. I highly recommend this tour. Even if it costs more than the others on the app, you are getting an educated and fun and safe tour of the city. Diego walked me through markets that I would’ve never gone through alone, but felt completely safe once I was there with a local. I even visited those markets several times later by myself with complete ease and comfort, because Diego had introduced me to the culture and area so well.

Awesome walking tour!

Published on Nov, 2024

I picked this tour because of the reviews and it did not disappoint! Diego was amazing in his knowledge and passion for Guadalajara. My husband and I enjoyed the tour. Diego was a pleasure to be with and I recommend to take this tour. You will be happy you did!
