A great introduction to Guanajuato city

Published on Dec, 2024

An informative, enjoyable tour where we learned about the history and environment of the city. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. The pace was measured with occasional uphill walks broken by breaks and flat terrain.

Super walking tour in Guanajuato with Susana

Published on Dec, 2024

Susana was a superlative guide much appreciated by our group of 11. She was so kind and considerate and spoke perfect English. We learned so much history and delighted in all our stops of beautiful places. Our juice tasting and food tasting were fun and delicious. During our city walking tours in many other Mexican cities the consensus was that Susana was our best guide. WE would highly recommend her.

Mariana is the best! Fun and tour Educational Tour!!

Published on Dec, 2024

What a treat! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone. Mariana is not only super friendly and fun during the tour but very knowledgeable. She gives you both the history and the myths behind Mexico's history. 100% will be using her again when we are back in the area!

Exquisite Tour

Published on Dec, 2024

This tour was unique from all others I have experienced. Our tour guide and now friend, Marianna, gave us an exquisite tour full of history and tales of Guanajuato. We have learned the importance of Guanajuato’s events and the great influence it has in what Mexico is today. Looking forward to returning to Guanajuato again!
