Beautiful City - We found Guadalajara to be a beautiful city -- clean, friendly and tranquil even when there a FIFA match going on. Historic downtown district is very walkable with beautiful churches and museums. Zapopan and Tlaquepaque are full of beautiful silver, pottery, and unique art.

Good Way Tequila Few Hours - Alex was our tour guide. During and even before our tour Alex was very open and knowledgeable about the history of Guadlajara and the competing Mexican identities throughout the years. As we wandered around Guadlajara Alex told us about several of Guadaljara's historic figures, places, and events. Something Alex did a really good job of was making little recommendations as we explored the city, including good tequila stores, drinks, and restaurants. He also made seversl food recommendations, which our group were more than happy to utilize subsequently. We would recommend Alex as a tour guide. He was able and amiable.

Great Walking Tour of Guadalajara - We were in Guadalajara for a wedding and decided to take a walking tour of the city center. Our guide was Alex. He did a great job of showing us the highlights, the history, and the culture. The Cathedral is beautiful and the San Juan Mercado was huge and very interesting. We learned a lot and thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Our timing was good...the tabachín trees were in full red bloom with a few jacaranda trees still showing their purple flowers

During the visit I was able to observe historical sites, commercial areas and a wide gastronomic offer typical of Jalisco. The experience was pleasant due to the cultural atmosphere and the ease of finding tourist activities in different areas of the city.
