Nice, Compact Walking Tour yet very Informative! - Fernando was an excellent tour guide. He was punctual and was in contact communication leading up to our meeting time. Tour did not feel rushed at all. Fernando spent ample time in each location going in depth with information. Came out of the tour definitely knowing more about Guadalajara's history than going in!

Great tour with Fernando - My husband and I booked a walking tour of Guadalajara. Our guide was Fernando, who was excellent. Even with the construction zones, he was able to highlight what is taking place in the area for FIFA World Cup next year. He’s very knowledgeable of all the historic sites including in depth knowledge of the Orozco murals. He is professional, courteous, knowledgeable, friendly and great sense of humor. I highly recommend a tour with Fernando.

Excellent! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic Tour with Fernando – Insightful, Bilingual, and Kind! We had an incredible experience on our history and mural tour of Centro Guadalajara, thanks to Fernando. He was not only deeply knowledgeable about the city’s history, art, and architecture but also impressively bilingual, switching seamlessly between Spanish and English to make sure everyone felt included and informed. Fernando’s passion for the culture and history of Guadalajara really came through in every stop on the tour. He took time to answer questions, explain the stories behind the murals and buildings, and made everything engaging and accessible. His kindness, patience, and sense of humor added so much to the experience. If you’re considering a cultural tour in Guadalajara, Fernando is a top-tier guide—we left feeling more connected to the city and its rich history. Highly recommended!

Recommended this tour! - We loved Sergio’s guided tour as he was very professional and knowledgeable about the culture of Guadalajara, MX. The Cabañas Museum seemed wonderful and we ended up at Mercado Libertad, where Sergio took us to eat some delicious cakes. Guadalajara is very cute and has a story to offer the world. Also, it was a private tour where my husband and I enjoyed it a lot. Thanks Sergio!

He is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and kind, making the entire day both enjoyable and enriching. There is so much to see and learn on this tour—from fascinating architecture to vibrant murals—and Fernando brought each stop to life with his insights.
