Fantastic tour of GDL - Fernando was a fantastic tour guide. He is very knowledgeable about the city's history and monuments. I ended up being the only person on the tour and enjoyed my time a lot. I would absolutely recommend this tour and book a different one with Fernando the next time in the area.

Guadalajara's Treasures - It was a very interesting and educational walking tour highlighting the Centro Historico's iconic buildings, churches, monuments and market. Fernando enthusiastically imparted knowledge of the city's history, its founders and artists. He expertly explained the Orozco murals, a must see. I highly recommend Fernando as your guide. You will learn so much!

Must do tour in Guadalajara - Excellent walking tour of Guadalajara Centro. Fernando was knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about history and culture. His sociology and political science background really shows in the depth of his explanations about the city, art, and local culture. He takes his time, keeps everyone engaged, and makes the tour very insightful. The traditional market lunch was also fantastic. Highly recommend this tour.
