Outstanding history/architecture/art overview of downtown Guadalajara - Fernando did an excellent job. His understanding of history and his interpretation of the murals was outstanding. We thoroughly enjoyed the walking tour. It covered key locations, and was not strenuous. Highly recommend.

Brief history of Mexico seen from Guadalajara - Fernando is really great at explaining the aspect of the country's history that where Guadalajara played a central role. The tour cover many important landmarks. There was so much to learn about the old town square, the cathedral, the Cabañas museum. You won't be disappointed.

Super interesting Guadalajara tour with a wonderful guide - Fernando, our friendly and engaging guide was the BEST! We met right on time at the assigned location and for the next 3.5 hours, Fernando did an amazing job of explaining the sights, murals, statues, buildings and history of Guadalajara's historic center. The pace was just right, and he made sure everyone was comfortable along the way. You can tell that Fernando is passionate about the history of Guadalajara and murals of Jose Clemente Orozco. We were a group of English speakers, and Fernando's English was excellent so there was no language barrier at all. And to finish off what was already a great tour, our final destination was the Mercado Libertad where we had the most amazing, authentic (and affordable!) birria and tacos. Since we were at the Mercado, once the tour concluded it was easy to do some souvenir shopping before heading back to our hotel. We highly recommend this tour, and specifically Fernando as a tour guide!

Wonderful experience - I would recommend it to every person who plans to visit Guadalajara. Our tour guide, Fernando, could be the best guide I have ever seen. As a person who got his degree in sociology, he is very knowledgeable. And he explains all the knowledge behind the scenes in details with patience, which enables us to know more about Mexican history and culture. It is a great experience to talk with Fernando. I hope everything in your life will go well in the future Fernando!

Really Enjoyed Our Walking Tour. Well Worth It. - This was out second trip to Guadalajara. While we had already explored the city's historic center, we are so happy we decided to take the tour. We learned so much history which gave us a way better appreciation of the area. Fernando is an excellent guide. The tour was well thought out and was well worth the time and money. I suggest you schedule the tour for your first day in Guadalajara so you have the opportunity to revisit any of the areas you are interested in doing a deeper dive into.

History and Art Adventure with Fernandez - Viator came through again. Fernandez was probably the best tour operator I have EVER experienced over the years. His knowledge was deep and he imparted his knowledge of Guadalajaran and Mexican history past and current so well that I was completely engaged and I loved every second of our adventure . Likewise, I was extremely interested in the muralists like Orozco. Again he opened new worlds of the beauty and the details of the awesome murals. Our designated 3 hours turned into 5 hours! Fernandez made everything come to life! He’s the best.
