Great City, Remarkable Guide - Guadalajara is an amazing city and requires a really good guide to explain its remarkable history in the context of the sights you are seeing. We were fortunate to get Berenice Miramontes, who provided the best walking tour we have ever been on - and, we have been on many, all over the world. She is knowledgable, smart, fun, sensitive to her customers' interests and adds layers of information to each sight without being long-winded or over-explaining. Don't miss seeing this wonderful city and I hope you are fortunate enough to have Berenice as your guide.
