The Best Tour in Guanajuato! - This guided walking tour was incredible! Our guide, Alecxaí, was simply amazing. He was so knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Guanajuato, and he made the day so special for us. Not only did he take us to many of the major sites, but he also took us "off the beaten path" multiple times to see things and experience things we NEVER would have figured out on our own. We learned so much about the history and culture of Guanajuato, and we truly appreciated the perspective of such a knowledgable and kind local. This tour was wonderful!

An excellent overview - This tour was an excellent, thorough overview to Guanajuato. My guide, Alecxaí, was a cultural historian with a passion for Cervantes (and there is a connection to him in the town, with a festival and library). Besides history, we visited most of the major historical sites of the center of the city as well as the market, with a good deal of discussion about the 1810 revolution (in which Guanajuato played a major part).
Alecxaí's English was conversational, so I was able to gain full value from the tour even with my poor Spanish.

A very personal and special tour - Antonio, our guide, was born and raised in Guanajuato. We loved that, in addition to showing the major places to see, his tour also took us past the places he was born, went to school and played. Others may find this distracting but we cherished the very personal connection and the warmth of his personality. Highly recommended!

A perfect experience - My tour with Abraham Suàrez was perfect. He allowed me to practice my Spanish and always spoke at a rate to improve my understanding. He knew so much of the city and its history, and you could see the love he had for Guanajuato. He always checked if I was comfortable with the pace or needed a break. I would definitely do it again, but I dont need to. He really helped me with landmarks and learning what there was to do.
My tour with Abraham Suarez was perfect. It allowed me to practice my Spanish and I always spoke at a pace that allowed me to understand better. He knew the city and its history, and his love for Guanajuato was evident. He always made sure I felt comfortable with the rhythm or if I needed a break. I would certainly repeat it, but it is not necessary. It helped me a lot with the sights and learning what to do.

Abraham was a wonderful guide - It was a great way to start my trip since I have never been here. Landmarks buiIt my confidence. Abraham was my guide. He was very kind and spoke slowly, as he knew I wanted to practice my Spanish skills. He didn't get impatient with my efforts and I felt comfortable trying. I could tell the love he has for the history of Guanajuato and really fancies art and museums. He checked with me regularly to see if we were at a good pace and if I felt well. I learned, I laughed, I took notes. If I return, I hope to see him again.
