Really shows she's form there and knows the culture of the city well. Se showed me hidden alleys and great stories. I feel like I know the city well now and how to naviguate it.

Walking tour of historic Guanajuato - From the beginning Susana was a great communicator. We appreciate her flexibility! On the day of the tour, our needs changed due to my husband being sick. Our tour guide Bere changed gears to accommodate just me and eliminate the culinary experience from our tour. We walked and she shared details in the architecture, as well as lots of history. I loved it!
She also pointed out things to do later on our own, as well as places to eat that are good and clean. Highly recommend.

Don't miss out on a walking tour with Susana - Susana is such a wonderful guide! We booked our tour of TepeTapa and Terremoto area of Guanajuato and it was awesome that it was our small group, the two of us and our guide. My friend and I appreciated that she does speak english but also taught is words in Spanish along the walk. She brought us to sights that we would have not discovered otherwise, a paper maker, a potter, and a local bakery. We tried La leche de maiz from a street vender with the addition of the most wonderful brown sugar. We walked through a vendor's area with small stalls of vegetables that looked so colorful and fresh. I have been on tours with Susanna in the recent past and she is a very good teacher of the history of this beautiful city! We will definitely book more tours as friends and family visit us, I learn something new each time. Gracias Susana

Very attentive guide! - Susana is an excellent guide! She customized our tour to our interests and activity level. We stopped at private artists studios and bakeries giving a local perspective on quanajuato. Susana has a wonderful way of integrating historical information into our natural conversation.

One of the best walking tour experiences anywhere! - My spouse and I signed up for this walking tour expecting to be part of a group, but we had our wonderful tour guide, Bere, all to ourselves! And what an absolute treat. Bere, a Guanajuato native, was delightful, engaging and personable, with a wealth of knowledge and insights about Guanajuato and Mexico that she shares with genuine passion and humor. We ended the generous tour at the Hidalgo Market, where she shared her favorite food vendor recs, including the best fresh tamales we have ever had. Along the picturesque way, she made great suggestions for sites, nightlife, and restaurants to consider during the rest of our stay. Our tour truly set the stage for a wonderful several days in this magical city.
