Discovery of Colourful Guanajuato - My husband and I really enjoyed our private walking tour of Guanajuato with our guide Susana. Susana was very knowledgeable and personable with an obvious pride in her hometown of Guanajuato. She clearly explained to us the history and sites of this beautiful, lively and colourful city. We would definitely hire Susana again if we return to Guanajuato. We highly recommend her and this tour.

Like walking around town with a friend who knows and esteems you - The tour in Guanajuato with Susana has been exceptional. Not only does he have an almost encyclopedic knowledge about the city, but, more importantly, he conveys his passion for the city.
It's not only about the places we walk, and his recommendations of restaurants, bookstores, ... but also that he made me live a tradition (that of the Holy Cross) that would have gone unnoticed, if it had not been for her
I think I adapt the gut, as I got to know more about myself and my interests.
A great guide. Not only recommended, but also essential.

One of the best tours I’ve ever been on - This tour absolutely lives up to its 5-star rating. Susanna was warm, funny, and very knowledgeable about every topic we had questions on. She knew a number of people we crossed paths with—family members and friends of hers—and pointed out spots in the town of significance to her own family history, which was a special touch. She had clearly done original research on the town and showed us historical photos and prints of important people and events. Highly recommended!

Awesome Tour Guide - Andres did a terrific job of showing me around the city. He highlighted all the main attractions that I have revisited several times in my one month stay here in Guanajuato City. He was born here and he's worked around the world and speaks very clear English. He tailored the tour to my interests. Highly recommend this tour at the beginning of your stay.

Wonderful tour guide - Susana is a delightful tour guide. She tailored our tour to our interests (history, culture, and local life) and showed us areas that we had not yet seen. She made the city come alive for us.

Learn about the unique history and character of Guanajuato - Susana gave me a great introduction to the landmarks and history of Guanajuato. As it turned out, I was the only person signed up the morning of our tour. Susana personalized it to my pace, interests, questions, and even my level of Spanish, speaking slowly for me to understand and then switching to English when I asked.
I learned (among other things) about the unique mining history of the region, the legend of El Pípila, how GTO figured in the Mexican struggle independence, and the different phases of tunnel-building so important for flood prevention and managing the city’s automobile traffic.
Susana is a wonderful storyteller and educator. I highly recommend this tour!

Highly Recommend - Antonio it's a native Guanajuato City citizen with an engineering degree who traveled the world with his work, so he wove history of the city with an explanation of interesting architectural features, good places to eat, great views to take in, spots for me to revisit on my own with time, and corners to turn opening up tantalizing locations. It was a great walking tour and I found lots of small businesses to return to purchase things I need for my month long stay. I would recommend this tour on Day 1 or Day 2 of your stay in Guanajuato.
