Guanajuato Si!!! - We are so happy to have booked this little journey through Guanajuato with Mariana! It was our first time in the area (we are from PV) - we were pretty sure about what Guanajuato had to offer and knew we would like it, however we are absolutely amazed at the beauty of this city! I just don’t know where to begin or end for that matter. This place is a little (maybe large) slice of heaven. The people, the architecture, the history (once again, thank you for your in-depth knowledge of Guanajuato Mariana), the food, music, squares/parks, bars - I could go on and on. Colours, sounds, smells - sensory delights! I highly recommend visiting and taking this tour - you won’t be disappointed and will love Mariana, she is amazing! While we have a home in Puerto Vallarta, Guanajuato may just be in our future!!!

Highly recommend - My husband and I had a short 24 hours to experience all that Guanajuanto had to offer (not nearly enough time to explore). We figured a great way to cover a lot of ground (literally) would be to book a walking tour. Frida exceeded our expectations with her in depth knowledge and friendliness. She provided so much history and information that we would’ve never known on the spot that gave us a deeper appreciation of the city. She was passionate, funny and made a lasting impression on us. Thank you Frida for an enjoyable experience!

Fun-filled Walking Tour of Guanajuato - Mariana’s walking tour of Guanajuato is a must. Her knowledge and passion for the city is clearly evident as the time flies by. We even had lunch with her after the tour in the market. We learned so much on her tour which made our remaining time in Guanajuato all the more enjoyable. Do yourself a favor and take this tour. You will not regret it!

Great tour. Awesome guide! - Mariana was amazing! She took time before the tour started to understand our interests and prior knowledge. We found out we had a lot in common, which made the conversations during the tour very enjoyable. She was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Best Tour Guide in Guanajuato #1 - Hands down!! ONE of the BEST tour guides I have ever had. She was very knowledgeable with the history of Guanajuato. She went into details others guides might miss. She made the tour very interesting with the little details about the city. She also showed me some of the best places to get amazing coffee and street food in the city. She’s patient and her knowledge of the subterranean part of Guanajuato amazed me…If your looking for a tour guide book with her you will not be disappointed! 10/10 …worth the money compared to other guides that overcharge.

Top Notch Walking Tour - We loved this tour! Mariana is an excellent, knowledgeable guide. One thing that I really liked was that the tour was more of a dialogue than a simple one-way lecture. Maybe this was enhanced by the very small numbers (there were only the two of us and herself), but we had several excellent conversations about the history of Mexico and the life of residents in Guanajuato. I would highly recommend this tour. Thank you , Mariana!

Incredible experience. - This was absolutely the best tour I have ever taken. Mariana was so knowledgeable and articulate. Plus she was lighthearted and easy to communicate with. Her breadth of knowledge of Mexican history was impressive and we visited unusual places in Guanajuato that we would never have discovered on our own. She is very passionate about the city and gave so much extra time to us. A true gem of a guide! She is beyond five stars.
