Greatest tour of Guanajuato! - On a trip to Guanajuato with friends the 3 of us did the city walking tour with Mariana based on the advice of a friend who owns a house in town. She is the best tour guide I’ve ever had anywhere. She’s fun, engaging, incredibly knowledgeable about all of the current and ancient history of the region, mixes up the activities to keep things constantly interesting, has perfect food recommendations, and speaks great English. I would recommend hiring Mariana for a tour of Guanajuato to anyone and everyone, whether you are traveling solo, with friends or with family. A+

Mariana is the... - Mariana is the best—knowledgeable, kind, funny, and a great teacher. I came away with a wonderful history lesson, an appreciation for this beautiful city, and a new friend! The city sits at 6000’ and the tour takes you up and down stairs and slopes—do not let this deter you. Mariana is very considerate and takes into account any limitations that you might have. Book this tour!
