Cultural and history walk - My tour guide was Frida. I’ve taken many cultural/historical tours in the past, and have to say this tour was amongst the best. She had an impressive knowledge of the city and an ability to communicate the city’s rich cultural history through fascinating stories and anecdotes. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

A Tour to Remember! - Mariana’s tour was fantastico! Not only was it incredibly informative and interesting, but Mariana made it fun, funny, warm and personal. It was not only the perfect way to begin our visit as she showed us all the beauty and history of the city, it was the highlight of the trip as well, as she mesmerized us with all Guanajuato has to offer and made fantastic recommendations that enriched and elevated our experiences for the rest of our visit. She honestly gave the best tour I’ve ever been on. Don’t miss it!
