An unforgettable pilgrimage to Our Lady of Guadalupe with our superb guide, Laila! - We had the most rewarding experience at Our Lady of Guadalupe under the guidance of Laila. She was professional through and through, but also so friendly and generous with her time. Laila ensured we fully appreciated each and every site we visited. She brought us to purchase religious mementos and patiently waited while we had them blessed. We booked an extra hour for the early morning choral mass - so beautiful - and Laila adjusted our pickup time to accommodate. Her knowledge was most insightful and made this private tour so rewarding. Laila could see how much this pilgrimage meant to us, and that really touched her - which in turn, touched us. Yes, one can come and see everything we did on your own, having only a brief knowledge of this beautiful Marian shrine, however, Laila's insight brought the history to life, and left us with a more lasting impression. Thank you Laila!

Great Experiencd at the Basilica de Guadalupe - Laila was a great tour guide! She’s very knowledgeable and has a great way of engaging the group. Through this tour we were able to learn about the holy site and connect different aspects of the Mexican culture such as precolonial history of the Aztecs/Mexicas and the role of the Virgen de Guadalupe uniting a divided country.

Well structured tour, Highly Recommended - Get this tour if you want a relaxed and thorough tour of the Basilica of Guadalupe. Very happy with this tour. Our guide, Jorge, was/is a professional — on time, very accommodating, and he explained everything thoroughly. At first, I thought that this could be done DIY. You can, but you will miss out on important anecdotes — and places to go. For starters, as a first timer, I did not know that the complex has 7 churches in it! Value for money. Highly recommended.

Very informative and can answer any questions regarding the churches. I only wish we could enter some of the churches - some had mass being held.
