cultural visit of Queretaro - Jesus, our guide, was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We learned a lot on Mexican history (independence and revolution), local legends, architecture and arts… Jesus took us to churches and convents, with very thorough explanations. He also gave anecdotes on buildings, way of life etc. I highly recommend this tour.

A very informative city tour of Queretaro - Our guide, Carlos, was a delight to have as our guide. He was extremely knowledgeable, very patient, and took time to answer all the many question from us 3 couples from the USA. We would highly recommend this tour, especially is you are fortunate enough to have Carlos as your guide.

Incredible walking tour with Jesus! - I’d like to say a huge thank you to Jesus for the incredible walking tour he gave me! It started a little late as i booked same day and he wasn’t there to start with, but I waited it out with the help of the staff and I am glad I did. Jesus is a wealth of information and taught me so much about Mexico and the incredible history of beautiful Queretaro. He is incredibly generous with his time and I do not think you’ll find another who so generously shares his knowledge like he does. I wish I had more time with him and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this tour to others.
