Highlights
  • University of Guanajuato - If the experience is during the week, we will enter to browse the interiors of the central building, if it is the weekend we will only talk about the origins of the University and admire its steps and surrounding areas.
  • Plaza Baratillo - We will walk near this square, connecting between its history and its current daily customs.
  • Museo Regional de Guanajuato Alhondiga de Granaditas - We will walk outside this emblematic building of our history, we will be transported to the beginning of the 19th century, when the War of Independence was brewing in the surroundings and right here the first battle occurs.
  • Mercado Hidalgo - Immediately we will move towards the beginning of the 20th century, where Porfirio Díaz, the President of Mexico, goes to inaugurate this great building with the aim of being a public market, so many stories occurred from its beginnings to the present day. Join us to learn more about its workers as well as the culinary traditions of our city.
  • Plaza de la Paz - Let’s admire this great square, where you can see the sculpture of Rafael Contreras known as “La Paz”, as well as the Collegiate Basilica of Our Lady of Guanajuato, according to your interests we will pay more attention to the Palace of the Powers, or to the house of the Conde Rul, or the Mariana Gallery, among others.
  • Guanajuato - This sixth attraction, I consider it more generic, since according to the special interests of the traveler we adapt the tour to alleys with murals, or alleys with views, or special photographic interests, among others.
  • Subterránea Miguel Hidalgo - We cannot understand the conformation of the city without going back to the history that its hills and rivers keep, and in particular: the development of the mining industry and the use that was given and has been given in the city of Guanajuato.

Very father experience - Excellent tour, Antonio was always very kind and attentive, he explained very interesting facts to us, since he lived his childhood in the center of Guanajuato, and you can see the love he has for his land. He was always very open to what we wanted to do first and as long as it took, my family loved it. The private tour is worth it because it adjusts to your needs and tastes. I highly recommend it.

An Amazing Introduction to the City! - We did this our first day in Guanajuato and it was great introduction to the history and layout of the city. Bere was very knowledgeable and full of information. She answered all the questions we had and recommended other places to visit.

Best private tour! - Antonio is the best tour guide! He is very knowledgeable and will adapt the tour depending on what you want too see. He explains a lot of interesting things you won't hear in a basic walking tour. 5 stars to Antonio!

Wonderful Tour. Wonderful Guide. - I am writing this review more than 10 days after the tour. But I cannot stop thinking about the great tour by Bere. It was educational and thorough. She definitely has a passion. I’m glad this is the first thing that we did when we arrived in Guanajuato. It really helped get us oriented to the city. But what I remember most was that I observed Bere quietly show kindness toward people that are less fortunate. She did this more than once. If everyone was like her what an amazing world it would be. She is quite remarkable!

GTO walking tour with Suzanna - Susanna was excellent. Knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating. She would welcome the tough questions and look up answers to questions she could not answer- and even replied to us after our tour had finished via e-mail. Being a native of Guanajuato, she was able to give us recommendations of other places to visit or eat at. Very enjoyable tour.

A stroll with Antonio - Lovely stroll through the town with Antonio. He walked us over to his old neighborhood where he grew up. He was full of entertaining stories, pointing out beautiful architecture along the way.

You want a Guanajuato tour? - Susana’s guidance through our Guanajuato tour was exceptional, offering an architectural, historical, and sociological perspective. The pace was comfortable with periodic stops to rest, and to take in the atmosphere. She was able to share so much information within a fairly small geographical area -phew! We followed up on Susana’s suggestions for gallery and restaurant visits the next day!

Perfect way to learn about the city - Our guide, Frida was so knowledgeable and passionate about Guanajuato. We learned so much and really got a good overview of the city. Frida also made many recommendations for things to see and restaurants to visit. All her recommendations were wonderful.
