Guadalajara tour - Did a tour and it was my lucky day since I was the only one. I had been in the town for two days and in the two hours of the tour, I learned infinitely more from him than I did in the 48 hours by myself. His English is perfect and all the knowledge and culture that was shared gave me a greater appreciation for the city. I would highly recommend if you care about learning about the city.

A journey thru the past and present. - The guide was very knowledgable and passionate about Guadalajara's history and current state. This was not a sleepy walk with a droning historyical recitation but more a journey thru past and present Guadalajara. It was a pleasant suprise!

Uncovering Parts of Guadalajara on Foot - Alex did an amazing job! We had seen many of the sights surrounding the Cathedral the day before, but to get the history of the buildings and its people added such a richness and depth to our experience. He was friendly and knowledgeable . We also loved the recommendations and tour of the market. Definitely worth it!

Unique and Deep Cultural Learning - Alex did an extraordinary job. He was very thorough with his descriptions of the city and its associated history. He was very balanced with his descriptions, and was mindful of the cultural influences and ongoing shortcomings. He pointed out really luscious details on murals and architecture. He even gave a primer on how tequila is made and took me through a food court. My visit to Guadalajara is hugely enhanced because of his knowledge and thoughtfulness. I highly recommend this tour and guide. It will not disappoint! Thanks, Alex!
