Excellent tour! - Fernando was great! Very nice, very knowledgeable, and funny. If you are looking for a tour of Guadalajara as an American that knows nothing about Mexico, this is the tour for you.

Learn the Guadalajara basics - It was a nice walk and talk around the city's historic center. Fernando was nice and knowledgeable, taking the time to answer all of our questions (and I did have a lot of them!).
The murals were quite the sight. I doubt most traditional conservative tourists would enjoy the real Mexican history with all it's nuances, but we did.
If you're interested in going beyond the Instagram photo and actually knowing the history of Guadalajara, take this tour.

Informative and Fun! - Francisco was absolutely amazing! From the moment we met him, we could tell he was going to be a fantastic guide. He was super patient, especially with all of our random (and sometimes totally off-the-wall) questions. No matter what we threw at him, he answered with a smile, and you could just feel his passion for the history of Guadalajara shining through every word.
What really stood out was how enthusiastic he was about the Orozco Murals inside the Hospicio Cabañas. You could see his eyes light up as he started explaining the stories behind the murals and the deep meaning within each brushstroke. It was like having our own personal historian and art critic wrapped into one! His excitement was contagious, and by the time we left, we all felt like we had a deeper connection to the artwork and the rich history behind it.
Francisco didn’t just guide us through the sights; he brought the city’s history to life with his incredible storytelling and genuine love for Guadalajara. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide!

A great walking tour brought to life by our guide Alexandra - Our guide Alexandra was excellent. She gave us much information and context as she walked us along the streets, through the markets, into churches and plazas as well as introducing us to some local people. Her enthusiasm for Guadalajara was palpable. A great walking tour.

Absolutely Amazing. Fernando is incredible. - Fernando was amazing! We truly could not have had a better experience. He was such a wealth of knowledge and gave us a deep understanding of the city and its jewels. And to be able to see these artworks up close and personal and know the history, we are so grateful. Thank you Fernando for your invaluable time and knowledge spent on us. You were the highlight of our time in Guadalajara.

An excellent tour made extraordinary by our guide, Fernando Rodriguez! - I did the History & Muralism: Guadalajara Walking Tour via Viator and it was excellent. Our guide, Fernando Rodriguez, definitely contributed to the five star review with his deep knowledge of the history and the social and political environment of Guadalajara. The tour covered every place promised and we had enough time to explore some locations on our own. We benefited from Fernando's insider tips and his relationships with the employees at different sites in order to see a few spots that were otherwise inaccessible the day of our tour. I'm so glad I took this tour with Fernando so early in my six-week visit to Guadalajara!
