Must do - Fernando was wonderful and so knowledgeable. Really fascinating tour that covers history, art, culture and more. We were the only people on the English speaking tpur so it was a private tour as well.

Fernando was wonderful and the city and murals are filled with the beautiful history. - Fernando is an excellent and professional tour guide. His communication with me through it all (there was some scheduling conflicts) was quick and clear. My adult son and I took this tour specifically for the murals and he was extremely well educated on the artist, the vision, the history behind it. He gave us time to soak it in first and then took time going through them. The visit to the library was perfect for us as my son is a huge reader. We learned some much about Mexicos beginnings -that I have to admit o did not know about preciously. Take this tour, it’s a good deal of walking but it’s worth it.

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.
