Outstanding tour of culture and history - Diego was incredible, full of information and very flexible. Inside the market we had extra juice and tacos, Diego’s knowledge helped us appreciate the incredible place that much more.

Delicious food tour with Diego! - We had a fantastic time with Diego on this tour! He met us at our hotel and took us to the San Juan de Dios market. Diego has a deep love for Guadalajara and shared a lot of history and local color. The market is amazing — huge, colorful, and bustling, with all kinds of food and merchandise. We ate some of the most delicious food! The barbacoa tacos and torta ahogada were both wonderful, so tasty and made with love by some of the best vendors in the market. Diego also helped us shop for a few items we wanted, like boots and Christmas ornaments. His knowledge of the market, both its history and the vendors, must be unparalleled. We walked to lunch after the market and had a wonderful time eating birria and a local restaurant, capping off a great tour. We would highly recommend this tour with Diego!

An absolute must for the foodies!! - Diego shared some fantastic places to eat authentic Mexican food. I loved tacos at Felippes for breakfast and unbelievable ceviche at another stall in Mercado Libertad. The highlight was lunch of traditional Birria in a beautiful old hacienda El Pilón de Los Arrieros. It was so good we went back for dinner the next night!! Thank you for sharing your extensive knowledge on historical sites we visited along the way.
