Great intro to Guadalajara - We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour of Guadalajara centro. Our guide, Diego, was knowledgeable and charming. He introduced us to some of the fascinating history of this amazing city as we took in many of the historical sights. Diego endeavoured to answer many of our questions about local and Mexican culture. He was patient and approachable, and had a great sense of humour. Highly recommended!

Scam. Do not reccommend. - Would have been great but the guide did not show up. We showed up around 25 minutes earlier to the location provided, which, was in the most general area (the plaza) and had no specific point to meet at. We asked multiple locals and they all pointed us towards the general tourist area, but there were no walking tours in sight. After waiting for so long and not receiving any response after contacting the guide and the viator company, we requested a refund. The travel company had the audacity to state that the tour guide did show up with a "purple umbrella" and denied our refund. Nowhere in the instructions was it stated that the guide would be holding a purple umbrella, and we did not even see anyone with a purple umbrella in such a huge plaza. For anyone booking this tour, don't, as it is a scam through the guide as well as the company. And if it is not, I still humbly request a full-refund and advise the website to add a more specific meet-up location, rather than a general plaza filled with hundreds of people. All there is to say is, I saw a review under this tour saying that the guide did not show up, and I should have listened to them and booked a more trustable tour before I was scammed.

Canceled on short notice - They canceled the tour on short notice. I was already at the start location and didn’t find the cancellation notice until I returned to my hotel hours later.

No one showed up for our tour which was really Disappointing. We took a taxi into Guadalajara for this and no show. - Didn’t have any. We did not get a tour guide so had to do it on our own. We waited for one half hour for someone to arrive.Very disappointing.
