It's too worth it, we'd take it back - This tour was awesome! My boyfriend and I enjoyed it and learned a lot, our Mariana guide was always super friendly, super cool, chatty and laughing, I adapt the tour to what we wanted to see and hear. We felt very comfortable, it was like a walk with family :3 When we arrived we ran late for the parking and she very friendly waited for us and helped us find a place, also during the start of the tour she took us to a post for breakfast and hold haha Thank you very much Mariana, I can say that it is the best tour I have gone on. Pd. Besides we took some super nice pictures, it seemed we had rented photographer. :p

Go With Mariana—Best Walking Tour Ever - My walking tour of Guanjuato with Mariana was the best I’ve had—ever! I have visited Guanjuato before but this tour made me fall in love with the city. Mariana was extremely knowledgeable about history, art, architecture and culture. She was passionate about her city and showed us all the main sites plus some off-the-radar areas. She is very personable and has a great sense of humor—she was able to explain Mexican history succinctly and the important role of Guanjuato in the revolution. She also recommended places for lunch, coffee, dinner, drinks and gelato. We took her up on all her suggestions, which were great. I appreciated her willingness to discuss politics and share her insights on the new president of Mexico as well as the role the United States is playing. She is someone who I can call my friend despite the short time we spent together.

You learn the history and... - You learn the history and see it. Marianna was great. If you want to see how tunnels were built to handle flooding it’s a must

Underground Guanajuato Tour is amazing - On this alternative tour I learned a lot and you can appreciate the history of Guanajuato through its underground streets and tunnels. Mariana is an incredible guide and her training as a historian as well as tourism allowed us to have a complete picture of the history of Guanajuato. I highly recommend it, we all deserve such a good guide and as complete a service as Mariana's.
