- Mercado Hidalgo - Walking down the quaint “callejones” or narrow cobblestone streets towards the Hidalgo Market. The market’s building structure is a disorganized mixture of different elements, ideas, and styles that was originally constructed to be a major train station

Historic Guanajuato City - After a great time in Mexico City, Estigo Tours strongly suggested we visit Guanajuato and we were not disappointed at this recommendation.
It is beautiful with so much history. We went on a 3 hour walking tour of this magnificent city which was organized by Estigo Tours and our tour guide was nothing but exceptional. His knowledge of the history of this city was really mind blowing! How did he remember everything? He took us to see the basilica, the restored theatre and we took the funicular up to the top of the hill to see the large statue and saw a great view of the city. We ended our tour with a visit to the Diego rivera gallery which was fascinating.
I highly recommend visiting this gorgeous city! Wear good walking shoes!

Guanajuato walking tour was fantastic! - This place is amazing and the tour we took was a must do to get a full picture of the place and its myriad of tunnels and history. We had an excellent guide from Estigo Tours who had over 30 years of experience guiding in his beloved town and knew it inside and out. We loved learning about the wonderful architecture and taking the funicular to the top of the hillside was a highlight. The views are outstanding up there. Wear comfortable shoes because it’s almost 4 miles of walking on cobblestone streets and hills. Totally worth it! Such a vibrant colourful history.

Guanajuato above and below ground - We really enjoyed our tour of Guanajuato’s tunnels and subterranean streets with Roberto and got a much better understanding of how the city was constructed. Roberto was a delight, providing us with just the right amount of history, personal stories and anecdotes and humor. We would thoroughly recommend this tour! A great use of 3 hours.

Excellent guide and tour! - Alex was an excellent guide! He was so knowledgeable about Mexican history and also entertained us with folklore and ghost stories! He also modified the trip slightly for us when we indicated we had already done part of what he planned to show us. Excellent tour all around!

Estigo Tours is Great - We have used Estigo Tours several times with great success. This was our first trip to Guanajuato and we LOVED IT! It's such a fun amazing town! Out tour guide was friendly, full of interesting knowledge, patient with our group and has a genuine love of the city which you can feel.
As I mentioned, we've used Estigo Tours in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico City and now Guanajuato and they've never missed a beat, never the slightest hiccup and all their employees have been great to work with. Highly recommended.

Great afternoon, great guide - Pedro at Estigo tours was extremely polite and professional. Great communication throughout the entire booking process and the tour.
Roberto our guide was amazing. He had such a deep knowledge and passion for the city and it's history that it was infectious. Walking the city, with a knowledgeable guide brought the cities history to life. A statue was no longer just a statue, but a living breathing remnant of the past. Roberto had a tremendous amount of knowledge about not just Guanajuato and it's past, but the entire History of Mexico and it's Independence . We were so glad we booked this tour!

Excellent Tour - Roberto, our tour guide, took us on a 3.5 hour tour of Guanajuato. He was passionate about the information he shared. He shared details about the culture, history, and way of living. Roberto was awesome. Don’t think twice about taking this tour. Ask for Roberto as your tour guide and he will bring this bustling city to life!
