This was a great tour and a perfect introduction to Guadalajara’s history and culture. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared a lot of interesting context about the city’s landmarks. I’d highly recommend it for anyone visiting for the first time or looking to understand more about Guadalajara’s past.

Fernando was an excellent tour guide. He was punctual and was in contact communication leading up to our meeting time. Tour did not feel rushed at all. Fernando spent ample time in each location going in depth with information. Came out of the tour definitely knowing more about Guadalajara's history than going in!

Fernando was a great tour guide. He provided, without being overwhelming, a good amount of information, historical context and background as well as current viewpoints and practical information for visitors to Guadalajara

My husband and I booked a walking tour of Guadalajara. Our guide was Fernando, who was excellent. Even with the construction zones, he was able to highlight what is taking place in the area for FIFA World Cup next year. He’s very knowledgeable of all the historic sites including in depth knowledge of the Orozco murals. He is professional, courteous, knowledgeable, friendly and great sense of humor. I highly recommend a tour with Fernando.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic Tour with Fernando – Insightful, Bilingual, and Kind! We had an incredible experience on our history and mural tour of Centro Guadalajara, thanks to Fernando. He was not only deeply knowledgeable about the city’s history, art, and architecture but also impressively bilingual, switching seamlessly between Spanish and English to make sure everyone felt included and informed. Fernando’s passion for the culture and history of Guadalajara really came through in every stop on the tour. He took time to answer questions, explain the stories behind the murals and buildings, and made everything engaging and accessible. His kindness, patience, and sense of humor added so much to the experience. If you’re considering a cultural tour in Guadalajara, Fernando is a top-tier guide—we left feeling more connected to the city and its rich history. Highly recommended!

This turned out to be a solo tour which I had not expected. Checo was an excellent guide. He was very knowledgeable and personable.

My sister and I had a truly wonderful time on this tour, and Fernando was an absolute highlight of the experience. He is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and kind, making the entire day both enjoyable and enriching. There is so much to see and learn on this tour—from fascinating architecture to vibrant murals—and Fernando brought each stop to life with his insights. I also had the chance to try Tejuino for the first time, which I personally loved! I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore and understand the local culture more deeply. I’m so grateful to have met Fernando and to have shared this memorable experience with such an exceptional guide.

Fernando was an excellent guide. He really went above and beyond and was so genuinely interested in the topics that he had to cut himself at times. This is a good thing! It didn't feel like he was rushing through the tour at all. We really enjoyed hearing his viewpoints on politics, the state of the country, and of course the history.

We started right on time at the kiosk. Fernando was great at providing detailed accounts at every stop we made. Since it was just me, we had lots of conversations about the different historical events of Guadalajara and México. He provided interesting insights specially at the Museo Cabañas. He walked me to the mercado and provided a great recommendation for the best birria there. Highly recommend him as a guide. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about local history and sharing it with others.
