Traveler Reviews

Best tour of historic Guadalajara. We started walked through museums, different plazas and the market. He gave us detailed explanations about the history and the culture of the city. Learned many interesting facts about the city’s origin and culture. After the tour was over, he helped us find a good restaurant that locals frequent for lunch. Would recommend this tour for anyone!

Fernandos expert knowledge and communication skills made this a fantastic tour.. He is a historian, fluent in English and Spanish and very interested in his tour participants needs. Book this one !

Fernando gave an excellent tour. He combined history of Guadalajara with that of the cathedral , churches, natural history and at my request a little more focussed on aspects of pre Columbia’s history. He was able to deal with any questions concerning Guadalajara and Mexico in general that were beyond the main content of the tour. When you are in Guadalajara, this tour is a must! It greatly enriched my experience of Guadalajara.

Fernando shared his passion for history and knowledge of the city in an easy paced tour. Because it is the holiday season (paid concerts) and it was a Sunday tour, we were unable to see inside the theater and government building, but we saw more churches, and outdoor statues. He stayed with us and showed us best places to eat in the Mercardo and made sure we found our parked car after the tour. The murals were incredible and thought provoking. We left feeling satiated and felt as if we had made a new friend. Looking forward to visiting the city again. Any tour Fernadao is offering, take it. Like a favorite colleges professor, he makes the subject matter come alive.

This is one of the best tours I did in Mexico. Fernando really knows his history. I was planning on doing the free walking tour. But decided to join Fernando. He really took the time and didnt rush anything. A real personal approach. You don’t see this often. When in Guadalajara start your visit with Fernando. He knows the hotspots. We ended in a bar with a few Mezcals and even there the passionate Fernando continued with telling me al sort of info about his beautiful city. I WILL BE BACK!!!
