Traveler Reviews

A good walking tour, in my opinion, leaves the traveler feeling a certain fondness and appreciation for the latest city they are visiting - it makes you feel that the thousands of miles traversed, the money spent, the carbon emissions spewed(!), have, arguably, been worth it. A great tour, on the other hand, does all of the above, but also leaves one feeling as if they have made a new friend in a land far away from their own - a truly special feeling. That is what I experienced after my wonderful private tour with Diego. Diego is a very welcoming, thoughtful, and gregarious young man whose passion and love for his hometown is clearly evident from the first minute of the tour. Diego provided me with outstanding context - historical, cultural, political, economic -for the various sights we saw in Guadalajara, with a special emphasis placed on the architecture of the city. Diego taught me so much about his city in 3 hours that, as a teacher myself, I felt that the price of the private

Diego is friendly, welcoming and engaging. He really understands the history of Guadalajara and it is obvious that he is proud of his wonderful home city. We followed his recommendation for lunch and also for dinner and we could not be happier with his choices. A walking tour with a local resident is always the best way to experience a new city. I highly recommend seeing Guadalajara with Diego. 5/5.

Diego was a fantastic tour guide! He provided us with the right level of interesting information and had a lot of good recommendations for us to consider in our free time--restaurants, museums, other neighborhoods to explore, etc. His tour was a great introduction to the city and we really enjoyed getting to know him along the way. I was considering a bike tour but decided to book this walking tour with Diego based on his reviews, and I'm so glad I did. I highly recommend this tour!

Diego was very informative and patient with our large group. We covered a lot of ground and learned a lot. Highly recommend!

Diego is extremely knowledgeable and personable. We greatly enjoyed our tour. We saw different neighborhoods and feel better able to negotiate the city
