Diego was great and so knowledgeable. He related to us and was fun to be with. I will definitely recommend this tour and request Diego

Wonderful tour with Diego! Our family of 5 enjoyed exploring the markets and trying all the local food! He even gave us recommendations for the rest of the trip. Super wonderful kind guide and great to do on our first day in Guadalajara, to learn the “lay of the land.”
