The tour was great. Our guide Alex was very knowledgable and pleasant. It was a fair bit of walking - which is my favourite way to explore a city. I learned a lot.

    This is a great tour to familiarize yourself about the architecture and history of central Guadalajara. Our tour group was small and we had lots of opportunities to ask questions. I learn something new about the city and the culture each time I take a Viator tour.

    An introduction to the history of Guadalajara by walking through the historic centro district. Alex was very personable as well as knowledgeable. We learned so much more than if we had just walked around ourselves.
