Delightful, in-depth introduction to Guadalajara in only two hours. - Alex gave us a wonderful introduction to Guadalajara. His love of his city, plus his deep knowledge of its history, culture, art, and architecture made our walking tour a delight. We visited many buildings of historic significance, and at each, Alex’s stories brought the buildings to life. Because he is himself a musician, he was able to share great insight into the creative heritage of Guadalajara. In only two hours, we gained a great appreciation and familiarity with the city. Highly recommended!
