Great time in GDL - Just got back from Guadalajara and can’t say enough good things about our guide! From the moment we met, it was clear we were in great hands—knowledgeable, personable, and passionate about the city. He took us beyond the tourist trail to hidden gems, local eateries, and neighborhoods we’d never have found on our own. Every stop came with stories and history that really brought the place to life. He also made sure we were comfortable, never rushed, and always had the best recommendations. If you want to experience Guadalajara like a local, this guide is absolutely the way to go!

perfect day - Alex made meeting easy by sending a directions link and to look for his purple umbrella. English is his first language and he is very knowledgeable. The tour did not feel rushed and I left understanding more about the history and politics of Mexico. We seperated in a shopping area so I had fun even after we left. I strongly recommend!

Excellent experience! - Alex was an amazing your guide. He had a wealth of information to share about the history of the area. His English is perfect, but his knowledge of Spanish is equally astounding.

Perfect stroll through Guadalajara Centro to learn its history. - Alex was the perfect guide with deep knowledge of Guadalajara’s history. We even got a chance to go inside the city hall. We learned so much on what turned out to be a private guided tour as others didn’t make it. So it was just the 4 of us on a Monday which was perfect! We highly recommend Alex for a walk around Centro and learn about Guadalajara ❤️ 🇲🇽
