Guanajuato is all the better through the eyes of a seasoned guide with deep family roots - The tour, which Susana, our guide, must have done a thousand times, seemed so personalized for us and so fresh. As we walked, she was warmly welcomed by so many. She quickly figured out our interests and personalized the tour. A great overview of the town, its history -including the part her family members played in it. It was truly helpful to us in the subsequent days as we explored the town in more depth. Susana sent us more recommendations via email after the tour, many of which we utilized. A fabulous restaurant owned by her brother and sister-in-law where we met another one of Susana's clients from the day before us. We were welcomed like family, met another wonderful couple and feasted the night away in pleasant conversation. Her breakfast suggestion was 5 star - an 18 year old who just opened an amazing restaurant, Platto, where we met his mother and older brother who were working. We rode the funincular, visited the Diego Rivera Museum, the Hacienda San Gabriel, the Alhondiga de Granaditas, the Presa de la Olla neighborhood, and bought a wonderful necklace from a recommended silver shop. I am in conversation with a recommended silver maker about a tin Christmas tree. Sadly, the theater was closed for maintenance, but it must be visited another time when we return. I also left my cell phone in san Uber and a kind passenger after me found it and it was returned...truly good karma. It is a wonderful city, highly recommended...and such friendly people. And you will love Susana.

Tour with Susana from Cacomixtle in Guanajuato - Susana was a great tour guide. She was attentive, took many breaks to allow for viewing, pictures & questions. She took me to many different sites, and she was knowledgeable about the significance of each one. Susana was helpful to personalize my tour. I as looking for specific souvenirs. She took me to some local vendors. I couldn't ask for a better tour guide. She has great knowledge of her home City and speaks English fluently. She was flexible with the route, how much time we took, and we had great snacks along the way. She knows alot of the local business people, restaurants & historic site information. I had a problem with the return trip on the bus, and Susana was helpful to translate for me. She made suggestions to help me get home safely. Thanks Susana! Please don't hesitate to have a tour in Guanajuato with her and her Tour Company, Cacomixtle.

Antonio shows us around... - Antonio shows us around the city centre and we took in a huge amount in just two hours. He has so much historical and personal knowledge of the city it was a real pleasure to hear all the little details you would normally miss. Definitely recommended, especially if you’re short on time in Guanajuato 👍

Delicious food with a history lesson - Had a private cultural/history tour with the lovely Susana! She was so accommodating when I was looking for a different time slot. She took us to multiple spots throughout the city and we even got to see a john wick look a like at night! We also got to walk through the tunnels at night which was really fun. The three taco spots we went to were also delicious. Could not have had a better experience and tour guide! Highly recommend, thank you Susana for a wonderful time :)

Pot Dam Tour WITH DOGS!! - I would give it a 5 out of 5 experience. Complete communication with Bere the tour guide. Very knowledgeable about the place and gave us enough guidelines to rehydrate, we even had the opportunity to add our furry friends. Highly recommended the tour of the Pot Dam and we finish to the Olga Costa Art Museum.
