we took this tour and loved it1 - I wanted to visit the homes designed Barragán in Guadalajara, but I was unsure how to make it happen. I am a big fan of the architecture by Barragán and I was so glad to book this tour. Diego gave a wonderful tour with his local insight and background in architecture we learned a lot and had fun. The tour started with tasty local breakfast, and included a walking tour with lots of very interesting historical, and art-historical insights. Diego is knowledgeable, kind, and lively. I am so glad we booked the Barragán tour with Diego.

Fun and in-depth Barragan tour - We absolutely loved this tour and consider it a highlight of our trip, and would recommend it for serious architecture buffs and more casual admirers (like us). After doing some architectural tours in Mexico City, we were excited to see Barragan's earlier work in Guadalajara. We were fortunate to get inside almost all the buildings we visited, and they were stunning. Diego was a fantastic guide, and was very knowledgeable about Barragan, the sites we visited, and Guadalajara as a whole. He tailored the tour to our needs and interests, and gave us some great tips (including the best spots for craft beer). The visit to the local market at the start of the tour for a delicious breakfast of quesadillas was a great start. We were fortunate to have Diego for a market food tour the next day, which we also recommend.

magical time - We had an amazing time on the Barragan tour with Diego. We spent two weeks in Guadalajara and this was the highlight of our trip. Diego is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, walking and talking with him felt like spending the day with a friend who just happens to know everything about the city's history, architecture, neighbourhoods, and the best places to eat. Seeing the city, its food and buildings through Diego's eyes was amazing, and being amongst and inside Barragan's work, experiencing the light and movement through his spaces firsthand, was truly magical! My one regret is that we didn't do this tour earlier in our trip, Diego's recommendations and insights into the different neighbourhoods and history would have shaped how we spent our time and given us sharpened eyes to look at the city through. Next time we are in Guadalajara we will definitely try his other tours. Thanks so much Diego!

Beautiful architecture, delicious food! - Diego was wonderful! His love for Guadalajara's architecture and cultural tradition was apparent in every word he spoke. After a delicious breakfast in Mercado Santa Tere, we toured several breathtaking examples of Barragán's early work in Col. Americana. The tour ended with tequila and conversation at a beautiful bar/restaurant in a restored historic mansion. Not once did we feel rushed or uncomfortable, and Diego offered many tailored recommendations just for my husband and I. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to learn more about this beautiful city and its history.
