Wonderful introduction to Centro Guadalajara - Alex was wonderful tour guide. He took us to the top spots in Centro Guadalajara. His knowledge of history is impressive we were treated to a private tour, as no one else had signed up for today’s tour. Highly recommended.

Highly recommend - great English fluent guide - Alex was great and provided history of the area while also talking about the present state of Guadalajara. We would have never found the places he showed us or known about the sites. Great tips on food and shopping too. Very personalable and friendly. Highly recommend!!

10/10 A must do walking tour with Alex in Guadalajara - 10/10 tour with Alex!!! You will not regret it! I can’t say enough good things about our walking tour with Alex in Guadalajara! From the moment we met, Alex made us feel welcome, excited, and completely at ease. His knowledge of the city—its history, culture, food, and hidden gems—is nothing short of impressive. What really set Alex apart was his passion. You can tell he truly loves Guadalajara and wants visitors to experience its heart, not just its highlights. We explored beautiful colonial architecture, learned fascinating stories about the city’s past, and even got insider tips on local spots we never would’ve found on our own.

Perfect for our first full day - Alex is an amazing guide! Very personable, knowledgeable, and helpful. He made 200 year old historical facts sound like hot tea. This was the perfect first day in Guadalajara to give context to the city's rich cultural history in both place and time. We were able to go into places we never could have without a guide. Highly recommended this perfectly paced tour.
