Mariana's tour is HIGHLY recommended - Mariana is an outstanding guide. When we travel, we always try to find a local tour. Mariana is the BEST. She is knowledgeable, provided interesting anecdotes, spoke on a wide variety of topics, and so was able to blend history, architecture, local stories, and current events to make the city's history come alive. We are grateful to have found this tour. The best part of our trip. Highly recommended.

Wonderful Experience - would recommend to all - Great experience, we would highly recommend it to everyone. Our guide Frida was exceptional. Some of us spoke English and some spoke both English and Spanish and she is fluent in both. She had a great attitude and was very patient with all of our questions.

Historical tour comes to life - We loved our historical walking tour with Mariana. She is so educated and dynamic. She explains history and weaves it all together so you retain it. She shared some of her favorite spots. She took great pictures of my husband and I at some of the key spots and made us feel like family. I highly recommend Mariana and when I come back, I wan to go on another tour with her.

A Guanajuato GEM!!! - Mariana was an incredible tour guide! The tour was interactive, fascinating, and full of facts!! You can tell that she is committed and has a great love for historic Guanajuato city. She focused on a local not touristic point of view. You will learn so much about Guanajuato’s role in the building of Mexico! Another plus is Mariana’s recommendations for food and drink. You will not go wrong! Thank you Mariana! You are very very very appreciated!
