Overview

My name is Diego. I hold a bachelor's degree in tourism and a master's degree in social studies from the University of Guadalajara.

I created this experience to introduce travellers to Guadalajara, the city where I was born and raised.

More than a regular tour, I'd like to provide you with a thoughtful progression through the city, with an emphasis on history, architecture and socio-political movements.

In a fun and slow-paced 3-hour walk you'll see 10+ of Guadalajara's fundamental landmarks, including: the Cathedral, the city square and the main plazas and government buildings, templo Expiatorio, Mercado Libertad (the largest indoor market in Latin America), Colonia Americana, Hospicio Cabañas, Degollado Theatre, and more!

This is a fully-private experience, meaning your guide will give you exclusive attention and we'll go at your own pace, so a personalised high-quality experience is guaranteed.

Admire the beautifully preserved, eclectic architecture lining the leafy streets. This area has transformed into the city's hippest hangout, brimming with young energy.

Step into the grandeur of the 16th-century Renaissance Cathedral, a breathtaking testament to the region's rich history. Uncover its captivating secrets as we delve into its fascinating past.

We'll explore the 19th-century neoclassical Degollado Theatre, along with its surrounding plazas and churches. While I can't guarantee access to the theater's interior due to scheduling, the exterior and surrounding area offer a fascinating glimpse into the city's artistic history.

Plaza Fundadores

  • 20m
No tour of Guadalajara is complete without a visit to Founders Plaza. This landmark isn't just a pretty square; it's a window into the fascinating storey of Spanish colonisation in Western Mexico.
