Guadalajara Private Walking Tour
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 travelers 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 Theater, 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 personalized high-quality experience is guaranteed.
