The tour was very interesting, we were able to visit many of the main points of interest in Guadalajara.
I took this tour solo and it ended up being one of the highlights of my time in Guadalajara. Ramone was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. It never felt like a scripted tour, more like exploring the city with someone who genuinely loves sharing its history and culture. What stood out most was how much I actually learned. Between the historical context, cultural insights, and fun facts along the way, I got more out of this tour than the other three I did combined. Tlaquepaque is absolutely magical—colorful, vibrant, and full of character. This tour is the perfect introduction to Guadalajara, and I’d strongly recommend doing it on your first day to really understand the city, its culture, and its history.
Beautiful place. Felt safe. Tlaquepaque is absolutely amazing! I do not recommend the food at el Parian- it was bad, cold and overpriced! My mother saw the staff remove our leftover food to serve to other guests. Coneplely disgusting! The mariachi was a little bothersome and would not play without play. Go to La Fuente instead- better food and free mariachi on the weekend. Really a beautiful place!
Ramón was an excellent tour guide. We asked questions anything from history, climate, politics, muralist art of Orozco , food and drinks- discovered “ La caserola” tequila drink with soft drink squirt and plenty of natural fruits. It was a warm day but jumping shop to shop and enjoying best food in Casa Luna made for an exciting day trip A fun day enjoyed by all!
I enjoyed the excursion. I was amazed at how El Centro maintained its beauty after all these years. Tlaquepaque is so charming, and we found some fantastic treasures.
We're so glad you enjoyed the excursion! El Centro truly maintains its charm over the years. And Tlaquepaque is such a gem—full of art, culture, and unique spots. We're happy to hear you found some fantastic treasures!
A good introduction to Guadalajara. Our guide Orlando was knowledgeable and we enjoyed spending the day with him.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad you had a great introduction to Guadalajara and enjoyed your day with Orlando. We hope to see you again soon!
We did a family tour to Tlaquepaque on the night of 27-3-2025. A very nice experience. A magical town with an exceptional atmosphere. Suitable for walking at night and taking pictures of its finely lit churches and dining at one of its many restaurants. 100% recommended.
¡Muchas gracias por compartir tu experiencia familiar en Tlaquepaque! Nos alegra mucho saber que disfrutaron del ambiente mágico del pueblo. Sin duda, es un lugar ideal para pasear y capturar momentos especiales.
The bilingual guide was extremely informative and patient. The tour hit all the highlights of the city. Tlaquepaque was a key part of the tour - well worth seeing.

Love the hotel pickup. Just make sure downstairs at the scheduled pick-up time and have telephone numbers available in case they miss you in the lobby. It was a wonderful experience. The tour guide and driver was so very friendly and made you feel comfortable. The tour guide was very knowledgeable Impatient. I love the way they stayed with us throughout the tour.
It was a brief tour of the historic Centro area, followed by dropping us off at Tlaquepaque. We didn't see as much of Centro as we would have liked, and didn't learn too much of the history. Too much time was allocated to shopping in Tlaquepeque - we would have liked to go to Tonala also.
Thank you for your feedback, and we're sorry we didn't meet your expectations in terms of content. We'll take your comments into consideration regarding that and the time spent shopping in Tlaquepaque. We actually have another tour that includes Tonalá. We hope to see you soon for a new experience!
