Gabriel was a fantastic Tour guide! He took really good care of us (Bath room breaks, tissues, napkins,..). The market is an area you can hardly go only by yourself unless you wanna get lost in this maze! The food was amazing (I loved the corn soup & Tacos!) and he even encouraged me to taste some insects. 7 out of 5 stars! *******

Tlana our guide was great. Pleasant, energetic and explained the history of the city. It was a good overview and I highly recommend so you have an understanding of the art, buildings, food, markets etc. then you can explore further on your own feeling comfortable of your surrounding. Thank you Tlana.

Gabriel was a wonderful guide and very knowledgeable on the area and food we were eating. His personal connection to the market makes his tour even more special! We were two girls in our twenties and felt very comfortable and safe walking around the markets with him.

The trip was fun and the town of Tequila was the best part. The stop for lunch restaurant was rather expensive and not good vegetarian options.

Highly recommend this tour to become oriented to the historic center of Guadalajara.
