Ramses and Daniel were the best guides ever! Both gentleman were the sweet and most knowledgeable guides. Their love and respect for their city shows as they describe the culture and scenery that we went around and saw. They accommodated a bilingual tour for us and Ramses gave us so many cool facts and stories about the area as we drove around. The inquisition museum, the mines, and of course the false mummy museum were the best and my family had the best time ever!!

Full description

Discover the full story behind Guanajuato’s colonial past in this immersive private tour that reveals the city’s role in New Spain’s mining boom and the shadowy legacy of the Holy Inquisition. Led by expert guides, this curated experience gives you access to the most emblematic museums and historical sites that shaped the identity of this UNESCO-listed city.

You’ll explore the eerie halls of the Museo de las Momias, walk through the interior of an authentic colonial-era mine, and gain insight into the religious and political power structures of the time, including the far-reaching influence of the Holy Inquisition.

From the comfort of a private vehicle, you’ll also pass iconic landmarks such as the Alhóndiga de Granaditas—scene of one of Mexico’s most important battles for independence—while enjoying commentary that brings its history to life. The route includes a unique journey through Guanajuato’s famous underground streets and tunnels, a marvel of urban engineering that reflects the city’s mining legacy.

Along the way, admire majestic colonial architecture, vibrant plazas, and baroque churches. Whether it’s the sweeping views from the Mirador del Pípila or the hidden stories behind every stone façade, each stop deepens your understanding of Guanajuato’s cultural fabric.

This experience is ideal for travelers who want more than just sightseeing—those who seek the stories, struggles, and legacies behind the beauty. Perfect for first-time visitors and seasoned explorers alike.
