Our guide Flower and our driver Javier were amazing. Very accommodating to our needs. Checked in with us on a regular basis to make sure we were good. Flower is a wealth of knowledge. I am one to ask many questions and Flower was prepared. I highly recommend this tour, this guide and this driver.

The Mines tour was excellent. Flor picked us up right near our hotel in central Guanajuato in a nice air-conditioned car for our private tour. Her English was great and she was very nice and informative. We drove to 4 sites, mostly areas of former mining, but also had great beauty and history of the culture and life of the people from the 1500s to present. Overall it was a great way to spend 4 hours to explore outside the city center and learn about the history of the area.

We had a great experience with our guide Flor. Perfect timing, interesting program, careful driving. Flor has provided a lot of historic details about the old mines and answered all our questions. The tour was well organized and very informative. We have visited beautiful places as well as the oldest mine in the city. Highly recommended when visiting Guanajuato!
