Overview
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.

What to expect
-
Templo Expiatorio del Santisimo Sacramento
20 min
This majestic neo-gothic Catholic church will allow us to discover the history of the city's religious conflicts, which are intrinsically linked to the cultural and economic influence of the US in Mexico. I will explain everything in detail as part of the tour.
-
Guadalajara Cathedral
45 min
This spectacular 16th-century renaissance Cathedral is the most emblematic religious site of Western Mexico. I will tell you its most interesting secrets!
We will also visit the four surrounding marvellous plazas where you will be impressed by the beauty of the novo-hispanic, baroque, art nouveau, and neoclassical architecture. -
Teatro Degollado
15 min
We will visit the 19th-century neoclassical Degollado Teather and its sorrounding plazas and churches. The visit to the theather's interior depends on the COVID-19 restrictions.
-
Mercado Libertad
45 min
This is the biggest indoor market in Latin America and the ultimate food and shopping paradise. Here you'll get to admire the vast diversity of souvenirs, handicrafts and products while interacting with the local vendors.
-
Instituto Cultural Cabanas
45 min
This UNESCO Heritage Site (closed on Mondays) is home to the astonishing murals of Clemente Orozco, one of Mexico's three greatest muralists alongside Diego Rivera and David Siqueiros (I will not go inside the museum with you since they have their own UNESCO-certified guides). The spectacular 19th-century neoclassical building was used as an orphanage until 1980 and is now one of the most prestigious cultural centers in Latin America.
