5.00Our tour guide was by far the most exceptional one I have had the pleasure of experiencing. She was brilliant and also extremely interesting, wise and relevant. I enjoyed every minute of my time with her. Viator is very fortunate to have her available to their clients.

5.00We did this our first day in Guanajuato. This was a fantastic way to get oriented to the city. Mariana was an absolutely amazing tour guide! As we walked around, she shared so much about the history & culture of Guanajuato. She also shared her favorite spots to eat and drink which was super helpful to include in our vacation here. 100% recommend this tour and Mariana!
A wonderful experience. Mariana is amazing!

5.00Mariana was so awesome. Every time I travel I think of reading up on local history but never have the time. She packed in so much history and tied it to physical landmarks and symbology. She touched on viceroyalty history, mx independence, mining history, us relations, the local university, Cervantes and Diego Rivera. Recommended several local places for food and coffee avoiding touristy places and bending toward quality local authenticity (and we were able to try a few later and they were great.) Got the lowdown on subterranean streets and tunnels as well. She was very accomodating to questions and alterations but we were happy to just follow her normal itinerary. She was so cool. We already miss you mi prima! Chris and Erin N.
Mariana taught us to appreciate the culture history & personality of Guanaquato, and made us feel like family

5.00Mariana was fantastic guide. She opened our eyes to see & understand the history. Traditions & culture of Guanaquato. We could have missed so much..She took us to so many historical places. . Also she described ,& showed us the levels of the city resulting from each flood, the architecture & more. We would have missed so much without having this tour. She answered all our questions.we are eager to see more as a result.

5.00Mariana was fantastic. She has incredible knowledge of Guanajuato and Mexican history. And she offered lots of recommendations for food, drinks, coffee and more. This tour is the perfect way to get acquainted with Guanajuato. I’d suggest doing it on your first full day in the city.
