Artist Studio Tour

5.00Alexandra was helpful even well before the tour -=she texted immediately upon booking and even helped with restaurant reservations. She took us to artist studios that we would never find on our own and that would not otherwise be open to the public.
Amazing!! Book this Tour!

5.00I don’t even have the words to say what an amazing experience this was. Alexandra did a great job of making sure we saw a huge variety of art, and met with most of the artists, seeing the spaces they work, hearing about their processes and ideas behind the work. The only thing we had to think about was how much art we could carry home (although Alexandra can assist in shipping) . Before the tour we were asked about anything specific we wanted to see. (The printing studio was amazing). We started the actual tour by picking up drinks for the artists and ourselves. We then went to 4 (?) different collectives/work spaces where we met about 10 artists. Many of the spaces also had other artists work to view as well. No one was pushy about selling, and everyone was so generous with their time and willingness to share about their art and the experience of being an artist in Guadalajara. After the tour Alexandra send a text list of all the artists we saw as well as links to their Instagram accounts. She is also an amazing resource for information about life in Guadalajara as a non native. The only thing I would have changed… maybe I wouldn’t have gone and seen a bunch of art with my day before the tour. My head is still spinning from everything I saw. When I am back in Guadalajara I will absolutely sign up for this trip again!

5.00This is the best tour to be immersed in a variety of art styles off the beaten path in Guadalajara. Alexandra is highly connected to the artists community and is a wealth of information about the scene. The best part of the tour is visiting and chatting with multiple artists in one day right in their studios. An afternoon well spent in Guadalajara!

A Must for Art Enthusiasts

5.00A really helpful introduction to Guadalajara’s art scene. We visited several working studios, often with multiple artists in each space, and it would have been impossible to find these places independently. Alexandra is welcoming and knowledgeable, and the atmosphere was relaxed and conversational rather than formal. A good choice if you want to see how the local scene functions day to day and meet artists directly.
Excellent time with artists

A must tour in Guadalajara for art lovers

5.00Me and my friends are huge art junkies so we actively looked for an art tour and oh my were we lucky to come across this one. This is hands down one of the best art tours I have ever done. You get to meet the artists and go into studios you wouldn’t under other circumstances have access to. We absolutely loved it and wish we had more days to go it again and visit more studios.

5.00Ally was simply wonderful! We learned about the art scene in Guadalajara, visiting several studios, meeting artists, and viewing street art. Exposure to art would not be possible without Ally and her amazing connections. She did a great job on the tour and was welcoming, friendly, and accommodating all guests in our family. This tour is not to be missed!
