5.00We were in Guadalajara for a wedding and decided to take a walking tour of the city center. Our guide was Alex. He did a great job of showing us the highlights, the history, and the culture. The Cathedral is beautiful and the San Juan Mercado was huge and very interesting. We learned a lot and thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Our timing was good...the tabachín trees were in full red bloom with a few jacaranda trees still showing their purple flowers
