Guadalajara Private Walking Tour
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
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.
Additional Info
Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller

Take the weather into account when booking your tour. Guadalajara enjoys warm temperatures and abundant sunshine year-round, so early hours (7 to 9 am) offer the most pleasant conditions.

What To Expect
Glorieta de Los Ninos Heroes
Step back in time to Colonia Americana, Guadalajara's historic district built by 19th-century American, European and Mexican industrialists. Admire the beautifully preserved, eclectic architecture lining the leafy streets. This neighborhood has transformed into the city's hippest hangout, brimming with young energy. Here, you'll find a vibrant scene of art galleries, trendy restaurants, and stylish bars.
Templo Expiatorio del Santisimo Sacramento
This magnificent neo-Gothic Catholic church offers a glimpse into the city's rich history, including its religious conflicts shaped by the cultural and economic influence of the US in Mexico. I'll delve into these fascinating details during our tour.

5.00Our family was visiting Guadalajara and wanted to get to know the history and information about the buildings and areas that make up the center of the city center. Diego was very informative in all these areas. He was very attentive to our needs as far as coffee, bathroom, lunch and rest! It was so wonderful to appreciate that area and its history. Everyone in our group would highly recommend Diego’s Walking Tour.

5.00Diego's private walking tour was the absolute perfect way to kick off our vacation and immerse ourselves in Guadalajara's history and culture. He is an exceptional guide, seamlessly blending in-depth knowledge of dates and facts with the fascinating local stories that truly bring each location to life. Our tour started with the historic mansions of Colonia Americana, where we made a delicious stop for a must-try Guadalajara classic, the torta ahogada. We then explored three more barrios, each offering a unique atmosphere and points of interest, including a visit to the magnificent Cathedral. The tour ended at Mercado Libertad, the largest market in Latin America. Diego was an expert navigator, leading us through the thousands of bustling stalls directly to the best Birria tacos. If you want to learn about the city from a local expert with a passion for its rich history, look no further. Highly recommend this 5-star experience!
Very good tour
