We highly recommend taking this walking tour with Mariana. She is a smart, lively, charming cookie! We learned a lot and had a wonderful experience. There were a few things I thought I knew but got to learn the real story.

Our tour guide, Mariana, was very friendly and informative about the history of Guanajuato. We learned so much, which enhanced our visit to this beautiful city. She also guided us to the best coffee shop and restaurants in town. She took photos and a video of my husband and me and offered to answer any of our questions via what’s app long after the tour was over. If you choose this tour, wear comfortable walking shoes, because there’s a lot of standing and walking on cobblestone roads. She was generous with her time and thorough with her explanations. Our tour lasted 4 hours instead of the 3 hours listed.F7300RBkimb

If you do only one thing in Guanajuato, make sure it is to take Mariana’s tour. She is energetic, knowledgeable and loves sharing all that she knows about her city. She was extremely helpful in recommending places to see that were not on the tour and she actively helped us with dinner reservations and other resources we needed. She will bring a smile to your face and a song to your heart.489jensenk

This is my third trip to Guanajuato and up until taking this tour, the city was an absolute mystery to me. Thanks to Mariana I really feel I have a much deeper, richer understanding of the place: the history, the architecture, social issues and of course the best places to eat and drink. But in addition to adding depth to our appreciation of Guanajuato, we also had a lot of fun with Mariana and we feel like we have a friend here. Bottom line… take this tour if you want to really appreciate what you are seeing in Guanajuato. Thank you very much Mariana Ps Mariana is also a great photographer and will help you get the best pics for your memories
