Manuel was a wonderful guide and gave us a great overview of Guanajuato's history and important sites. Best of all, as he has lived here his entire life, he was able to give us a personal recount of his experiences living there. Thanks Manuel!
Excellent informative historical tour with Manuel. I’m 73 and our wonderful tour guide has 10 years on me and has lived in the area his entire life and brings much experience to this tour. I promise you will learn much and will have no worries about the hills or altitude as Manny (Manuel) makes them seem effortless. Do yourself a favor and learn about the amazing history of Guanajuato
Mani was a great guide, it was really hot but he still took us to all the interesting spots in Guanajuato, making sure we were OK
Great tour guide, now I know the very important history of Guanajuato. Lots of historical buildings have a story to tell.
Guide was very knowledgeable about the city and about history. He lives and grew up in the city. We recommend
Lots of great historical information. Wonderful tour.Lots of walking but couldn’t be done by car. Manual was very knowledgeable and grew up in the city.
Mani was a knowledgeable guide and with his 82 years of age, we were impressed by his great physical condition in such a hilly town. We enjoyed his explanations and tips of additional activities.
Manuel was kind and very knowledgeable. We learned so much! This city has a special magic. I hope to return soon.

The tour guide, Mani was excellent. He showed us the history and best places of his hometown, with great details and from a personal point. It was a delight having him explain the sites. He was also extremely helpful in arranging a taxi ride for us to St. Miguel de Allende. Thank you, Mani!
We really enjoyed our tour and our guide Manny in particular. He is friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about his city. The content and duration were exactly what one would want in a tour of this nature. Highly recommended!!
Manuel gave us a great tour of the city. Very informative and he was an absolute joy to be with. A lot of "off the beaten path" details that were great. Be prepared to walk!
The tour was excellent. Alex had a great knowledge of Me ican history which was enlightening. I really felt I got to know Guanajuato in a very short time. I would highly recommend Alex as a tour guide.
Alex was our personal tour guide. He gave detailed history about the city and many of its most famous and important buildings. We learned so much, we returned later that same day to revisit some of the sites with a new knowledge and appreciation for them.
Alex Puga was our private tour operator. He made the difference between a good tour and a great tour, Alex, Puga’s vibrancy and dedication to customizing our interests made the tour, not only exciting, but very personalized. He has been a local since childhood knows every street knows every historical building its history, and a graduate of the university of Guanajuato. Quite a privilege to have him as a guide. I highly recommend him.
Our walking tour of Guanajuato was excellent. Our guide, Cris, provided a wide-ranging historic background to the city as we visited key sites, revealing the roots of the culture we now see around us. His passion for sharing what makes Mexico so special made it much easier for us to appreciate its people and their customs. Because we were his only two guests, Cris was able to satisfy all of our questions and curiosities as we walked. Although the tour was only two hours long, it gave us an in-depth introduction to Guanajuato, and fueled our desire to see and learn more. Highly recommended!
