★★★★★Tripadvisor review
A great private English tour of an amazing city.
Ruben604, October 2026
Alecxaí was a great guide. Seeing the city through his cultural historian lens was valuable for understanding the extensive multi-layered history of Guanajuato. He showed me many details that you just can’t find with a self-guided “Google” exploration. He was friendly, accommodating, and spoke great English. Highly recommended!

Alex Gave Us a Grand Tour
Lisa_K, July 2026
Alex was our tour guide, and he provided us with a fantastic experience. It certainly helped that Alex was getting his PhD at the local university and that he was from Guanajuato. We learned an incredible amount about the culture, history, and what’s going on today. The stop at the Cervantes library was the highlight of the tour. Alex answered all our questions with patience and generosity. We highly recommend asking that Alex be your tour guide. You’ll be pleased and leave Guanajuato with a greater appreciation of the city, its culture and people.

Absolutely worth your time and money!
SheylaJafarova, June 2026
Amazing experience! Get ready to climb the hills up and down, but it will all totally worth it! Not only our tour guide was friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable but the organizing company went above and beyond to make sure we are taken care of by arranging the place for us to store out luggage and being highly communicative.
