Tour guide was friendly and calm. He was well understood and felt like the tour was from a friend. It was a small group and I liked thag.
We had a great time touring the Basilica and learned so much. The tour was very informative, organized, and enjoyable. Would highly recommend!
Very friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. Our guide was clearly passionate about the subject and enthusiastic.
Was a really great tour where you won’t miss anything. We would not have gotten the depth of the history or understand what and where everything is. This area is pretty vast so Carlis explains everything was wonderful. He was patient and very kind allowing us to explore at our leisure as well. We highly recommend!
It was an awesome tour. Omar did a fantastic job and really great information on the history. Much appreciatws
Our tour guide Omar was really knowledgeable about the Basilica de Guadalupe and it’s history. Bring some comfy shoes, it’s a lot of walking!
Our guide Andres was amazing and so knowledgeable. He gave us a tour of all the churches and the surrounding fountains. The tour began with a hike up many steps to see the Capilla del Cerrito, down towards the Sagrada Tepeyac Garden, Capilla del Pocito, Parish Church of Saint Mary of Guadalupe "Capucins", Expiatory Temple to Christ The King, and lastly we ended at Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe. All in all the tour lasted about 2 hours. The travel company contacted me the day before and we opted to get picked up for two people was 700 MXN, which was helpful. We went at 2:30pm got picked up around 1:30pm. Traffic was a mess so prepare to drive about 45 mins/1 hour. Would recommend Andres for anything Mexico City.
Our guide Carlos was a calming presence amidst the business of the Basilcia of Our Lady of Guadalupe complex. Carlos was very knowledgeable about the history of Guadalupe and the daily activiities and annual fesitivities that take place at the Basilica. He had answers to our questions and made the entire tour most interesting.
Carlos was incredibly knowledgeable and took his time to explain all of the incredible details of the structures within the property that the basilica occupies. I can’t imagine touring the space without Carlos or a guide because we truly learned so much. Highly highly recommend a guided tour!
Our activity tour Carlos was excellent and gave us a very detailed explanation of the basilica and some of Mexican history. He went far and beyond to make sure we were satisfied
