After a bit of a late start from Berenice i would have to say One of the best walking tours ever👍 Very very knowledgeable interesting and lovely guide perfect English on a historical tour of a beautiful rich cultural city. Berenice is charming and a treasure trove of information who sets a great pace to cover so much of GDL past and relevant history as well as the newer architectural and cultural sites along this tour, a great day spent! Thank you
Berenice was wonderful! She shared the history of the murals and the city with passion. We enjoyed her company and all the architecture, murals, and stories.
I’ve been in city tours all over Europe and by far this was the best one I’ve ever been on! So informative, amazing things to see, beautiful churches and murals with so much information given. Berenice was amazing and we couldn’t recommend her more!!!! Such a great knowledgeable guide!
Guadalajara is an amazing city and requires a really good guide to explain its remarkable history in the context of the sights you are seeing. We were fortunate to get Berenice Miramontes, who provided the best walking tour we have ever been on - and, we have been on many, all over the world. She is knowledgable, smart, fun, sensitive to her customers' interests and adds layers of information to each sight without being long-winded or over-explaining. Don't miss seeing this wonderful city and I hope you are fortunate enough to have Berenice as your guide.
