Privater Rundgang in Guanajuato

Recently, I took my second city tour with Cacomixtle. I enjoyed the first one so much that it was indeed worth doing again. On the first tour I took years ago, Susana provided a great first overview of the city. The second city tour that I took recently with Antonio showed me many different parts of the city that I had not yet discovered. Both times, my guides gave me so many good suggestions for things to do after my tour as well.

Private walking tour in Guanajuato When I made a private tour reservation the evening prior to the 9 a.m. tour, I wasn’t certain how quickly or if I would hear from someone considering the late request. However, I received a response from someone at the tour operator, Cacomixtle, within two hours. They mentioned there was a couple that requested the same time and asked if I would be okay taking the tour with the couple. Because the tour was rather expensive, I asked if the cost could be discounted because it was no longer private, and they agreed. The tour guide Berenice “Bere” was fantastic. She grew up in Guanajuato and was very knowledgeable about the city’s history and added a lot of personal touches and stories to her tour which made it feel authentic. She is fluent in English and answered all of our questions, provided suggestions, and gave us options especially toward the end of our tour when we could have continued seeing more in the streets of the city or go up to the Pipila monument. The customer service and communication was top notch and the tour was excellent. I highly recommend both Berenice and Cacomixtle. They provided a great introduction to my time in Guanajuato and made it easier to locate sites and plan where I would spend the rest of my time during my stay. Thank you Bere and Cacomixtle.

Antonio was a fantastic guide who is very knowledgeable about the city of Guanajuato. He met us promptly at our hotel and led us throughout much of the historic center of the town, tunnels, market, etc. Being able to walk and learn from a true local was a special experience. He understands the history and importance of the city and it’s people, and combined that in a creative way with stories from his past. I would recommend doing this tour on your first full day in the city, it really helps to get your bearings, and Antonio was able to provide great recommendations to fill our time in the best ways possible for the rest of our stay. An added bonus is that the pace of the walking tour was a good acclimation to the elevation if you are not used to the altitude of Central Mexico.
