Guanajuato City Tour

Aaron was the best guide we have encountered in MX. his English is great. Guanajuato was an interesting town, great shopping, local artisans, delicious lunch, met brilliant female Architect, Sustainability project manager. Guanajuato masters of rock wall, tunnels and roads. Impressive University.

This was such a great day trip. Aaron was a great tour guide. He picked us up from San Miguel De Allende at 8am in a roomy big/clean van. We grabbed coffee and we were off to GTO. It took it 1.5 hour to get there. The trip was nice. There is a lot of scenery as you pass through the small towns and the landscape is beautiful. Aaron had a driver which was very efficient for drop offs and pickups. We were a family of 4 with two kids (7 and 9 years). We started at the mummy museum and the kids thought that was pretty cool. It’s strange how they just have them out there for display but still pretty cool. After we hit the town. Such a beautiful and picturesque town. We couldn't stop taking picture of all the buildings and mountains. The town is super colorful. We did the following: Diego rivera museum, underground streets, Callejon del beso, Juarez theatre, the GTO university, many churches, and had lunch at a good spot where the mole was BOMB! The town is like a big maze. You would definitely get lost if you tried to do it on your own. The streets are confusing, small, and there are a lot of dead ends. Driving as well! Those underground streets are confusing and I heard GPS does not work down there. We also visited the mercado and the Alhondiga de Grandaditas building where they hung the heads of Allende, Hildago, Jimenez, and the other guy (forgot his name). The building is pretty cool since you can still see the bullet strikes on the building. So much history everywhere you go. Lastly, we went up the lift to see El Pipila. It was at the top of the mountain and he can be seen throughout the city. We had a perfect day until we got up the mountain and it started raining on us. We got our pictures and got out of there. I would have like staying up there a few more mins to enjoy the views. The views are amazing. Aaron is amazing and knows the city very well. The tour was very informative and my kids loved it. It was their first taste of Mexican history and they loved it. They asked Aaron a lot of questions and he answered them all. We were never pressed for time and Aaron let us take our time with pictures and shopping. We got back to SMA around 4 ish. It was great day and I highly recommend this tour with Aaron. You won't be disappointed.

our guide Aaron was really fantastic. Flexible and so so well informed about all we saw in Guanajuato. we would highly recommend him and the visit to Guanajato.
