Tour description
Guadalajara is the proud capital of Jalisco and the birthplace of two of Mexico's greatest icons: mariachi music and tequila. A grand colonial city with elegant plazas, soaring churches and world-class murals, it is considered the most 'Mexican' of cities. On this walking tour a local guide reveals its history and traditions.
You will admire the twin-spired cathedral, stroll a chain of beautiful plazas, and hear about the murals of Orozco, the mariachis and the surrounding tequila country. Along the way you will discover the culture that defines western Mexico. Grand and lively, Guadalajara is a wonderful city to explore on foot.
