Tour description
Tumbling through a narrow ravine in a riot of colour, Guanajuato is one of Mexico's most enchanting cities: a UNESCO-listed colonial silver town of winding alleys, hidden plazas and famous underground streets. On this walking tour a local guide leads you through a place that feels like a fairy tale carved into the hillsides.
You will stroll the tree-lined Jardín de la Unión, climb narrow callejones bright with painted houses, and hear the romantic legend of the Alley of the Kiss. Along the way you will discover the silver wealth, the university energy and the birthplace of Mexican independence. Magical and utterly unique, Guanajuato is a joy to explore on foot.
