Ricardo is a great guide! Personable, fun, easy to talk to, with great stories and historical facts of the area. His English is great (he speaks other languages as well). I'm so glad I went on this tour. It was a highlight of my time in Tlaquepaque.

Ricardo’s tour was excellent! He customized it, answered every question and made sure that the pace, the content and all of the communication was top notch. It was so wonderful to get to see to try and to learn new things and get a great sense of Tlaquepaque in such a concentrated way. Ricardo is a fabulous guide and person, and his tour is highly recommended!

'Live your life like a poem: reflect goodness of life with words'
We had an exceptional tour guide, Ricardo. He was well prepared with facts about history, culture, and even where the locals eat. We had such a great time.
It was hot and humid when we started at 11am but, after close to four hours and a lunch break, we have been saturated with information.
First, locals sit under the shade, either for ice cream or Tejuino drunk with corn, lime and brown sugar or coconut water. We had neither. I had pure water with powdered electrolytes and from a wilted being, I got revived to finish the rest of the tour.
We passed by the House of Iguala, where friars planned the independence project. It was more than a project, it became a movement, a war of independence, started in 1810 and finally won, after thousands died in 1850.
Calle Independencia is where the Mexicans declared freedom from the Spaniards, headed by Miguel Hidalgo in 1850. Gov't discovered bones, house, bridge under the street in 2012, bones from 400 B.C., which delayed the construction of the Metro for 10 years.
Aside from the history, we learned about clay making. Like a Jarito is a container for tequila. It looks like a mosaic if tiles with apple green highlights.
We got introduced to pescado ala diablo, a $6 lunch, and of course, tacos de pescados.
I highly recommend this tour guide as it helps deepen your knowledge about the place and helps save time from being lost. This was a walking tour in English, recommended by a good friend, @Jon Lawrence Rivera. We had a great time with Ricardo!

It ended up being just me and Ricardo and that couldn't have been a better scenario.
He showed me around the whole area, gave me a Mexican history lesson, taught me about the area, food, drinks, culture, art. He was so super friendly and helpful, and generous with his time and happy to answer all questions. I'm so glad I took the tour rather than just walked around by myself. Thank you Ricardo!

Ricardo fue muy generoso con su tiempo y no hesitó en salir de lo planeado para conversar sobre temas culturales, actualidad mexicana, religión etc. Recomiendo mucho está experiencia con Ricardo, agregó mucho a mi visita de Tlaquepaque.
