Free walking tours in San Cristobal de las Casas

Luisa es una guía excepcional! La dosis perfecta entre humor y conocimiento. Es genial!

Reliable. Go to the zocalo in the city center and they will gather by the cross in the center of the square, not the square in front of the government building. Look for an open umbrella. The tour is an easy walk but there are hills and steps. We visited the churches, obtained insights into the culture, history and past politics. We learned a little about shopping and what to look for when purchasing certain items, but it was not a sales pitch and purely informational. Learned a little about what to do and see in the city and around San Cristobal. Tried some coffee. Tried some Pox (posh). It was an enjoyable couple hours. Make sure to bring an umbrella in rainy season, just in case. Our guide Carlos did an excellent job and was very experienced. He is a Spanish speaker who speaks English very well. They have other guides too and during season 4 work at a time to split the people. If you can do this tour the first thing when you arrive, I think it is best. Customary tip of 200 pesos, I saw people giving more and less (nothing is free). I highly recommend.

This is the best way to get a lay of the land! Ana was amazing tour guide and cool to meet other people visiting as well.

Laura was the sweetest, explained well. Answered all our questions patiently and gave us the best recommendation. Very nice time .

Carlos was great - very engaging. I usually find walking tours to be a hit or miss but this one was definitely a hit!

Carlos was really passionate about the city and its culture and we could also try the cacao and pox traditionally made in san cristobal! highly recommend this tour, and maybe better do it in the morning because it rains often in thw afternoon. not dor long though

Shared a lot of information during the culture and traditions from the locals.

It was great. Lander did show us also some places where we could taste local food. Information about the city where great and informativ

Nice tour of the main sites (church’s, viewpoints, and market), with stops along the way for recommended restaurants. There were a few tastings which was a nice touch! Overall, good information provided, and a nice way to introduce the city!

It was a very nice tour with Laura. We went in nice places and had lot of explanations. She was patient and we waited everyone

Luisa is a fantastic guide! She’s very engaging and great at delivering all kinds of information including history! The coffee, sweets, chocolate and pox tasting was a lovely surprise and really enhanced the experience. Luisa also gave lots of recommendations on what else to visit in San Cris and where to eat, and gave tips on tourist traps to avoid! Thank you very much for helping us get to know a wonderful city like “San Cris” :)

The tour was amazing. Ramon was very knowledgeable, fun and answered our questions regarding the history of Chiapas. I give it a 20 out of ten!

Luise was absolutely amazing. We had an amazing tour and learned so much, not only about the city but about Chiapas and political matters. Cannot recommend this tour enough

The tour with Ana was fantastic. She covered a wide range of topics affecting San Cristobal, Chiapas and Mexico. We visited areas I wouldn’t have found on my own. She explained the political significance of the street art. Ana was engaging throughout the tour, which lasted almost 3 hours.

Guide was great, very knowledgeable, we enjoyed the whole tour, would recommend to anyone

She was a fantastic tour guide ….

We had a very interesting tour with good and efficient information and some tasting on the way.

Laura was amazing! Clearly very passionate about this area and is super knowledgeable. She really take her time and is no rush! The tour also includes coffee and local POX tasting which is great. I was super impressed with her and really liked her character! Many thanks Laura!! 🤩

Great tour! We ended up joining the Spanish group because there were too many in the English group so probably understood around 90% of it all but what I liked was that it didn't focus on old buildings like most tours. It talking more about the indigenous locals, their struggles and how we can support and understand them better.

Great tour! Our guru was very knowledgable and accommodating.

It was a very nice tour to get to know San Cristobal and all the topics people are confronted with there!

Luisa was absolutely brilliant. The tour was phenomenally interesting, varied, insightful and instructive. Loved her stories, the historical, cultural and political elements of the tour that went off the beaten track and gave us a highly personalised perspective of a city she clearly loves

Had a great time but I am getting a little old for such a fast pace.

One of the best tours I’ve done. Highly recommend

Great tour! Definitely recommended! Luisa gave a wonderful tour which combined history, current and past politics of the region, culture, art, and food and so much more.
