Tour description
On this tour you will understand how the city was born, as well as the history of mining in it and why the city was so important in the independence of Mexico.
You will also discover the most representative historical buildings of one of the most beautiful cities in the world and what makes it so famous today, such as its mummies.
You will experience walking like a Guanajuato native through the city's most significant alleyways and its underground communication routes: tunnels.
There's nothing like a native to better explain our history, culture, architecture, etc., and I am proudly from Guanajuato.
