What You’ll Experience

Mercado San Juan de Dios

This gigantic market is vibrant! Explore its three floors bursting with sights, sounds, and enticing aromas. Be prepared for a sensory overload of colorful crafts, fresh produce, and delicious food stalls, a fully-immersive experience of engagement with Guadalajara's local community. Since this is a private tour -just for you and your companions- we can go at our own pace. There’s an endless variety of souvenirs and handicrafts, and we can take as much time as you need to find the perfect items. As part of the culinary experience we will try: 1. Tortas ahogadas: a tomato salsa-drowned pork carnitas sandwich. 2. Tacos de barbacoa: slow-cooked marinated beef, served in grilled tacos. 3. Tejuino: a cold beverage made from fermented corn. 4. Artisanal candies and/or seasonal fruits. To spare you the hassle of dealing with local currency, tipping customs, and making change, the food at the market is already included. All dietary preferences are thoughtfully considered!

Guadalajara Cathedral

On our journey from the market to the birria restaurant, we'll spend 1-hour exploring Guadalajara's iconic landmarks and architectural treasures. Highlights include the majestic Teatro Degollado, the historic Founders Plaza, the city's first Franciscan Mission, the grand Palacio de Gobierno, and the stunning 16th-century Cathedral with its lively surrounding squares. This experience will immerse you in the city's rich history and vibrant culture. As we stroll, I’ll share insightful context that will deepen your understanding of Guadalajara’s rich history, its evolving present, and the challenges shaping its future. Keep in mind, this is a private tour, so we can pause anytime to take a break, enjoy a coffee or ice cream, and capture as many photos as you'd like.

Nueve Esquinas

This plaza connects nine streets and is home to the city's oldest restaurants. The house specialty at Nueve Esquinas is birria, a juicy and delicious hearty meat stew, served with hand-made tortillas, cilantro, onions, lemon and salsa. Before concluding the tour, I’ll be happy to share personalized recommendations for activities, restaurants, bars, and fascinating areas of the city to explore further.
