Maya took us all around the city of Guadalajara and it was great! She is extremely knowledgeable about the city, and she showed us places we would have never known were there. I recommend Maya. She’s also just a kind person. An informative tour

We had the good fortune to spend multiple days with Maya and we wholeheartedly recommend her. She is knowledgeable, articulate, 100% fluent in English and as gracious and friendly as can be. She is almost like family after spending a few days with her. We feel terribly fortunate to have selected her quite randomly online. Maya is Top Notch!

Maya was a grade A guide who possesses deep local knowledge, superior language skills in English and has the cross cultural (Mexican/US) background which qualifies her in an ideal for this ability. She also possesses a personal warmth, candor, quickness to laugh which endeared her to us instantly. We highly recommend Maya.Everything We Look For In A Guide

Maya nos dio una gran atención, estuvo muy dispuesta a acoplarse a las circunstancias que salieron de última hora y la verdad gran atención y apoyo. El tour fue para unos clientes y la verdad que todo de maravilla, al final se tuvo que cambiar la mayor parte del tour, pero se mostró muy abierta a resolver la situación. 100% recomendada Maya.Muy atenta y dispuesta

Maya was an excellent guide for my partner and me. She made a point to highlight the local culture as well as the many delicious food stops. She was easygoing and fun to talk to. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to experience a local’s view of Guadalajara. A fun and informative tour

You get so much during this food tour! We were totally stuffed by the end of it. Maya was very knowledgeable and flexible with our tour and even let us stop to do some shopping and helped us make a dinner reservation at the end of the tour. Would really recommend this for a foolproof way to eat great food and learn more about GDLGreat experience

Maya showed us a great time exploring the Santa Teresita neighborhood. We tried several local favorites and got a glimpse of everyday life in the area. Learned a lot of the history of the neighborhood and people in it. The costs for all the food was covered, we only paid for drinks. In hindsight, we should have skipped breakfast. By the end of the tour we were waddling back to our car. I highly recommend. Guadalajara walking and eating tour

Maya was great! We were celebrating my husband’s 60th birthday. There were 5 couples and Maya was punctual and very knowledgeable. We got to try several restaurants, including street tacos. Yum! She’s fluent in English. All of our friends thought she was awesome! We highly recommend her. Where Locals Eat

We had a really enjoyable time with Maya. It was very varied, from the Cathedral through a series of beautiful squares to the biggest market in South America. We saw a stall selling hugely expensive saddles, exquisite embroidered belts, medicinal herbs or herbs said to have magical powers. Fascinating. The walk was tailored to what kinds of things we wanted to see based upon an often used plan.Guadalajara in August

Maya was quite flexible in that she agreed to delay our tour by 30 minutes to minimize the impact of rain on our tour. She provided an excellent tour of the Guadalajara downtown area. She highlighted many points of interest and gave us tons of background information and relevant historical details. She was personable and chatted independently with each member of our group as we wandered around. This was an excellent tour and I would highly recommend Maya as a guide.Knowledgeable and informative
