    An All-In-One Tour
    Jason_L, Mar 2024
    An incredible walking tour! Naomi was nothing short of an amazing tour guide. Being a "Tapatios" she is not only proud of her city but a wealth of knowledge be it history, places to visit as well as where to eat. I had an amazing day eating my way through the cultural sites of Guadalajara. I highly recommend booking this tour with Naomi.
    Response from Host, Mar 2024
    Thank you very much Jason, I hope it has helped you to carry out your new projects, you will do great
    Highly recommended
    Hugh_S, Mar 2024
    Highly recommended. Great mix of history, art, culture and cuisine! I was a solo traveler so this was a great way to see the sights with insights.
    Response from Host, Mar 2024
    I loved serving you, I hope you soon decide on your new residence and of course the cooking class is pending, see you very soon
    Wonderful full day in Guadalajara
    Tom_E, Jan 2024
    Noemi was such a great guide! My boss and I were in town for a couple days on a work trip and only had one day off to explore Guadalajara. Since I had never been I really wanted to make the most of it and see as many major sites as possible, experience the culture, learn, and try a variety of local food. And this tour truly delivered in all aspects. Noemi knew so much about the area and was a true pleasure to spend the day with. One of my favorite things about her tour is that it was not like the typical super tourist'y tours you often get while on vacation and it was clear that there was no back end deals with merchants and restaurants. This is her own small business where she clearly put a lot of work and study into planning a fun and informative route where she takes you to her own personal favorite food spots and stands (all wonderful with a nice variety) but also allows plenty of room for customization: say your more into churches and want to focus more time on that or want to shop a bit while in the huge market: she was very accommodating... The one potential negative (as mentioned by others) is to be ready for a long day... We did over 16k steps and didnt get done till close to 7pm. But it was all at a casual pace that most could handle. Anyways, very highly recommend this tour!
    Response from Host, Jan 2024
    Tom, I also really liked spending time with you and your boss, it was great that you took the day to enjoy it and understand a little of the history, I loved your enthusiastic way of participating and being so willing to see the places and try the meals, I hope to see you soon
    Best food and history tour in Guadalajara
    Brian, Jan 2024
    The food and historical tour was awesome. Our guide, Noemi Castillo, a native to Guadalajara was very informative and personable. She guided us to the best food, snacks and market. We really loved her expertise.
    Response from Host, Jan 2024
    Thank you guys, I really hope you enjoy the rest of your stay, enjoy your company and positive energy, I hope to see you again
    Wonderful and friendly tour
    Mark_L, Dec 2023
    We received an excellent overview of the city, it’s history, culture politics, art, and great food. Neomi was friendly and charming and generally wonderful. Very highly recommended. This was more of a general tour of the city than specifically gastronomic. There definitely was discussion (and eating) of some wonderful food, but also murals, history, churches, neighborhoods. It is a significant amount of walking - ours was 7.3 miles (12k). But it was slow and mostly flat walking. Our tour began at 9 am and didn’t finish until 6 pm.
    Response from Host, Dec 2023
    I loved that they came to know more about my beautiful city and that they were so open to trying the gastronomy, next time don't have breakfast at the hotel 🤭
    Excellent , Educational, Delicious!
    Annette_H, Sep 2023
    Amazing tour! Naomi was so great. She gave use a tour of the city, food, sites and history of Guadalajara! Be prepared to eat tons of food! Be prepared to walk! Our 82 year old mother was able to hang in there the entire tour. This was a great way to get to learn about the culture, food and history! I highly recommend this tour and worth every penny! Thank you Naomi!
    Response from Host, Sep 2023
    Thank you very much for visiting my beautiful city and allowing me to be part of your experience, I really love your mother and look at how we walk a lot, seeing them enjoy themselves so much is what drives me
    Highly Recommended Guadalajara tour
    Kelvin_S, Sep 2023
    Noemi’s Gastronomy city tour was excellent! I couldn’t ask for a better tour guide on my first and a very limited time in Guadalajara. We started at 9 am and didn’t get done until around 6:30 pm. It was worth the money I booked for a solo tour (the introvert in me). Noemi was very knowledgeable and an amazing planner. Starting the tour with an amazing breakfast then museum then so on was just what a foodie and a traveler like me needed and wanted. I don’t really know much about the history of Guadalajara but with Noemi’s tour and knowledge it was a great learning about the city itself experience. Highly recommend for those of you who has never been to Guadalajara to book Noemi as your tour guide. You will never be disappointed. I can’t rave enough the food and history of the city. Oh and make sure to bring a water bottle and umbrella in the event that it rains or it’s too hot for you to go around town. Almost importantly keep an open mind and come hungry to the tour! 😬
    Response from Host, Sep 2023
    Thank you very much Kelvin I would like to show you more details of the city because I really love it and I consider that food is extremely important to really get to know the culture, but one day is not enough, however I am very glad that you have an idea clearer than the beginnings of this beautiful city, I hope you want to return very soon
    An amazing day!
    Laurie_O, Aug 2023
    Trying the best chivó birria, trying pitahaya ice cream. Meeting the creator of this fantastic ice cream. The San Juan de Dios market where we stopped and had lunch and shopped. Museum Cabañas was amazing. Noemi was incredibly knowledgeable and kind. We both enjoyed our day with her. I recommend her and her tour.
    Response from Host, Sep 2023
    I also had a great time with you, and it rained and everything, I really appreciate your kindness, enthusiasm and joy, I hope you come back soon we have a cooking class pending
    Naomi was a great...
    Ed_C, Jun 2023
    Naomi was a great host....very informative and her enthusiasm for the city is contagious. The food was fantastic!! Thank you Naomi.
    Response from Host, Jun 2023
    Thank you very much also to you guys, I would like you to spend more time to show you so many corners and stories that the city hides, for now you have already realized the beginnings of this great metropolis.
    TAKE THIS TOUR!
    Liam_C, Feb 2023
    Noemi is a fantastic guide, not simply because she knows all the places to take you and all the best food to eat, but because she is so knowledgeable and charming. She and I literally spent the entire day together poking fun at each other, while she taught me about the city and bought me all the local snacks and food I could handle. If you’re after a very genuine tour where your guide won’t just passively lead you through the entire experience, then this is the one to book.
    Response from Host, Feb 2023
    Liam for me it was also a perfect day, your participation and openness to taste our food and experience the historic center was admirable, thank you for your visit.
    Perfect day!
    Jordan_A, Jan 2023
    This is the perfect tour! It’s a great way to get an overview of Guadalajara’s history, people, and traditional foods. Noemi is incredibly enthusiastic about sharing her city with her guests and tailors the tour to your interests and needs. Highly recommend!
    Response from Host, Jan 2023
    Thank you very much Jordan, we have some things left to do but I hope you have the opportunity to come back, I love to share with people like you as much as possible of what my beautiful city has to offer.

    Best trip to Guadalajara
    JSpice_C, Nov 2022
    This tour was absolutely wonderful! We had an amazing time with our guide Noemi who was both a consumate professional and extremely knowledgeable. Our tour had a minor mix up (not our guides fault) and she handled everything with such ease and consideration to all parties that we were all able to have a very fun and safe tour. Wear comfortable shoes and get ready for lots of lo cal food and fun.
    Response from Host, Nov 2022
    Thank you guys very much for your patience and consideration, people so considerate and really willing to enjoy to the fullest with respect for the traditions and especially our local cuisine are ideal to live this experience.
    Best Food & Culture Tour in Guadalajara!!
    Cindy_C, Nov 2022
    Our guide, Noemi, greeted us in a beautiful traditional dress (see picture below) and started our day with breakfast in a historical district restaurant. While we ate, she told us the significance of the buildings and area. The food was outstanding! What we loved about the tour is learning the history and culture of Guadalajara and how it’s tied to the food and drink. Noemi is very knowledgeable and has a sense of humor! We highly recommend this walking tour of the downtown area of Guadalajara. I’d rate this tour 10 stars!! We will remember our time with Noemi with smiles! The day flew by before we knew it! Make sure to wear comfortable shoes because you’ll need them.
    Response from Host, Nov 2022
    Cindy! thank you very much, for me it was also a wonderful day, I love seeing people who are so interested in the history of this beautiful city and that they give me the opportunity to be the one to share this experience with you... yes, you have to wear shoes comfortable and sunscreen
    Naomi is wonderful, tour was thorough!
    Zach_K, Nov 2022
    A very thorough tour of relevant and historically interesting aspects of Guadalajara. Naomi was very knowledgeable, fun, and sincere! Naomi loves her city and it shows in the passion she brings to the tour. She also handled our tab everywhere we went which was nice (it's included in the price). Her English was great and was able to answer all of my questions. If you are interested in history, architecture, and a little culinary curiosity, then this tour will be good for you.
    Response from Host, Nov 2022
    Thank you very much Zach, for me it was a pleasure to spend the day with you and your wife who also made my job very easy and a lot of fun; I loved to see the respect and interest you put in the details of this city that I love.
    Blessed
    Efran_G, Oct 2022
    Noemi’s “Knowledgeable” areas of town were on point. My family and I had a blessed excellent time touring and were shared detail time lines that helped us visualize as Noemi was explaining it to us.
    Response from Host, Oct 2022
    Efraín thank you very much, for me it was also a blessing to have traveled through this city that is also your city, with your beautiful family... remember that here you have your home.
    A food and history intro to Guadalajara
    Nancy_D, Jun 2022
    This is a fabulous tour. We covered a lot of ground and got to see so much we would have missed had we not had Naomi leading the way. We started the morning at a classic restaurant that is written up in travel magazines. Then visited the newly opened Ladies Bridge, various historical buildings, and the market for lunch. The tour was private and Naomi was so kind allowing us to tailor the tour to accommodate our desires and physical abilities. We highly recommended this tour. Naomi is passionate about GDL, it’s history, and food.
    Response from Host, Jun 2022
    Nancy! thank's for choosing my tour, I'm so glad that I met such a great people like you and your husband to show you parts of the Mexican culture like food and history
    Fun day of food and history
    Lisa_T, Jun 2022
    This walking tour was fun because it was a combination of food, architecture and history. Noemi picked us up on time and we started with a nice breakfast. There were too many stops to mention but it was great having someone to guide you around. It made our visit more meaningful. Noemi was super knowledgeable and clearly enjoyed sharing her love of the city. I would book a tour with Noemi again.
    Response from Host, Jun 2022
    Lisa to me was a pleasure to meet you and your son, and thanks for letting me show you this beautiful city, now you're part of it and its history
    Mágica ciudad de Guadalajara
    Csar_O, Jun 2022
    Una visita obligatoria al centro de la ciudad de Guadalajara, con los placeres más ricos que puedes encontrar en ella, todo lo tradicional y lo hermoso de sus museos, acompañados y muy bien ilustrados por Noemi.
