So today we want to give you some basic recommendations to enjoy your visit under any pretext you can think of.

A tour from Guadalajara

The size and history of the city cannot be known in a single getaway, but the ideal way to start and get to know the basics of Guadalajara is to take a tour to better understand the details that the Tapatia Pearl offers you. If you have no idea of ​​a tour operator to contact, or you are reading this in the historic center of the city, we recommend you go to Plaza Guadalajara or Rotonda de Jaliscienses Ilustres, here you will find tourist tour services such as the Tapatío Tour. Of course, make sure that the guide has a badge that certifies his or her work.
