Hello! I am a tour guide who lives in the city of Guadalajara - with the best climate in the world, 80º f during the year.
The economy is iron, arts&amp;crafts, furniture, shoe women factories, and has several technological parks, and cement companies also.

My interest is meeting new people from all over the world and my passion is swimming as a sport. I was for some time a taxi driver and then in 1985 got certified as Bonded Tourist Guide. I have a degree in professional Tourism from the University of Guadalajara.

I worked also exporting to USA and Spain (Arts &amp; Crafts) also invited by the government to the Ibero-American Summit in Guadalajara. I worked as a private driver for the President of the Dominican Republic, where I had a wonderful experience. I was also hired by a federal security company as an interpreter for an American who came to install the software system.

But apart from all these, I want to tell you that Guadalajara has friendly and helpful people and I have not thought of moving since this beautiful city has everything to live quite happily. Also because of its exceptional climate, Guadalajara and Lake Chapala have around 50, 000 American-Canadian retirees.

One of my favorite tours is the Tequila tour since you learn and get to know the process of making the famous Tequila in the Magic Town, and the city center is also very nice with its municipality of Tlaquepaque where there is a great variety of crafts inside colonial-style houses.

I wait for you then in my beautiful city of Guadalajara with Mariachis and the famous Tequila, see you soon!

I'm an experienced Tourist Guide in Guadalajara since 1985, knowledgeable about the city and its attractions. With a population of 6 million, Guadalajara has a lot to offer, and this Lago Chapala Tour is perfect example of a delightful outdoors day tour from Guadalajara.

It is a place for foreigners since it offers a spectacular climate and a view of the lake and mountains that make you feel relaxed, and with the desire to return and enjoy a coffee in its squares and mingle with the people passing through the place.
Then also you can enjoy the boats to get a ride on the lake, also enjoy typical sweets of the region and its handmade snow made from different fruits and its Crafts market and finish trying a local dish like the small Charal fish.
