Hello: I am Hector Lopez, I am Tapatio with this word, those born in Guadalajara are known. In 1985, the Secretary of Tourism of Mexico authorized me and gave me my license to work as a tourist guide. Since then I have accumulated many hours as a full-time professional tourist guide. At first I worked with large groups in 40 pax buses. Guiding groups through different cities in Mexico. Mexico City, San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, Morelia, Patzcuaro, Zacatecas, etc. Around Guadalajara because it is the place where I live. Tlaquepaque, Tonala, Lake Chapala, Tequila distilleries. Now I only work with small groups from one person to six. In this way I provide a personal service so I enjoy my work more. And I think my passengers are more satisfied when they enjoy the tour they paid for. More years of experience that I gained over the years. I am a graduate from Guadalajara University. For these reasons I think I am one of the best options to visit the West of Mexico as well as my state that is Jalisco and of course my hometown Guadalajara, I still enjoy doing a tour with tourist My hobbies are hiking mountains. running, and swimming (I still do it three times a week) I have 2 children graduated from college, both working. REGARDS Tour guide bonded by the Tourist Secretaría of Mexico since 1985. Graduated fron Guadalajara's University. Tourist servise school. Engineering School. I have no restrictions to do my job as a tourist guide

Hector was prompt and courteous. He was knowledgeable and gave interesting information throughout my tour. He allowed me to go at my own pace and was great when I asked to stop for something or asked to look at something else. I loved exploring Guadalajara with He tor as my guide.

Hector was exceptionally knowledgeable of his tour topic. He asked what I would like to see/learn about and prepared the tour accordingly. He shared numerous anecdotal comments and social history colorings of the various sites. Hector was considerate of my physical limits and just a very kind person. I really appreciated this tour and his presentation.
