Hola, My name is Anwar and I am the coolest tour guide in Mexico. My family is from Guadalajara, Jalisco, the birthplace of tequila and mariachi. My tour guiding started when I became an Uber driver. I would pick up tourists in Uber and talking in English they would ask me what places to see, what restaurants to eat at, where is there live mariachi. . . etc. In the end, they would just hire me to be their guide/driver. That's how I became a guide a bit over 3 years ago, and I love it!! My years as an Uber driver have given me great knowledge of the city of Guadalajara and its many places. I also like history and the Arts and I combine that with my passion to show visitors the richness of my culture and the beautiful landmarks that Guadalajara has to offer. I've also lived part-time in the United States and this background has given me a unique perspective on how I view my country and how others view Mexico, something that helps me connect with visitors! I can do tours all over the state of Jalisco as well as personalize them. I especially like when it's somebody's first time in Guadalajara and I'm their guide, showing them around. A guide is also an ambassador to the country, we are the representation of the country, the connection between the visitor and what's visited, and it's my goal that all visitors have a great experience here! I will get you up close to the culture and people of Guadalajara and show you why it is an important part of Mexico and the Mexican culture. There is a slogan: Jalisco is Mexico! In my tours, you will find out why that is so.

Overview of your Guadalajara tour

This tour is perfect for someone who has just one day to visit all the beautiful attractions that Guadalajara, Zapopan, and Tlaquepaque have to offer! I will guide you through the historical centers of the three municipalities and narrate how each is connected throughout my country's history. Tlaquepaque is a "Pueblo Magico" with a rich artistic tradition of ceramics. We will see all of its most important artistic hubs as I explain how this city is tied to Guadalajara. We will also go to the fascinating underground aqueducts beneath El Refugio center. Zapopan has a truly unique origin story. Its 17th-century "Basilica of the Virgin of Zapopan" which is closely connected to the Cathedral of Guadalajara, receives annual pilgrimages centering on La Zapopanita, a small icon venerated locally since the 16th century. We will also visit the aforementioned Cathedral, along with other relevant cultural sites, pausing along the way to take lots of pictures!
